J Young, our leading colored black smith, who lives near the Southern depot, was discovered on fire. The alarm was given and the fire corns pany, along with a large number of citizens, responded promptly: The stables were to near consumed to save, and the Fireman turned their attention to saving the large brick nrize house of Mr. W. C. Reed which caught on the eaves and roof several times. The new hie engine again proved a winner,, as Chief Day swung himself out of a window on the third floor held bv the legs, and with the nozzle in hand, soon had the blaze under the eaves of the house extin guished. It took quick work and the Oxford people again fully sus tained their reputation as fire fightei. Young had $100 insurance on his stables and contents, and we wonder if the insurance men will be able to adjust the damages, as it seems they are making it a business to keep from paying losses in Oxtord it we have to judge by the actions of paid adjusters. We advise our people to forthwith cancel their policies in these com panies, for if they should happen to eret burned out the insurance com panies would resort to every means possible to keep from paying the damages as they haye in the case of Paris Bros. We also expect they are tiying to shirk out paying the damages to the store room. There is no use in pulling hard earned cash out of your pocket to pay for insu rance when there is no prospects of getting only a pittance back in case of a fire, unless you actually force it out of them by law, which we believe in doiner.

Winston, of Durham. Mrs. Martha Winston, relict of the late Patrick H. Winston, passed away Sunday morning about 6:30 o'clock, at Windsor, Bertie county. Deceased was 74 years of age last Friday. Acute indigestion is thouerht to have been the cause of death. Five children are left behind, viz : Hon. P. H. Winston, of Seattle. Wash., Attorney General of the State of Washington: Dr. Geo. T. Winston, president of the University of Texas, Austin, Texas; Hon. Fran cis D. Winston, of Bertie, a member of the North Carolina Legislature; Judge R. W. Winston, Durham, formerly on the Superior Court bench, but now of the well known law firm of Winston & Fuller; and Mrs, F. S. Spruill, of Louisburg, wife of a well known and prominent lawyer of North Carolina. In the death of Mrs. Winston, the State loses one of its best and most lovable Christian women. She had a large and loving heart, a magnani mous soul whose supreme kindness made her always attentive to others, solicitous to their comforts and hap piness, and responsive to their wants. The predominating traits of her char acter were modesty, kindness, gen tleness and goodness, and these blended in her life like the red and white in the heart of a flower, and and won for her the admiration, re spect and love of all who knew her. The going out of such a life is like the setting of the sun on a cloudless day; it leaves behind it a flood of light that gilds the sad and dark present with comfort and the future with hope. Such lives do not end with death, but survive and live on embraced in th floral sheets of beauty, preserved in the pearly tears of fond hearts and memories, and forever wear the coronet of duty well done immortality. At the bar of God, her soul, pure as the light and bright as a star, stands justified and crowned. To each of the bereaved children and other relatives the tendered sympathy is extended. Durham Sun.
