Oakdale Dots.
Hartshorn, R. F. D, No. 1, Jan. —
We are sorry to lose two of our good
neighbors, Mr. Cary Smith and Mr.j
Lon Smith and their families. Mr.
Cary goes to Kimesville, and Mr.
Lon t^ Liberty. We hope there will
some good families take their place,
for no other class of citizens is v?ant-
ed around Oakdale. We say with all
due respect to other neighborhoods
that “we have the best neighborhood
taking it all in, in all North Carolina,
so people say that iive here and move
away" Almost every one ovras his
own home and he tries to be a good
citizen. There have been a fety cases
in court from Oakdale School Dis
trict No. 1, but the parties always are
from the outside.
On looking through the Blume
-Almanac we find that Mr. Long "or
some one else” in the last leeiflla-
ture gave us 12 courts a year. We
would be glad to have Mr. Long or
some one of his bosses to tell ue
why -we need so many courts. We
suppose it is to give the lawyer?
something to do. That is the way to
reduce taxes, court costs, etc. From
what we have heard of the Hon. Wal
ler Clark could have a few more like
him the lawyer would go to work for
their living like the rest of us.
Christmas and the New Year have
come and gone. Everybody seemed
to eijjoy it very much while it was
1 not raining.

North Wilkesbaro Is Scene of Bad
Fire.
North Wilkesboro, Jan. 3.—Tlie
Southapn Railway station, including
both the freight, passenger and ex
press departments, was destroyed by
-ire about 4 o’clock this morning.
On account of the heavy snow the
fire department was nntible to act as
promptly as it would have otherwise
Jone, and the building was falling in
before the firemen beg»n to play apon
it, so nothing was saved. The ware
house, however ocntained less unde
livered freight than usual.
All the express and office fiirtures
burned. J. L. Clements, the agent,
lost about 1250 personally
Cars at the platform were saved
by negro employes of the railroad who
ran to a switch engine through the
snow in their hare feet and pulled
them out of reach. The glow of the
flames, thrown across the bvoad val
ley, beyond the fair ground-s and on
liie surrounding hills, all covered -with
la blanket of snow, made an impress
ive scene.
