The congregation at the Lutheran church were very much surprised yesterday morning, after the singing of the first hymn, when Miss Margaret Fisher came up the aisle on the arm of Mr. Frank Barrier. Rev. J. P. Miller performed the ceremony that made them one, almost before many in the congregation could realize the truth of what their eyes beheld. Miss Fisher is the daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Chas. H. Fisher on North Main street. Mr. Barrier holds a responsible position in the Southern Railway shops at Spencer, where Mr. and Mrs. Barrier will make their home in the future.

DESTRUCTIVE FIRE IN NO. 9
Dweling [sic] House, Barn and Outbuildings on the Plantation of the Late Madison Tucker Totally Wiped Out Today at 11 O’clock – Home Occupied by F. A. Barrier, who Lost all Household Goods and Everything Except One Wagon. – Origin Unknown.

A telephone message from Cold Springs at 1 o’clock today stated that a destructive fire occurred near that place on the plantation of the late Madison Tucker today at 11 o’clock, when the dwelling house, barn and other outbuildings were totally destroyed, together with their contents, nothing having been saved but a wagon, which stood out from the buildings some distance. The origin of the fire is unknown, and it is thought that there was no insurance on anything, either buildings or their contents. The home was occupied by Mr. F. A. Barrier, who was working in a field some distance from the house. Mrs. Barrier had gone to Mt. Pleasant to attend commencement exercises, and there was no one at the house. The great volume of smoke and the leaping flames attracted the attention of Mr. Barrier and he fled from the field to the house as quickly as he could, but was unable to save anything. The neighborhood had gathered by that time, but too late to save anything. The house and property belongs to the widow and heirs of the late Madison Tucker, and theirs is a total loss as well as Mr. Barrier, who had just taken the property in hand.

CABARRUS COUNTY: F. A. Barnhardt, Concord, Route 3, has been very fortunate with his broilers this season. At present he has 295 out of 300 bought seven weeks ago. They will weigh an average of two pounds at present.

Mrs. F. A. Barrier, Concord, Route 3, has a record just as good with her three-weeks-old chicks. Mrs. Barrier had 310 chicks to begin with and has lost only 2 during this three weeks period.

Both Mr. Barnhardt and Mrs. Barrier find a ready market for their broilers in Concord. They find it profitable to make use of their brooder houses before they are needed for layers. It is also a good way to use their time profitably while other farm jobs are scarce. – W. H. Williams, Assistant Agent.
