Child Burned to Death. The tenement dwelling of Joe Dowty, colored, on side of the road next to the fair grounds, was de stroyed by fire Sunday night, and in the fire one of Dowty's children was burned to death, and a dog also lost its life in the flames. The house took fire, we learn, while the other members of the family were in the kitchin, about half past nine o'clock, and before it was dis covered the roof was falling in on the sleeping child. People cannot be too particular as to how children are left alone in rooms where there is a fire, and every precaution should be taken to guard against such terrible accidents. Harmony of Dress.

The New York Morn ing Telegram, of recent date, de votes considerable space to the great send-off' given to Mr. Andrew J. Joyner, when he sailed from New York for the other side on the "Mauretania." Many of the most noted horsemen accompanied him to the dock to see him safely aboard and the band played "God Save the King," as the great ship headed her way for the "Old World. " Mr. Joyner spent a day in Weldon shaking hands with his many Weldon friends during his vacation. Next year he will train the biggest stable of American horses that race in Great Britain. Here's hoping for his continued success in the land on the other side of the "big pond." Death of Mrs. Summerell. Mrs. Lillie Boone Summerell, wife of Mr. E. L.

Weldon People Remembered what Happened Eleven Years Ago. When the snow flakes began to fall upon the just and the unjust Fri day last, Feb. 1 1, the weather wise began te wag their heads and say, "history is repeating itself." People remembered what hap pened eleven years ago. Februa ry 1 1th, 1899, was the beginning of the great snowstorm. "Eleven years ago, and the eleventh of the month," said the man who knows. "I told you so," said the fair members of the Thursday After noon Club. "It's all in the books," suggest ed a member of the "Book Club," and sure enough the 1 1 th anniver sary of the great blizzard of 1899 set in on the 11th of February, 1910, at about the same hour of the day only a little earlier and all during the afternoon the snow came down in a blinding fury, and as the soft flakes drifted along Washington avenue, and swept with terrific violence around Evans' corner, it did appear, indeed, as if we were right in for another great snow storm. Fortunately rain set in during the evening and by the morning the snow had almost dis appeared, the sun smiled upon Weldon and there was a general sigh ot relief. i ne oldest innaDitant men grew reminiscent and recounted the de tails of the great storm of 1899 On Saturday February II, 1899, jus? eleven years, the first snow of the blizzard began to fall. 1 1 was a quarter past two in the after noon when the first flakes began to sift through the clouds. Not until the evening wore away, and the night passed, did people gener ally realize mat a great storm was coming. All day Sunday the snow fell with a persistency that caused people to become alarmed. For the coal bins in Weldon were near ly empty and wood was scarce and high. When Monday morning dawned the snow was still falling thick and fast and was piled high along the sidewalks, upon the streets and everywhere. Business was prac tically suspended and for three or lourdaysno mails reached weldon All trains were tied up, and some ot the railroad men in Weldon to day have never recovered from the severe colds they took while work ing upon the yards to clear the tracks. A week of mild weather follow ed and then for two or three days the sidewalks were in such a slushy condition that it was almost impos sible to cross any street in Weldon, without wading in melting snow over one s shoe tops. No one can lorget the great snow storm of 1 899 and let us all be thankful that history did not re peat itself in 1910. Teachers' Association.

A special meeting of the town board of commissioners was held Wednesday evening, February 9, at the city hall for the purpose of considering the granting of certain rights and privileges to the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad Company, for its proposed new route through Weldon. Mr. George C. Green appeared before the board for the A. C. Line railroad company, and city attorney W. E. Daniel was present to advise the board. Maps, drawings and plans for the pro posed new route were submitted and by unanimous vote they were adopted. Work on grading and track lay ing began at Garysburg Saturday and is being pushed towardRoanoke river. Just as soon as the road gets its double track to the river work will begin on the long steel bridge. We learn that plans have been prepared for a very handsome un ion depot. This is to be construct ed jointly by the Atlantic Coast Line and the Seaboard Air Line, and will be two stories highl with passenger and freight elevators for the transferring of baggage, ex press, and passengers from the Seaboard Air Line to the Atlantic Coast Line. In the building will be offices and rooms for mails, baggage, express and every conve nience. In fact it will be an up-to-date passenger station.
