The Jury was composed of
representative men from all
parts of the county, and bv th«ir
prompt attendance ereatlv aided
the curt in the dispatch of busi-
ness.
Favorable comment is heard
upon the rapidity with which
the business of the court was
transacted.
Sons store was a mass ■>!' flames.
From this store the ti -oread
rapidily in three directions; go-
ing east and consuming the
Duke Drug store. McKibbin's
Pool Hall and the two-story
McCauley building; across the
street south and consuming the
City Barber Shop and Gilliams
grocery store; \vest and consum-
ing Darby Bros, cash store, the
Post Office, and the building in
which were located the Duke
State Bank, Holler & Render's
Real Estate and Insurance office
and the Duke Tines.
The big Kouri building was
several times thought to be on
fire and it was only by heroic
work it was saved. The saving
of this building helped to save
possibly a doaen other buildings,
had it caught the entire west
side of the town would have been
in danger. TheMcKibbin build-
ing, across the street south of
the bank building caught fire,
but was saved before the fl ime
had gotten much headway
Wilson's Furniture Store caught
fire on the roof several times,
but wa* saved by the tearing off
of shingles.

$40,000 Fire in Duke.
At fcbout four o'clock Weinps-
dav morninethA people of Pukp
were awakened by the cries of
"Firp." Before the first pernio
had arrived on^thp_s-^ene f
Pool & Sons suffered a loss of
about $8,000 with $2,000 insur
ance; Darbv Bros., $7,000 with
about $2,000 insurance; the pool
hall, $1,000 with $600 insurance;
tne Duke Drug store, $1,500
with $1,500 insurance; the Mc-
Cauley building was a complete
loss of $3,500 without any in
surance; Gilliams grocery store
and building were a omplete
loss; Hardie Carter sa { some
0f bis barber tools. ut lost
heaviVv- We understand, how-
ever, th^t he has some insur
ance. The bank building, cost
ing about $5,000 was only partly i
covered by insurance. Most of I
the bank fixtures were saved
Holler & Render were fortu i it ?
in saving most of office furniture
The Duke Times was also a
heavy loser. Only a ^r cut
tor and some type we - ved.
\ conservative estimate places
the loss at $45,000 with about $1*,
000 insurance This it t> e
w.-rnt tir^tla* Dafce ha* ei
mite a
blow to the town.
The cause of tne fire is un-
known It is thought by many
that it was caused by mice biting
matches. Othe s think that it
was caused by some careless per
son throwing a lighted ",igar or
cigarette in the alley, in a pile of,
paper. But tnis is all specula-
tion. The real cau of the fire
will never be known.
It is not expected that the i
burned buildings will be re-
placed on the now vacant lots.
The town has been considering
the proposition of the Town nte
company to move £ mile east,
and the supposition is, that sev
eral brick buildings will soon go
up on the new townsite.
At the Methodist Church.
The Methodist Sunday School
has reason to be satisfied with
its progress. Every Sunday
brings new pupils, and all seem
to take a keen interest in the
growth of the different classes.
Last Sunday we had 123 pupils
present, of which number we
are very proud.
The sermon iu the morning
was listened to by a large and
appreciative audience; the sub-
ject being "'The God that man
needs." Rev. Savage impressed
his listeners very much by the
sincerity and earnestness with
which he discussed the text.
Two new members were added
to the rapidly growing list.
The Epworth League is in-
creasing in numbers, and all
seem to be anxious the new
mempers are made to feel at
home. Judge King gave an in-
teresting talk on the following
subject, "To have a conscience
void of offence, should the Chris-
tian maintain fidelity to his con-
victions."
It is with a feeling of pride
that we may say, with truthfull-
ness, that our cnoir is growing
larger, and a very deep interest
seems to be taken in this very
necessary feature of church
work. We hope that every mem-
ber will feel that it will be his or
her duty to attend choir practice
every Tuesday night.
Rev. Savage preached a very
foicible sermon Sunday night.
We are glad to see so much in-
terest manifested this year in
the work of our little church and
we feel sure that by the time
1911 rolls around, that wo will
have good reason to be proud of
everv individual member.—Re
porter.
