LIFESTYLES

On Dec. 5, 1928, the Main Building and West Wing at Louisburg College were practically destroyed by a devastating fire.
Sixty years later, almost to the day, another blaze tore through the very same space.
Al Peoples, a 27-year veteran and Captain in the Louisburg Fire Department, recalled that the alarm came in the early evening on Friday, Dec. 2, 1988.
"We could see the glow in the sky all the way out to Bickett Boulevard, and feared this was not going to be good."

Hundreds of millions of people across the globe rely on medications for their survival. In fact, the percentage of people using prescription medications may surprise people who work outside the health care industry.
According to the National Center for Health Statistics' National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey 2015-16, nearly 46 percent of the population of the United States used prescription drugs in 2015-16.
