has been observed that on dark,
rainy mornings the current is kept
on the wires for quite a little while
after day light. This is appreciated
by these who have the service in
their homes, for most people have
no lamps to speak of atter they take
electric lights. The Commonwealth

for all their patrons in town.

Just try this simple home made

Druggists in this town and vicinity,
when shown the prescription, stated
that they can either supply these in

they will compound the mixture for

Christmas Collection.
Jaraes-Landin.
On Thursday evening December
26, at the home of tho bride Mrs.
Emma Landen was married to Mr.
H. L. James, Elder W. B. Strickland
performing the ceremony. It was
a quiet marriage with some friends

There were Christmas services at
the Baptist church on Christmas
evening. A special musical program
had been arranged. A quartet com
posed of Misses Katharine Futrell
and Emily Biggs and Messrs. J. B.
Futrell and C. A. Webb rendered
"Tho' Your Sins Be As Scarlet" and
Miss Emily Biggs also rendered a
solo "Chrismas Song." At the close
of the sermon by pastor Lumpkin a
collection was taken for the benefit
of th? Baptist Orphanage at Thom
asvi'.le. The collection amounted
to $101.55. This was added to ?!50
already raised by the Ladies' Aid
Society and a personal pledge of
another $150 which makes $401.55
of the $500 which the ladies of the
church propose to raise for the new
infirmary building at the Orphanage
as a memorial to Mrs. J. D. Ilufham.
In presenting the matter and asking
for the collection Mr. Lumpkin
spoke feelingly and tenderly of Ir.
and Mrs. Ilufham and the great and
noble work they did for this com
munity during Dr. Hufham's fifteen
years' pastorate here.
Barn Hume With 130 Bsrrsls o! Ccru.
About 7 o'clock Tuesday night,
Dec. 24th, the barn on Mr. R. E.
Hancock's farm near Roanoke river
was burned with 100 barrels of com
and farming implements. The barn
was the loss of Mr. R. E. Hancock
but the corn was the loss of Messrs.
W. T. Hancock and M. W. Perry
who are partners in renting tho
farm. It is thought that the fire
was the work of sn incendary,
but there is nothing certain about
it further than suspicion. It is a
serious loss and the friends of thc?e
gentlemen keenly sympathize with
them.
i
Christmas day consisted of the regu-
ar Morning Service with the Les
sons and Psalnas selected for the day
and a short sermon on "The glad

This season's Yule-tide sales have in reality been al
most phenomenal, reaching the highest expectations
of friends and customers. The patrons of this store
were provided for as never before, and the prevailing
customary close marginal prices commanded the at
tention of the buying public and at once induced
purchasers. Good cheer pervaded every department,
and our co-workers, elated with the magnificent suc
cess which has crowned their every effort, now turn
their undivided attention to "clearing the decks" and
"paving the way" for a prosperous New Year's busi
ness. To effect this, many left-overs, Remnants, and
odd lots of Winter Merchandise will be brought to
the front, placed on tables easily accessible, on which
liberal price-concessions will be made to effect . clean
sweeping sales within a limited time, to-wit: The
Month of January. There is some fine picking in
the lot, and a word to the wise is quite sufficient.
