YVhat is Christianity ? It is
not long sermons, long prayers
nor attendance upon divine wor¬
ship. It is not paying money
into the church nor subscribing
to foreign missionary work. It
is visiting the fatherless and the
widows; taking the fallen by
the hand and lifting him up;
speaking kiudly to the unfortu¬
nate and sad ; bestowing charity
among the needy in your midst,
and dwelling with your breth¬
ren iu unity. It is the life of
the Soil lived again iu eacli in¬
dividual, If this is not Ch.isti
anity, then where is there any
record that there is any such
thing oil earth ?

Thursday night just after IU
o’clock we heard an explosion
and light flashed into our win¬
dow. The a ore of M r. G. L Ken
noil was ablaze and soon i he res¬
idence in which Hr. F< r 11 Lv ?d
was on fire. These being wood¬
en structures the fire made rap¬
id headway. Soon many of til
citizens were on the ground and
went heroically to work, stop
ping the progress of the flames
by pulling away one side of the
Farnll house and by the use of
water on the roofs of the houses
within reach. The store house
and residence were soon destroy¬
ed. We understand that the
loss to M is. Harper, who owned
the buildings, is six or seven
hundred dollars, and that Mr.
Kennon’s stock of goods, which
was entirely destroyed, was vaL
ued at about eight hundred dol
There vvai no insurance on any
of the propei ty destroyed.
Mr. Farnll and family, who
occupied the dwelling, saved all
the furniture, clothing, etc., ex¬
cept about twenty dollars’worth,
including the stove, which was
so injured as to be of no service.
The fire was unfortunate for
the sufferers, yet it was exceed¬
ing fortunate that the flames
were checked so early as not to
take in the stables and other
buildings adjacent.
A good hook and ladder com¬
pany would cost the city but a
small amount, yet would be of
much service on occasions like
that Thursday night
Having lost my entire stock
of goods by the fire Thursday
night, any contributions from
my friends will be greatly ap
predated. I have been in Con¬
yers 13 years, and have always
responded cheerfully to calls for
aid. G. L. KCNN’ox.

MORE THAN PRETTY.
To simply say our lines of
Fall Dress Goods pretty .
are is
not doing them justice. They
are more than pretty—dainty
and sensible novelties that
bine style, wear and satisfaction,
After all, what more does any
woman want in Dress
than style, wear, satisfaction?

are a short road to wealth, and
this is the road I 'm traveling,
And highly satisfactory results
are following—
My sales for the first half
of October realized my ex=

I am flattered at the result,
