Gentlewoman: Saturday 16th April 1898

“Job Hildreth” by Mrs. E. F. Pinsent (Arnold), is a pathetic and interesting study of a man, a carpenter by profession, with an intense love of beauty and a certain taste for art. This appreciation he unluckily confounds with genius, and is encouraged in the idea by Lady Elizabeth Hinton, the chief personage in his village. Lady Elizabeth sends him up to London, introduces him and his pictures to her friends, and helps him on to a certain fictitious success, holding him up as a great example of self-taught genius. When, however, besides patronising him as an artist, she tries to arrange a marriage between him and another of her protegees, he kicks over the traces, returns to his country home, and marries the little village girl who has loved him since the days when they were children together. The rest of the story is simply and pathetically told. How Job no longer gets a sale for his pictures, how his wife Sally works day and night to keep the little home together, until at last by poverty and despair he becomes temporarily insane, is all described forcibly, such allegories, and is well illustrated by Bauerle.

Totnes Weekly Times: Saturday: Saturday 9th April 1898

Fire at Teignmouth: At the Ship Inn, Queen-street, on Tuesday morning, a fire broke out and destroyed the interior of the building. Mr. J. Evans, the landlord, retired to rest just after 11 o’clock and two hours later his wife was aroused by the smell of smoke. Mr. Evans went downstairs and found the woodwork of the bar on fire. He seized a bucket and ran to the river to get water, but when he returned the flames were entirely beyond control. His wife and daughter had in the meantime been rescued from their bedroom by a neighbour named Hook. A man named Arthurs came into the town and raised an alarm, while Henry Jones, a lamplighter, on his rounds informed Captain Drake of the Fire Brigade, and the new steam fire engine was drawn on to the Quay. Owing to the tide being low a few minutes’ delay was occasioned while one of the firemen fetched another length of hose. With four jets playing on the flames, the fire was got under control in about 20 minutes, but everything inside the building was burnt. Mr Stooke, of Newton, is the owner of the property, which is leased to Messrs Pinsent, brewers, of Newton. The house and furniture are insured.
