FIRE IN THE CAPITOL. Explosion of Gas Works Disastrous Results. A disastrous fire occurred in the National Capitol at Washington last Sunday afternoon as the result of an explosion of gas near the bottom of an elevator shaft. The exact cause of the explosion is unknown. A large gas meter was located at the bottom oi" the shaft and a number of jets were buruing there continually. It is supposed that one of the jets was blown out by a draft of wind, and that the escaping gas which was afterward ignited, caused the explosion. The portion of the building which suffered most was the supreme court room, located near the shaft. The flames got among the books and papers and much damage was done by the flood of water that was necessary to extinguish the fire. As a restilt of the explosion, the Capitol was shaken from centre to circumference. The report was heard all over Washington. AT THE CHURCHES. baptist. Rev. Edward S. Reaves, Pastor.

WE are satisfied that the agents for all plows besides the Genuine Oliver, in order to matte sales, will tell the farmers I hat their plow is "just as good as the Oliver." They know that the Oliver is recognized the world over as the most perfect plow ever made, and that no man who lias ever used one in accordance with the plain instructions given, has ever yet been disappointed, and that it is the only geuu'ne chilled plow made. There is one important point that often escapes the Ucnlion of the farmer in search of a plow. He forgets that all plows need repairs. He also forgets that perhaps he or a neighbor has a plow that is no longer manufactured, the factory that made it having failed, mul the plow, although considered a good one, is useless because I lie repairs cannot be bought, and the plow that an agent is trying to sell him may be useless in a year or two for the same reason. Please bear iu mind that history repeats itself. Oliver Plows Are the Standard, Having been on the market for about 30 years, and are made by the wealthiest filow concern in the world, as well as the argest, and will be in business when three-fourths of the would-be competitors who are trying to palm otf cast plows on the farmers as "chilled" are out of business. For tbe foregoing reasons, it strikes us that tbe wise farmer will buy tbe Oliver every time, aside from the fact that there is not a shadow of doubt but that it is tbe best. An Oliver Hillside Plow Was received by us today. Call and see it and other styles, and get a nice pocket memorandum book free of charge. GRIST COUSINS. CAROLINA BUGGY CO.
