THE SEMI-WEEKLY ROBESONIAN 2 PARKTON PARAGRAPHS. Another Account of the Ditat troui Fire-A Play by Local Talent Other Items. Cvrespondence of Tho Robesonian. Parkton, Feb. 26 -Many hap- pennings since our last writing, some very exciting and some very pleasant. The first to men tion is the large and disastrous fire which occurred last Thurs day night about 8 o'clock. The fire started in Croomy Smith's store and burned very rapidly, spreading to T. W. Thompson's, thence to the large double store of H. C. McM llan. F. N. Fisher occupying the first part of this store and the firm of Odum & Marley occupying the main build ing, first and second floor, all four stores and a beef market, with a large supply of fresh beef. There was nothing saved from Smith's store nor the beef store. Thompson, Fisher, and Odum & Marley saved some of their goods, but goods were damaged to a great extent There was no in surance on the store building. Three of the above storebuildings were owned by A. H. Perry. Thompson, Fisher, and Odum & Marley carried some insurance on their stock. The loss is very heavy on the owners of the stores and the merchants. The depot caught several times but was saved by heroic work of the bucket force; also the residence of Mr. H. C. McMillan was saved only by hard work; also the Sim jons restaurant waja saved hv a close rub. L. E. Hughes' brick store was also watched closely, the roof being kept wet for some time. Fortunately a large crowd of people gathered quickly after the alarm was given and no time was lost to save everything that could be saved. Sandy Simmons and J. R. Beal, of the colored folkt, deserve special mention of their manly and effectual work There will be no more wooden buildings erected on the block. Odum & Marley have moved the remainder of their stock in the Brown brick store; T. W.Thomp son and F. N. Fisher occupying the J. D. Gilhs stores, while Croomy Smith's was a total loss. The play that was given on last Friday night at the academy Hearts and Diamonds was a success A full house and all enjoyed the occasion to the full est. Each one carried out their part creditably. The curtains fell promptly at 8 o'clock, the band rendered a selection and the concert was opened with a recitation by Miss Annie Will iamson. The door receiptsere $33.20, for which we have Deen asked to thank everyone present for their patronage. Lumber Bridge and St. Pauls and Rex were well represented. Miss Mamie Parham is to be congrat ulated on her untiring efforts in getting up the above entertain ment The band also was a feat ure. Mr. A. T. Hughes of Ludowica, Ga., is assisting E. B. Daniel, cashier of the bank. Mr. W. C. Baggett of Red Springs and fam ily visited Mr. T. W. Thompson Sunday. Mr. Baxter Hodges of John's Station visited home folks Sunday. Rev. L. E. Stack preached to a full house Sunday. His theme was Masonry and it was a delightful sermon. The singing was especially good, both morning and evening, with Mrs. D. S. Currie at the organ. Mr. Stack left today to attend the district Sunday school convention which meets in Sanford. We understand that the ladies of the Great Eastern Star will give an entertainment at the academy next Thursday night for the ben efit of the Oxford orphanage, so you see there is something doing all the time. This keeps people out of mischief. The next move on foot of great importance we expect to hear of the graded school building contract. Show us some more pretty babies' pictures. They are all pretty.

Mark 1:14-28; Luke t:1-1L Golden Text The harvest truly is plenteous, but the laborers are few, Pray ye therefore the Lord of the har vest that he will send forth laborers into bis harvest Matt 1x37-38. (1.) verses 14-10 uow do you un derstand the phrase, "preaching the gospel of the kingdom of God?" (2.) What is repentance? (3.) If a man is truly penitent does he necessarily believe the gospel ? Why or why not 7 (4.) Verses 10-18 Take the two occu pations, literal fishermen and "fish ers of men," and say which would be the more honorable calling to one whom God had called to be a literal fisherman. (5.) Did Jesus invite or command them to follow him? (0.) Uow do you account for the strange fact that these two men so promptly forsook their nets and fol lowed him? (7.) Verses 10-20 Why did Jesus have a preference for unlearned fish ermen rather than scholars to become bis chief apostles? (8.) Why is it probable that Jesus knew these men in advance and select ed them for their fitness for the work? (9.) Does God ever call any man to a work for which he is not fitted? GJve your reasons. - 'ifro) TeiWes r22 Is every man un-" der obligation to keep the Sabbath day and to do some good on that day, as Jesus did? Give your reasons. (11.) Will any preacher who knows the mind of God astonish his hearers as Jesus did? (12.) Verses 23-28 What proof Is there that today a very bad man, pos sessed with the worst devil we know, may by coming to Jesus be suddenly made a very good man? (13.) Luke v:l-3 Should all true preachers be as popular and draw crowds like Jesus did at this time? Why or why not? (14.) There are thousands of people on the streets and at different resorts who never attend any place of wor ship. Why is it the duty of the mod ern church to send the gospel to them where they are? (15.) Verses 4-7 What reason is there to think that God takes as much In terest in our secular business as Jesus did in the business of Peter? (10.) Do all those who get God's di rections on their business matters ob tain from him reliable information as to where or how success may be achieved? Why or why not? (17.) Why should our past business failure be no bar to our faith concern ing God's present business directions? (18.) Verses 8-9 now do you account for it that this great business success made Peter see his sins? (19.) Do phenomenal business bless ings Increase or decrease a good man's humility? (20.) Versa 11 When is it right and when wrong for a Christian to give up his secular business and devote him self wholly to Christian work?
