Pool, a worthy and prosperous farmer in lower Pas quotank county, had his residence entirely consumed by fire on Monday night. He camo home after night, built up a large fire, went in to sup per, and after supper, hearing the cry of fire, went out and found the fire issuing from the roof of his house. It had made such progress that it could not be arrested. He supposes tho firo originated from a spark from" the chimney. Hardly anything in the upper story was saved.

We would cross a lance with him on some cf his positions as to the future policy of the Magazine, but as he has not yet tarried very long in Jericho. we will stand with lance at rest The Times says : "The University Magazine has been revived and has already made its appearance before the public. "It is edited by Mr. S. S. Lamb, and Mr. W. S.- Wilson is business manager. . "The Magazine is filled with inter esting matter -and doubtless, in a short time, it will take the position it has always held in the front ranks of college magazines in this country, "Mr. Lamb, the editor in chief, Jast year was afthe head of the Tar heel, the weekly published by the University Students, and to him is due. most ct the credit for its rc -establishment i Undoubtedly he will make it a great success in every phase of its life.

Harrell, in the lower part of this county, and while there stated that the Church of Latter Day Saints was turning their attention to North Carolina as a good field' for missionary work, and that they 'proposed to send two elders of the! Church in every county in the State, to propagate the tenets of their church. Since then we learn that two of J the same elders have made their appearance in Currituck county and are making an aggressive campaign for . their faith. Now, these elders 'of the Church cf the Latter DaysJ are the Mormon Elders of the olden times, whose reputation was so unsavory that they were re garded as a 'nuisance so disgusting to. our people that -they made a short lay and a j hasty retreat Our Sa viour warned : us that false Christs and false prophets would arise and would deceive many, and we think it is enumerated among the signs of the Advent; 'Now, it does seem as if that time'of which Christ spoke is now at hand, for there never was in the history pf the christian religion, so many abandoning the old and es tablished paths of religion and set ting up new faiths, new principles, new practices, under the name of Christ Christ warns us to take heed lest we be deceived. And it is our duty to take heed and not follow the prophets who wear the livery of hea ven as a guise to serve anti-Christ to better pnrpOse. We take our stand against Sanctified bands, Mormon elders and' tramp preachers, and cling to the pillars to which the Apos tles and Prophets clung.

Our dear old editor passed his 84th milestone on hi3 journey of life since our last issue, and while he is too mpdest to say what should be said on 'the occasion, and this local scrawl is unable to say all the kind things that might be said, yet-ve take our pen in hand to tell the readers of the Economist about it. At 84 vears our dear old editor goes to h:s daily, task with the joy and contentment of youth. Day after dav, through sunshine and rain, with his crutch under his arm, he stumps to the office and back twice, a doy, and holds. daily receptions, at which not only his friends call for pleasure and companionship) but' strangers in quest of informa tion or ' with an idle half hour at their dispcsal, find their way to his sanctum and are received with a warm and cheery welcome. With his work, as seen in the columns of the Economist, all its readers are familiar, but little is known, outside his horn people, how bright, cheer ful and' contented is this noble old man, resting easy in his faith in' God. With a body free from vice, and a mind pure j and unstained with evil, he does not wait for the summon?, but takes up his daily duties and performs them with a vigor and " pleasure that bodes no evil. ' God bless the old man. That he may jlive1 to give! the blessing of his influence to his many friends for a store of years to come, is the hearty wish of the boys in our office, and we know it is echoed by hun dreds of hearts; of people in our dear old State, j 1 Many thanks for these kind and unexpected words of compliment 'I' '" s mm WE iA&Ailir .-GREEK YOU WITH OUR ANNUAL eivs 51 a s TO CURE A COLO IN OWE DAY. .
