Editor Beacon: ' Our oldest inhabitants say they never experienced such weather in tho winter season as wa are now having yesterday at 2 o'clock p. m , the thermometer stood 83 in the shade. We heard one gentleman say he had corn nearly ' six inches high ; another said he bad Irish potatoes nearly twelve inches high. Mr. Z .ph D.

Editor Roanoke Beacox : Dear Sin: The old year has passed away leaving nothing but tho memory of its days of joy and sorrow and lssa is no more forever. With some it has, uo doubt, left pleasant memories, while with other, sorrow no tongue cau express. The brightest hopes havj been shattered, leaving but a shadow aud a sigh that such sweet dreams could not be realized but we bid it adieu forever, v-ith sid hearts, when we realize that wo are one more year nearer the dark vitlley of death, but sadness turns to smiles of hope as the new yeir couirs in , with sweet promises of a brighter future and as it passes by and its joys , aud sorrows become of the past, let us strive each day to be mora charitable, more kind, more ob dient to the will of our Savior and thoughtful of our fellow creatures. Truly this life is one conflict: this world -one grand battle field with sin an j Bntan for our enemies, we may sarreaoer and loose, or we miy fight bravely and wiu, dear reader, how many victories will you and I win? How often shall we maintaiu right in the face of wrong; lift up truth from tho mire of error and unbelief and bravely bear the trials Of hfe. Ah ! let us strive to be victorious, let us give the "soft auswer" that "turiieth away wrath" and strive to overcome the enemy of onr soulo and do with all our might what God has given us to do, that the world may be better and happier for our having lived and that we may one day find that we. with all the hostx, who have been f utliful unto the end. are registered in the Book of Lif Christinas, which we all Welcomed so gladly, has passed and has marked its aunual visit in many homes and left many kind remembrances behind. Ou that glori ous anniversary it was our plensnre to meet many friendji, yet some pleasant foices were absent. We think thwre is 1.0 plensnra greater than meeting our friends and wish, ing them joy on that day of general rejoicing or if we cannot see them, to know that we are kindly remembered aud we thank Heaven for itu mauy gilts the greatest among which is the blessing of many kind friends. The usual viwit of santa clans made tin the happiest day of the year to the children and their eager happiness recalled to the minds of their elders their own happy childhood, ere they knew aught of care or sorrow, when life seemed one long summer day never to oa broken Dy clouds or ram.

Our sympathies go out to the bereaved family who mourn the loss of wife aud mother, but God doeth all things well and He has, no doubt, culled her to that bright laud where suffering and sor row are known no more. Mr." A. S. Keiley and his sister, Miss Rilda, of Washington, spent the holidays with relatives at this place. Our much beliked aud popular young friend, Mr. F. L.

' 'r When the alarm of fire was given on Friday last I was standing on Washington street, but seeing the crowd making for the Westend of our little city of courso, as an old fireman I too drifted down that way. On getting to the scene of alarm I saw that it was useless to try to save any of the ad. ; joiniug buildings , so I went in that old ware house to see if the negroes were going to mov) out, on getting inside I was met with somewhat of a eool receptiort by an Old colored woman who : Said : "Jus luk er here man you git er I'll ax dat sir perlice. man Frank Ayers ter muve yer, . jes caze dar am er jitlle fire you white trash gumps in an am guine ter tare us up whedder er no au I is guine ter kick aginst yer.'' I told the woman that we meaut no harm to her but if she insisted we would not move her things, but as a friend I would advise her to look for more comfortable qn alters as the house was on fire. Just tueu the flames burst through the roof and the old lady realized that her home was going and with one scream she left the house saying, "law white folks is you guine ter let us be burnt up." I came ont of the house and 8a w Bruce Latham trying to shoulder the building, he said that that was his property and he did not like to sex it burn up, X told the young man to go to the street, take hold of the edaie of the lot and hhove it in the river, I thought he would mako better time than he would walking off with the house on his back like a pacts peddler, but Bruce is one of thojc boys that likes bis own way so I left him. I came down the street to see what was doing, I saw lots of people at work hard trying to save the town while others were only getting in the way. I wended my way to Keid & Dukes Uied to get to the roof but had no axe and could not get one, at last Mr. Surry Parker said he would give a quarter for an axe to which offer a colored man said, "boss does yer mean it," and after being assured that the quarter would be paid he left soon returned with au axe for which he was paid twenty .five cents and the men got on the roof. In the mean time Capt Latham had arrived with his engine aud had made his way to the roof and as he stuck the nozzel through the space in the roof made by the 25o axe the stream struck Mr. Parker full in the face, which almost drowned him, he slid out of the way and let Mr. L. T. Hous ton receive the benefit of a bath, by that time the Captain had got to the top and could see what to do and the fire was put out. After all danger was over wo were all standing ou the corner telling what we had seen and done when one young man told how, at the flrwt alarm, another young man bad taken two buckets and started for the country, returning when the fire wus most over almost out of breath, auotber told how ho saw eight men moving an empty goods box while two others were trying to move a grist mill that weighed thirty -three hundred pounds, vavious other experiences were given in like manner. There is one thing connected with tho fire Mr. Editor which I think is worthy of comment and that is the work done by our colored citizsns. Never in my life have seen the negroes work so earnest in aflrp. There were a few men of both races that did not work and will not at any time, they only stand around with hands shoved in their pockets, getting in the way and telling other men what ought to be done I notice on my rounds this wetk that the hotel could bo improved by a coat of paint; that there are too many bar rooms in town for the cood of onr voung men; that Louis Jackson is well fitted up for giving onr citizens a good shftve; that Beu Skiles is building rather a, fine resturant; that there are several new houses going up near the depot; that John Piercy is thinking of taking a stand in the Methodist choir as cornet player,( what wonders a pretty lady can accruptisu) that G.rrett's bear still draws a crowd, that there are an unusual number of pretty uirls in town, that Henry Midcett goes to dinner 6oouer than anyone else, that there are quite a number of colored people that taka the Beacon. "FLirr." SNOWDEN LETTER- Snowden, N. C, Jan. 13, '90. Mr "Editor: As I see all of your cor. resndents have had something to say about Christmas, guess I will have , to go back to the 25th cf December and say a few words. They all s:iy that it was such a dull time. I am happy to say that it was not the case here, we had every amusement that a person could think of to make the times lively and pleasant, from a wedding toashooticg match. On Christmas day Mr. Michael Payne, of Dare county, and Miss Lula Sawyer, of Currituck, were united in the holy bonds of Matrimony, Mr. J. L. DeCormis, J. P., officiating. Mr. W. K.

And beiug that they weiro strangers in this town, Mr. Geo. E' Stevenson give tlioni an invittaion to a coon hunt, which they ao. cepted with much pleasure.

The o'possum was np the same tree, and he soon found bis mistake and commenced shooting the o'possum and he not being used to hearing bo many guns came down the tree to see what the trouble was and we ciugut him. By this tiine we had forgotten which way the road was. We had a boy with us to pilot us through the woods; he started to show us the way out and we followed him until he carried us over one log five times and we come to the conclu sion he was lost. Some of the boys told him it was get us out or lose his life, so he said if they would spare his life he would get us oat safe, so he started and saon brought ns to that same old log, st the Massachusetts boys got tired of that fun and Court Martialed the alm06t-Bcared-to. death boy, but Mr. Joseph liaukius being a first-rate lawyer, took pity on the boy and plead very earnest for him to be re leased on the groouds that be would never cavry Us across that log again.

SIX ' nOU.'E9 BURNED TUB EFFICIENT WORK OF OUR FIRE DEPARTMENT ' Tne INTEREST MANIFESTED BY OUR CITIZBNS BOTH, WHITE I AND KL&CK. I Oa Friday afternoon last at 3:15 the alarm of fire was given in the neighborhood of Jeffereoa and Water streets. Ou going to the point of alarm it was found that the mill belonging to Mr, U. A. Prince was on fire, every effort was made to extinguish the flames but iu vain as the building was then almost consumed. From the mill the dwe'ling adjoining took fire also a large gin house belonging to Bherrod fc Newberry, a small teniment house and a large ware, house used as a dwelling for colored people the property of Mr. Chaa. Latham and a black smith shop, as these ' buildings were bo closely connected every effort proved fruitless. While these buildings were burning and the excitement was at its higheht fire was discovered iu the roof of the store occupied by ueid & Duke two blocks away, having been set on fire by sparks from the burning buildings, The fire department at onoe turned their attention to that put of the towu, but on reaching tho root of that building the noble and almost exhausted firemen were horror stricken as looking over the town from their elevated position they saw no less than fourteen buildings on fire besides the ones they had just left, they could see the buildings take fire as the sparks and smoke wag driven in every direction by the heavy wind, but .to give up iu dispoir meant destruction to our town, and with renewed energy and firm faith in their fearless Captain, they fought the flames the harder going from building to building until, by the help of almost every citizen, the fire was under control, without the loss of any property except the six buildings first consumed. The ltoauoka Fire Company, though it has been disbanded for soma time, did some fine work, for which it deserves great credit and to its heroic captain, Mr. E. 11. Latham is due the thanks of our entire people for at no time, though almost drowned by the deluge of water or agaia blistered by the Amies, did he give back or show any dis. position todesertthenozzla.no roof was too high for him and his men to ascend. Bat to Capt. Latham and bis fearless men is not doe all the praise, for our citizens all worked with a vim to save the town from destruction, though men had uo property to loose, they worked to save that of others, risking their lives to help others iu their midst. To the negroes is due much credit for the interest taken by them iu the rescue of the town, with a few exceptions, they all worked hard and instead of trying to destroy or steal the goods, they offered their protection as good honest citizens, aud iu their behalf we wortld say that .no town can boast of a more orderly set, and from their actions on Friday we mut say thai if there is any prejudice existing be tween tho two races in this town we failed - While 'the town is to be congratulated to see it. upon having such skillful firemen, yet we couid see that there was a lack of govern, ment and training, and we would suggest that the citizens organize at once. The estimate loss on property destroyed $4 800, with no insurance. Hotel Arrivals- The following named persons were regis tered at the Latham ilouic during the past week : M. L. Farrell Geo. V.
