Fire near Plymouth. hile at
Plymouth last Friday we learned that
on the night before Mr. John Ambrose
who lived 4 miles from Plymouth had
the mistortune to lose his houee and

and children from the flames. It was
sunnosed that the fire came from

genuoman who lived in Scotland Xeck
two years ago visited the town recently
and after looking around he said he be

ous than he had ever seen it. "And
thereby hangs a tale." Our people
have not given up the fight lor
progress, notwithstanding money has
been scarce and times have been hard.
We have pushed ahead and now when
general prosperity returns we will be
already on the move and not have to
lose time "getting up steam."

Macnair's Blood and
Parmele, Plymouth and Politics.
The editor of The Democrat ran
down the road a dav hist week. Tar-
- j
mele is perhaps the most wonderful
town in Eastern Carolina. Five years
ago no one who rode on the cars from
Rocky Mount to Williamston would
ever have dreamed that the croaking
of frogs in the swamp midway between
Bethel and Robersonyille was the pre
lude to the hum of machinery and mer
riment of a town club. But such was
the case. The Parmele-Eccleson Lum
ber Company now flourishes there, the
waste place has begun to blossom, the
croak of the frogs has been silenced by
the hum of machinery and the crack
of the hammer and the town has a
nlensnre. club. Let no one say that
I have used Macnair's Blood and town building is impossible anywhere.
Plymouth is the same good-natured
old town it has been for a long time.
Several new buildings indicate prog
ress and the people there, like elsewhere
in the State, hope for good business
this fall.
The political situation in those coun
ties begins to grow interesting, lhere
