Excavation is being made for the erection of a 2-story brick building on Broad street on the lot adjoining H.M. Johnson’s pressing club and shoe repair shop, with Mr. Matthew Culbreth of Fayetteville as owner, while on the adjoining lots, between this and L.S. Britt & co.’s store, three other brick buildings are being planned. The adjoining one to Culbreth will be occupied by Nance & McCormick, while the other two will be under ownership of J.C.

The burning of Thompson hospital of Lumberton was learned with regret by numerous friends over the country. Having spent several weeks there during an operation prior to its beloved founder’s death, I, too, felt a pang of sadness in the loss of the old building. Miss Ruth Caddell, one of our St. Paul girls who was in training here, returned last night to her home here, where she will remain until further arrangements are made. She is a daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C.J. Caddell, who went over for her last evening. A girl friend, a Miss Leath of near Nichols, S.C., who entered training about the time Miss Caddell did, accompanied her to St. Paul for a brief visit before her return to Nichols. Those connected in any way with the institution have the sympathy of their numerous friends in the misfortune which has so suddenly enveloped them.
