The origin of the fire is not positively known, but is supposed to have l»een caused by rats. It evidently started among the clothing in the rear right baud corner of the building. The fire did not break out of the building aud at no time was any other store in danger of catching fire. While the real damage by fire was not so great, the damage by smoke and water was consider able, the stock from all apj*arances being worthless | The firemen responded prouiply, but were delayed in getting water on the fire. reason of the de lay was that too many were giving orders and those tryitlg to do the work did not know which order to olwy. After getting the stream 011 the fire the wotk was effectual. The damage to the buildiug is about SSOO, which is covered by insurance. There was $3,700 in surance on the stock. —Taffy-Tolu, that's me. Shooting Atfray at Calm Point. Last Monday night there was a shooting affrav at Calui Point. Two negroes, John Henry Boston and Jesse Whitehurst, became en gaged iu a quarrel aud Boston, who ife quite a desparado, was shot by Whitehurst WHO emptied the contents of a 32-calibre revolver in Boston's person. One ball took effect in the left side, two in the leg, one iu the knee and one going through the great toe. Dr. Smith wick removed three of the bullets, the one in the knee and the one in the side could not be located. From the report it seems that Boston was trying to pick a fuss with Whitehurst aud was making threats against him. Whitehurst told him not to touch him, hut Bostou advanced on him threaten ingly, he was told that he would be shot if he did not stop, this did not seeui to stop hiiu, aud as he ad vanced further Whitehurst fired one shot, the one that took effect in the side. This did not stop til* desperate negro, he made the re mark. that tye would touch him any way, aud as he put his hand on Whitehurst the latter emptied the pistol, all five shots taking affect. Bostou is recovering from the shots and it is now thought that he will live. * Whitehurst is still at large, having fled immediately af ter the shooting. —Colgates Violet and Cashmere Boquet Toilet powder 15c value for 15c value. 3.

The Martin County Colored Teachers Association held its final meeting for this season in James ville, N. C. Apr. 12th and 13th. The program for Friday evening was somewhat musical, W. V. Ormand Prill, of Williamston Graded School performed at the instrument, he gave notice that the hour had come for Itegiuiug the program, by playing an "Overture to the Spring" by Greig. The president made some remarks stat ing why th» Association was hold ing its final meeting at Jatnesville, it was the respect they had for him as he was now retiring from active service as - a teacher. There was several interesting papers read, among them wis .the "Spirit of Progress" by Mrs. I„ A. Riddick, and the "Choice of Friends" by Mrs. A. LT. Ortnond The Solo by Mrs. Greene, up lifting with such a beautiful voice as it rung forth with glorious strains the audience was held ]>er fectly quiet to the end, then came forth a swell of applause. The next to appear on the stage willi a Solo was Miss Alice K. Hyman of Williamston, N. C. -"Tin belter to Smile in the Sunshine, Than Count every Cloud in the Sky." the words of that beautiful song ac companied with such a melodious voice, was indeed pleasing to hear. It seemed that every jierson in the audience was enchanted. The last was a Duet by Misses Mollie and Annie Moore of Jatnesville, with their father singing the contralto in the background, produced a pleas ing effect. The good people p.f Jainesville turned out in spite of the bad weather, every one returned home feeling greatlj£i>fnefited. The Teachers assembled Satur day mormug to complete the pro gram, The Chairman read a selec tion from Psalms after which Rev. R. H. Riddick Prin. of Roper Graded School led in a fervent prayer. Every one present seem ed to be filled with inspiration, and was worked up over the meeting. The sad moment came at last, when it was thoroughly announced that Prof. Butler the chairman of the association afldthe oldest teach er in the county would retire from active work' as a public school teacher. He who had done so much and bad worked so earnestly I in the way ot training boys and I V.. • , ..■ . ■ . ' girls to be useful men and women. When Cordon of Jatnesville had s|H)ke of Butler',4"past life, and Ortnond of Williamston, had re vealed the future happiness of Prof. Butler there was a tear in every eye. We regret to lose hint from our ranks, but lie can still council the young teachers, and we trust that many of them will live and lead a life similiar to his. Our County Supt. Prof. R. J. Peel was absent, and we knew it was some indispositicn that pre vented him from being present. Prof. Peel has been so active in these meeting, and labored so ear nestly that the Association ordered the Committee on Resolution to draw up the following. Whereas, We have been so highly helped and uplifted by the f. itliful instructions during these meetings by our County Supt. Prof. R. J. Peel. i Resolved, that we extend him a ' vote of thanks tor his words of in courament. Submitted for vonr considera tion.
