The origin of ihe Are ia a myatery
though It is believed that the man who

drunken condition. The man'* name
was Kimbrough. a colored mm, and
waa a barber in Lang's ahop; he had
been drinking heavily throughout the
day Sunday and wai almoat heloleaa
when he went into Ihe ahop at niirbt.
He made a heroic effort to get out of
the building and h.d carriod all hia
clothin* from the rear of the building
to the froit door where it ia believed
he waa suffocated by the fl.imes when
almoat out of reach of the fire, but he
waa unable to get the door open and
escape.
Tho building was almost completely
burned down and everything inaide is
a total loss with no insurance on either
the building or contents.
Some one reported that nbots were
fired started and was for awhile be
lieved that Kimbrough had been mur-
dered wkI the fire set to cover up the
crime, but a coroner's inquest failed to
•bow ny marks of violence on deceaa-

THE EDITOR ON DUTY.
'Moat anyone can be a editor. Allan
alitor haa to do ia to sit at his desk six
daya in the week, four weeka of the
month arid 12 montha of the year and
edit such stuff as thia:
"Mra. Jones of Loat Creek let a can
opener slip laat week and cut herself
in the pantry."
'A mischievous lad of Marathon
threw a stone and atruck a companion
in the alley last Tuesday."
"John Doe climbed on the roof of
his bouse Isat week looking for s leak
snd fell, striking himself on the back ,
porch."
"While Harold Green was escorting
Miss Violet W ise from a church social
Saturday night a savage dog attacked
them and bit Mr. Grven on the public
square "
Isaiah Trimmer of Lebanon was play-
ing with a cat Friday when it scratched
him on the veranda."
'Mr. White while, harnessing a
bronco Saturday waa kicked just south
of the corn crib "
SOCIALIST ACTIVE.
L. B. Irvin addressed s good crowd
at tho court houae Tuesday night. Feb-
ruary 27. Hia subject was "Deca ing
CapitalUm and Growing Socialism."
He showed the gr.wing power and the
decaying weakness of cspitslism, then
the strength snd certainty of socialism.
Ha aaid those is combinations are win-
ners while those in competition are
losers. He compared the p ice fixing
system now with the price fixing sys-
tem under socialism. Some of the ad-
herents say that this was the most in-
structive lecture evor given In Clare-
more and that some points in the aoclal-
iat philosophy were made plainer to
them than ever before. His way of
presentirg the subject is certainly orig-
inal, unique ar< runvincirg A disbe-
liever in sclialism said it Is apparently
feasible, but certainly dangerous, yet
after all it is a treat to listen to a think-
er as Irvin certainly is.
