Asheville, N. C. 5, 10. Cripple creek is on a rampage today and the French Broad rap idly rising on account of a cloud burst last night. The water is four feet deep at the railroad station. One residence and two stores were washed off, while many other residences were damaged. There has been no loss of life reported. A CITY CLOCK. The need of a clock, tfle face of which can be seen in every sec tion of the city, is evident. The installation of tliis modern im provement would give tone to the municipality. It would not only be a boon to our citiens, but the travelling public as they passed thfough on the cars would notice and set their watches by it. Especially would this be the case at night if the faces of the clock were transparent and light ed by electricity. It would be a beacon to euide many into the safe harbor of the city of High Point. The North Carolina Sav ings Bank and Trust Company s building on the top of the eleva tor shaft would be ail ideal place or the ton of the Redding build ing, the Commercial National liank, in fact any prominent loca tion where it could be seen the best. This creat addition to the more modem appearance of our city should be secured by popular subscription and the Enterprise knows of one party who will sub scribe $25. THE LEXINGTON FIRE. Lexincton is without a hotel al together since the destruction of the Mrash House, Saturday, but the owners of the site are already planning to rebuild. Some of the walls are standing yet, but it is probable this will be torn away and a new building erected. This is the- information that came to the Enterprise this morning. The old hotel was owned by Messrs. C. M. Thompson, W. tl. Ferry and Grimes Ilros., and was worth some $15,000. Insurance to amount of $7,000 was carried. The walls are standing, but it may be that the whole skeleton will have to be razed. The company is like ly to build anew and the town hopes that a more imposing hotel will take the place of the old one. Mrs. M. H. Brown, lessee, of the property, lost everything, but is protected by $2,000 insurance. Mr. W. G. Brown and wife car ried $500 insurance, each, on their personal property. Mrs. Brown and Mr. and Mrs. W. (i. Brown were all at Jackson Springs when the fire occured, having a sum mer cottage there. The Bank of Lexington, which occupies offices in the building, was forced to suspend business for today on account of the water, but the rooms were not damaged by fire, and the vault was not in jured. Monday is a holiday, and by Tuesday the institution will be open for business again. Insur ance to the amount of $800 was carried on the bank fixtures. DEATH OP MRS. BROWN. DEMPSY ; Mrt.'

An audience which packed the large hall to the doors were pres ent yesterday morning to hear Dr. Hill, of Maxton, preach the ser mon at the closing exercises of the school year. The meeting opened with the singing of the familiar hymn, Come Thou Almighty King af ter which Rev. Enos Harvey, pas tor of the Friends church, con tinued the exercises with an elo quent prayer. The choir then sang the authem, Oh, Be Joyful in the Lord, which was followed by the reading of the scripture lesson by Rev. (). L. Powers, pastor of the First Baptist church. The hymn, (), Worship the King, followed, after which Dr. Hill, following a eulogy of Rev. T. L. Siler, pastor of the Presbyterian church, preached a most eloquent sermon, taking for his subject Mary's de votion to Christ. The venerable preacher told the story, taking each separate incident and ex plaining it fully and drawing therefrom the lesson it was meant to teach. He exhorted his young friends, as he called them, to follow the example of Mary of Bethany if they would attain the highest character in this life and the blessing of acceptance into God's family in the life hereafter. The venerable preacher impressed upon his hearers the desirability of imitating the virtues of Mary in her humility, carefumcss, self sacrifice and faith if they would attain the height of heavenly bliss which is promised to those whose lives are patterned after "His in whom there was no gaile." At the close of the sermon the no tices for today's exercises were announced by Professor Howell. and after prayer by Rev. Mr. Thompson, pastor of the M. E. church, the congregation was dis missed with the benediction bv Dr. Hill. The ministers of the city, the school board, the graduating class and the choir occupied seats on the stage.

Judg Connor's appointment will give general satisfaction in the State. EXTENSION OF TELE PHONE SERVICE Bell Telephone Goes to Farmers Farmers throughout North Carolina arc making great prog ress in the matter of utilizing modern conveniences and provid ing their farms with all agencies for the saving of time and money The time is rapidly approaching when every modern farm in North Carolina will be equipped with telephone service so that the farmer will be enabled to not only reach his neighbors and friends but will be in constant communi cation with the market and with the business men in distant points. The Enterprise has from time to time chronicled in its news columns the progress of the tele phone development in this sec lion. This development is higher now than at any time in the past and in progress along this line in dicates that the farmers are awak ening to the value and necessity ot telephone service. Recently a contract has been signed for the connection with the Bell Telephone Exchange here of a rarmers r.xchange, located at Larraway. N. C. About sixty four farmers will have service di reel with High Point and with each other when the work of con t ructing this exchange and the line is completed. Arrangements have been made to connect the line of Thomas A Spencer with the Bell Exchange here. I Ins line will turnish ser vice to the following oarties : Thomas A. Spencer, U. G. Wall, Clavton Davis, George Frazier, M. A. Wall. M. Sumner. The line of Dr. J. D. Bulla will be connected with the Bell Ex change as soon as it is completed. This line will furnish service to the following parties: Dr. J. D. Bulla, R. L. M. Blair, Mr. Elder, Mr. Bouldiu, Mr. Redding. The line of A. B. Coltrane, fur nishing service to six well known parties, will be connected with the Bell Exchange in High Point when it is constructed. The fol lowing parties will receive ser vice on this line: A. B. Coltrane, I. A. English, W. 11. Brewer, Mr. Spencer, Mr. Barker, Mr. Hobbs. The line of D. M. Wellborn will furnish service to four parties, and a contract has been made for its connection with the Bell Ex change as soon as it is completed. Among those who will receive service on this line are the follow ing well known parties: I). M. Wellborn, J. P. Catlett, J. A. Wellborn, J. R. Jordan. A line extending to Fairfield Club furnishing service to Mr. C. A. Barber, and another line fur- nisning service to 1.1. iincli will also be connected with the Bell Exchange. The connection of these farm- crs' telephone lines with High Poiut is equally as important to the merchants and business men of this city as to the farmers. It enables the merchants to reach a desirable class of people who would otherwise be accessible on ly when they visited the city per sonally. It will be only a matter of a short time before this entire section will be connected with rural telephone lines, and each neAv line adds to the commercial importance of High Point and en ables the farmer to reach the en tire world without leaving his home.
