Not long ago the insurance people made a new map of Southern Pines and the map shows just twice as many buildings as its predecessor, made five or six years ago. That indicates a very satisfactory growth; probably a larger increase than most optimistic citizens would have thought. Cn Tuesday morning Rev.

Fortunately a ladder was near, and he was able to reach it, and throw it to the ground,where it burned for half an hour longer. Had it fallen on the high roof which is quite inaccessible, the house would have been seriously damaged if not destroyed. Fire rockets are dangerous playthings. The Camp Fire Girls entertained the Bov Scouts on Saturday evening, July 3. The young ladies gave their guests a luncheon, of their own cooking, of course, and then took them for a picnic at Lake* view. They spent a most delightful even ing at Southern Pines' seashore resort, re turning about 11 o’clock. That’s a much better way to spend the night before the Fourth than the old style “night before.” The Carmans are the peaches that oc cupy the center of the stage just now. Mr. Abraham is said to have the largest and finest crop of peaches that ever grew on his place and the orchard has a record that is hard to beat. Some great crops of splendid peaches were raised in that or chard by Mr. Huttenhauer, the former owner. That a man comparatively new at the business should have kept the or chard to its hishest level is significant. By way of celebrating the glorious Fourth, a tournament was held at the Country Qtd> on Monday afternoon. Eight players entered, and despite threatning weather with some rain, had a pleasurable game. They were: J. S. Huntress, L. E. Grover. A. C. Grover, W. P. Allen, R. E. Wiley, C. L. Hayes, F. B. Bloomer and H. Rush The winners were A. C. Grover and F. B. Bloomer who tied for first and second prizes with a score of 49 each for the nine holes. Thirty six automobiles stood in front of the Princess on Tuesday night, all but two or three from out of town. Nearly every town in the Sandhills was represented. there being 18 from Raeford, 22 miloa distant. It was a great crowd that Mary Pickford drew but every night's offering at the Princess is almost as good. Of course some pictures are better than others but nearly all are really fine. It is only at rate intervals that a poor picture comes along. The Fourth of July has come and gone but the great day made very little noise in Southern Pines. The flags were out, the stores were shut in the afternoon and there were a few firecrackers let off. The order was good all day and there was no drunk enness to be seen on the streets. The police officers had very little to do but they were there, ready to act if occasion called. Two recent deaths had thrown a pall of sadness over the community and the wide spread sense of sorrow had something to do with the unusual quiet of the day. _ Card of Thanks To our friends and neighbors: We wish to thank you all for the many kindnesses and love shown us during Evelyn’s sick ness and in connection with her death. Mr. and Mrl. J. N. Powell and Family. A “Floating Village” In Paris a number of old barges on the Seine house hundreds of Belgian *and French refugees; one man pays the cost.
