A Granville county farmer, Mr. J
P.Thomas, who lives five miles from

NARROWLY ESCAPE BIG FIRE.
Basement of Baird & Chamblee Partly
Burned Wednesday Morning.
Mr. Eugene Lewellyn. who sleeps
on the second floor of Balrd & Cham
blee'e hardware store, was awaken
ed Wednesday morning about 1:30
o'clock and found himself fighting for
breath In a dense smoke as the whole
buliding was full. Hegroped his way
down stairs and found the basement
was on fire and the heat Intense. He
then rushed to the Mayor's office and
gave the alarm and the fire Dell soou
had the Fire Companies and a large
number of citizens on the spot.
An old fireman, Mr. R. M. Smith, of
KiDgton, N. Y., bappensd to be at
the Irwin Hotel and joined the
firemen-and led the way Into the base
ment amid heat and smoke with the
aid of a lantern, and found that the
fire had gone out on Its own accord
as luck would have It as It had no
yentliatlon. The smoke was sicken
ing and It was. difficult for one- to
breathe Inside the building until the
windows were opened. By someun
accountable means the fire had star
ted among the oil barrels and cans
destroying a large number of gallons
and breaking up a quantity of glass
and crockery ware. Some of tbe
sleepers and the floor of store room
were badly charred.
It was a narrow escape from a se
rious fire and It was fortunate that
there happened to be no ventilation,
as In ail probability our highly es
teemed young friend Lewellyn would
have lost his life as there was stored
In the building powder and dynamite
and possibly many others Injured.
The loss Is estimated at $1,000.
Another Runaway Marriage.
Mr. Huuter Wagstaff, of Sklpwlth.
and Mis Hattle Clayton, of Chase
City, Va.,escaped the vigilance of pa
rents and arrived in Oxford Saturday
afternoon at 5:20 o'clock over South-
rn road and stopped at the Ex
change Hotel. As the license had
been secured several days before after
a few preparations Rev. F. M. Sham-
burger was sent for and made them
twain In the presence of a few people
who bad gathered in the parlor to
witness the marriage of the nice look
lngcoup!e. Mr. and Mrs. Wagstaff
returned to their home uextmornlng
at Sklpwlth.
Bless Man of Cheer.
The following, credited to "Un
known," Is too good to be lost: We
love the man with the rose on his
tongue, the. man who sees the boy's
dirty face but mentions his bright
eyes, who notices your shabby cos t)
but praises your studious habits, the
man who sees all faults but who is
quick to praise, slow to blame. We
like to see a man whose smile will
brighten up deadness, whose voice is
full of music of the blrds.whose hand
shake Is an inspiration and his God
bless you a benediction. He makes
us forget our troubles as the raven s
dismal croak Is forgotten when tbe
wood thrush sings. God bless the
man of cheer. There Is plenty of
trouble here and we need not Increase
t. There Is a lot of dying done ahead
of time.
Editor Commits Suicide.
We learn with sorrow that our
young friend, Clarence D. Wilkle, a
wel known newspaper man and.
editor of the Rutherfordton Sun, of
which he was founder, committed
suicide Saturday night at his home
in that town by shooting himself
through the right temple with a 32
calibre Smith & Wesson pistol. Re
verses in business Is said to be the
cause of the deed. He was a bright
energetic young man of only 29 years
of age and leaves a grief stricken wife
and two small children to wbom we
extend our heartfelt sympathies.
Some years ago Mr. Wilkle spent
several months in Oxford, as he as
sisted Col. Tipton In publishing a
campaign paper In our town and Is
no doubt remembered by some of our
people.
Christian Unity.
Christian unity springs from. the
new nature In which men are born to
a new divine life. It springs from the
unity that dwells in God Himself, and
as they become Increasingly divine
they become Increasingly fraternal.
It proceeds from pure hearts and true
lives and there is no other unity but
what proceeds from these. It Is an
Internal unity, working from the
center within to the clrcumferance
without. It. will come Informally
and unofficially, rather than formally
and officially.
When mens hearts and motives and
actions have become truly and
thoroughly Chrlstian.then unity will
follow as a natural consequence.
There Is fellowship In love, and truth
and righteousness, because they are
fruits of the same divine spirit. There
Is no one who Is a light for God who
shines alone, no one who works for
Him works alone, no one living for
Him lives alone.
Doing your duty truly In your own
sphere, you will realize as time pro
gresses. the great hosts of God rally
lng to your side, fellow soldiers, fel
low workers, fellow travelers and
fellow citizens of the Kingdom of God

'HE SWEETLY SLEEPS.
Mr. B D. Howard, one of Granville's
Best Citizens Is Numbered With
The Blest.
Mr. D. B. Howard, one of the most
highly respected and best men In
Granville died at his home near Tar
River Academy Monday morning af
ter a long illness. The primary cause
of his death was paralysis, and his
passing away had been hourly look
ed for by his family and close friends
for several days.
Tbe funeral was conducted at Mt.
Zion Baptist church Tuesday after
noon at 2 o'clock, of which he was a
devoted and zealous member, having
connected himself with this denomi
nation when he was quite" a young
man - Dr. R. H. Marsh conducted a
most Impressive service, the church
being filled with a large congrega
tion of neighbors and friends all feel
ing In their hearts that the occasion
marked the passing of one of the no
blest and best men that they had ever
known. One who left a heritage
gratt r than that of any man who
put his life's work In the collection of
dollars. It seemed so natural for
him to be good, gentle and kind, and
raust have In his battle of life gained
a perfect mastery over sin.
After the services by Dr. Marsh the
Masons, of which order our beloved
friend was an h nored member, took
charge of the remains and performed
the last sad rites over their dear
brother and left him to sleep the
sleep of death until tbe Captain of his
Salvation shall call him on the re
surrection mourn.
The editor believes when the Invis
ible Reaper came this time hU sickle
of death was searching for the ripest
and readiest In the county and found
Its object as few lived a more correct
life than did "Uncle" Dyer Howard.
His sunpy smile never faded, his even
temper was always placid, his cheery
greeting was always sincere. He
loved all good things and all good
people, but In his heart his God and
His church ruled supreme and was
alwajs ready to help spread the gos
pel. He was a zealous Sunday School
worker.
He was broad-minded, libcral.klnd
hearted loved his kind and was
never so happy as when doing his
fellows a service, and bore nomalace
In his great kindly heart.
Our dear old friend was 74 yeurs of
of age and leaves behind dear wife
and children to mourn his death. The
children are: Sheriff E. K, Howard,
Messrs. E. A. and Perry Howard, of
Willow Springs, J. C. Howard, of
"itW.and W W. Howard, Mrs. Cbas.
Wilson, of Roxboro, Mrs. W. H. Bla-
lock and Miss Bessie Howard, and
Mrs. B. F. Hester.
The following brothers and sisters:
Mr. S. L. Howard, of the county;
Capt, Curie Howard, of Atlanta, Ga.,
Mrs. I. M. Reames. of Durham, and"
Mrs. W. B. Mann, of Raleigh, May
the God beloved so faithfully and
well sustain all the loved ones In the
hour of sorrow.
The pall bearers were: Messrs: W.
A. McFarland, R. W. Hobgood, S.
S. M. Wheeler, Walter Hobgood, A.
A. Hicks, S. C. Hobgood and Sam
Jones, and the Undertaker was Mr.
J. Robt. Wood, of Oxford.
The editor can truthuily say that
a useful ana public spirited citizen,
an honest man whose every purpose
was to be just and fair to his fellows,
a loyal friend, a good neighbor and a
genial, kindly man has passed to his
reward. A gentleman and a Chris
tian, he so lived
That when the summons came to
join
That innumerable caravan which
moves
To that mysterious realm where each
must take
His chamber in the silent halls Of
death,
He went not like the quarry slave at
night,
Scourged to his dungeon; but, sus
tained and soothed
Bp an unfaltering trust, approached
his grave
Like one who wraps the drapery of
his his couch
About him and lies down to pleasant
dreams.
Efficacy Plus Prayer.
Ethel, one of New Hampshire's
seven-year old daughters, Is devoted
to the birds. She was enraged at
her older brother, whose keenest en
joyment seemed to be to trap them.
She pleaded with him and scolded
him, but all to no effect. So Ethel
took a new tack.
When prayer time came the other
evening her mother heard this final
petition added to those which dealt
with the spiritual and material wel
fare of tbe family: "An', dear God,
please smash all Willie's nasty traps,
for Jesus' sake, Amen."
"Ethel, dear," said mother.serlous
iy, "do you really think that lastlsa
nice thing to ask God to do? Do
you expect Him to do such a thing
as that?"-
Ethel smiled beamingly and an
swered: "Oh, that'll be all right,
muzzer. Jes before I corned upstairs
I smashed 'em all my own self."

Success.
Some time ago a Boston firm offered
a prize of $240 for the best answer:
"What Constitutes Succees?" The
prize was won by Mrs. A. J.Stanley,
of Lincoln, Kan., who thus defined
success:
He has achieved success who has
lived well, laughed often and loved
much: who has gained the respect of
Intelligent men and the love of little
children: who has filled Is niche and
accomplished his task; who has left
the world better than he found It,
whether by an Improved poppy.a
perfect poem or a rescued soul; who
has never lacked appreciation of
earth's beauty or failed to express It;
who has always looked for the best
In others and given the best he had;
whose life was an Inspiration; whose
memory a benediction.
In Its way, this is as good as Robt
Louis Stephen's "creed. It is re
freshing to be able to turn from the
worm 8 laise standard or success
money, to the Inspiration of so true
and wholesome a definition of the
soul quality that every honest man
Is striving for.
Success Is not material prosperity
and power, but the development to
their full depth of the spiritual qual
ity that God has placed as a human
izing germ In the breast of every hu
man belog. He has not lived who
dies without having lived unselfishly
and with tbe Ideal of human good an
alter fire In his breast. Atlanta Con

time in tbe village where I resided,
nearly everyone being sick with it.
Onr doctors treated it as best they could,
bat were very unsuccessful in the treat
ment of it. As soon as my family were
taken sick I went to the drugstore and
bought six bottles of Pe-ru-na, and we
all took it according to the directions
given on the bottle ; and although our
cases seemed to be more than usually
violent in the outset, yet our recovery
was prompt, and we were all well much
sooner than those who were treated by
the regular physicians.
Many people died of this la grippe dur
ing this epidemic, and few if any, were
elck so short a time as myself and
family. After we were all well we had
one bottle of Pe-ru-na left.

A WOBD ABOUT THE EYES
Examination Free.
There are numbers of people suf
fering with headache and they are
using one remedy after another but
none of them give the desired re
lief. Oh! they wonder why it is
they cannot be relieved? "Others
look cheerful and happy." Yes and
you may be as cheerful and free
from suffering as any one. "How
may I?" Well lets see, did you
ever stop and think possibly it is
your eyes that is causing so much
headache? You know howf strained
and tired they feel. And yet say
I don't want to wear glasses if I
can help it. If you are having such
trouble as this the time has come
when you can't help it and if you
are only ten years old.
Call at our place and let us prove
this. Satistaction guaranted or
