Davis and., his . family were aroused by the alarm of fire, and soon saw that the large two- h tory . bam and stables were on fire, and the flames had gained such ! strength that even an endeavor to save anything from tlft building was hope- : less. The fire was first seen by a 1 negro man man who sleeps in 3Ir. Davis yard. The fire evidently origi- ' nated on the side from, which the wind. was blowing, which srreatly accelerated [ the destruction. 1 The loss, consisting of a years sup- 1 ply of provender,, fodder, pea vines, ' bay etc, and eight mules and three ' horses, is estimated at $2,500. All of the stock perished in the flames making . it a peculiarly distressing conflagration. Mr. Davis with much difficulty saved " his cattle which were keptuuder a the barn.

On Wednesday evening, January 22 the gin house, and screw belonging to the estate of R. M. Stevenson,deceased, was accidentally destroyed by fire. It was caused by a spark falling on the cotton, as tljey.were carrying it from the lint room ..to the screw. It first caught outiide.on some lock3 at the door and the wind conveyed it inside to the pile of loose 1 int failing from the ginh^ad. As soon as it touched that it Cashed up like powder. Every available effort was made to extinguish the fire,-some of the hands were badly burnt and came near losing their lives. .. . . . The building was large,, -convenient aud. well constructed, covered with iron,' and a lightning rod attached.
