The Tribune regrets having to
chronicle the destruction by tire,
last Saturday at noon, of Mr.
Lovett. Harrell’s dwelling and
smokehouse and the greater por
.ion of their contents, saving only
Lis supply of meat, lard and sy
rup. Mr. Harrell's premises was
just outside the eastern limits of
Pearson. It is reported he lost
$225 in money he had placed in a
trunk only a few' days before.
! There was no insurance. It is
j supposed the fire started from the
! kitchen flue. There had been no
| fire on the place except in the
kitchen stove preparing dinner,
and a fire was in the stove when
the family left the house to at
tend preaching at St. Mary’s Chap
el two or three hundred y'ards
away. The Tribune deeply sym
patbizes with Mr. Harrell in his
loss, and it will take $3,000 or
more to replace the buildings and
furnishings.
PEARSON TUIIiINE, DECT Mi IE I? I\, 11)17
MR. Ea rm eu, wc have farms of
any size with good forms. Small
cash payment, balance eventually.
Dowt.in« & MoNab.
It is understood that the mill of
the Dauglierty-Mclvey Lumber
Company w ill soon be out of tim
ber and will close down its busi
ness here.
Messrs. Oscar Starling and Tharp
Vickers, members of (’apt. Walter
A. Gray’s company of Engineers
at Gamp Wheeler, are at home on
a ten days’ furlough.
Rev. 15. <). Tally, the Methodist
pastor for the ensuing year, and
aunt have arrived and are domici
led at the parsonage. The Tribune
bids them welcome and trust s they
w ill have a pleasant stay in Pear
sou.
The Pearson municipal election
to select three councilmen for a
term of t wo years to succeed J. O.
White, W. M. Corbitt and N. 15.
Harrell, passed off very quietly.
The casual visitor to Pearson
didn’t know that anything out of
the usual order was going on.
There were no announced candi
dates and very little interest man
Rested. J. O. White, J. M. Meeks
and William Smith were elected.
The city is safe for another year.
Next to preaching the gospel to
the soldiers the Tribune considers
the Red Cross relief work the most
important in these distressing war
times, ft is true our people have
contributed handsomely to the
cause once, but the Red Cross is a
good work that requires contribu
tions again and again. Its benefi
cence reaches to all nations to
which it is accessible, and gives re
lief to the sick, wounded and dis
tressed soldiers wherever found
regardless of who, what or hov,-. In
this connection the Tribune an
nounces that Mrs. .1 M. Ashley, of
Douglas, will visit Pearson at an
early date to interest our people,
especially the ladies, in this work,
and trusts she will receive a cor
dial welcome and a liberal re
sponse from all our people. There
are some who cannot contribute
money, but there are ways in
which they can contribute materi
ally to the alleviation of human
suffering which, probably, Mrs.
Ashley will explain to them w hen
she comes.
