DUNN'S RESIDENCE BURNED. Mr. G. B. Dunn's residence on lower Congress street was completely de itroyed by fire at midday Monday. A1 ^2.20 o'clock fire was discovered beween the roof and ceiling of the kitchen and the alarm was given imnediately. The fire had gotten such a jood start, however, before the firenen could get in their work that all sfiorts to save the bnilding proved utile. The firemen and a great many >thers who volunteered their services or the oecreion fought pluckily to save he property, and when forced to give ip the fight did so most regretfully. Nearly all of the furniture and per;onal effects of the family on the first loor were saved, but almost everyhing in the rooms upstairs was deitroyed.

At the mass meeting held Friday to ^ discuss ways and means of having the old Winnsboro and Longtown road J pnt in serviceable condition, it was deeided to present a petition signed ? by the citizens of Winnsboro and ? I Va TrioTniffr In tlip r>nar<1 nf cnnntv* tUV V IVlUiU J V V Wwv V% v> w_ , J commissioners at its meetiog Saturday 1 praying for the restoration of the j road. This petition was presented and the committee appointed by the j citizens to report on the road appeared before the board to represent the clums of both Winnsboro and Long- ^ town. * i The board indicated its willingness < to act favorably in the matter, and a < snryey will be made immediately look- ' ing to the reopening of the road. I The chain gang will be pat to work t down there jast as soon as possible, 1 and it will not be long before the j Winnsboro andLongtown air-line will ; be in first-clas3 shape. t The Report. S The committee appointed by the f citizens' meeting to look into the condition of the Winnsboro and Long-11 town road with a view to having it , put into thoronghiv good fix by the j county officials, went over the road on the 18 instant and have this to say: J For about four miles from Winnsboro the road has been well worked ' by the chain gang and is generally in 1 good condition. A few places on * slopes of bills need some work. The hill west of Wateree Creek this side J of Preston Rion's place has been worked and in dry weather keeps good. 1 It is too steep and needs to have the sammit knob cut off to a proper grade. The road through the bottom and , across the stream is now in good con- I dition?a result of the dry weather. But experience proves that 'the road , here is generally very bad. It is our f judgment that a causeway should be f laid at the worst places with a ditch } on both sides and a suitable bridge ; over the stream. The hill on the east ' side is in bad condition and ought to be thoroughly worked. The road be- 1 yond through the Rion place, is tolerably good up the approach to Morrow e Hill where the road from Poplar ? Spring to Ridge way runs into the i Winnsboro and Longtown road. This 1 is almost impassable and is the most . difficult job by far of the entire twelve miles. To make this a good road ; much labor will be required with powder and pick. The grade ought to be greatly reduced by cutting down the summit and building up the lower in- ! cline. At the bottom of this hill a road to the right leads to Ridgeway. J Thpnrp nn through the Wvlie Davis place the roa?f is generally level and ? good. Ths \vo> cru branch of Dutchman's Creek is dry and nt present the road is , good, but here is again needed the J causeway with ditches and at least two bridges. Beyong this creek the road , has 9 few rough places, one of which is covered with watei'-worn pebbles ; and small stones, which utilized by the ! chain gang would famish material to macadam the rjad at little, expense. Thence through Lloyd Davis' place . the road is pretty good until it reaches the much-talked of 10-mile hill. There some of the committee led their horses down hill, others kept their seats. This 1 bill, but for neglect, is a small afisir comparatively. It consist of gravel 1 and is about seventy-five yards long and can be made a better road than ( Gowley's hill at one-fifth the expense. J Then we come to east Dutchman's ' Creek. No water that we could see ruunmj, but a puerile hole in the road, the water reaching nearly to a borse's belly. This place need3 a little causewaying and a little ditching above so as to cODfJue the waiter to a channel, and a small bridge. The material of the icur bridges can be obtainad on the ground except plank for flnoriug. About oue mile from the jr?r>ctiov. with the Durham road there is a goor*. deal of road covered wi.h pebbles and water-worn rocks also, from that junction, which is about one and >; half miles from the Longtown ;oad, ->ro!> ] bly half the wav i? covered w;th the ' same kind of rock?. These -cake ] travel disagreeable but furnish material ? for making the road free ?'jomu:udin wet weather. A ehort distance fi*om Simpson's store a road bore off to ?he left short- j ening the distance to Longtown some* i what. This has been closed but should ; be opened. On the whole we conclude that, With a thorough working by the chain fang aDd probably with a change of ocalitie3 at certain points for better grades and shorter distances, which ve are informed is easily attainable, he communication between Longtown .nd V/iunsboro will be much easier han that upon some other roads leading iuto the town. Inasmuch as we lelieve that the location of the road an be greatly improved in places, we tronglv recommend that a competent >erson be selected to make a survey of he road between Winosboro and fimpsoEi's store on tbe Longtown road, nd ihat thi? meeting raise fifty dollars o defray the expense of tbe survey.

IS IT BIGET ; For an Editor to Becommend Patent ^Medicines? From Sylvan Valley News, Brevard, N. C. It may be a qaestion whether the ? editor of a newspaper has the right to publicly recommend any of the varioos proprietary medicines which flood the market, yet as a preventive of sufferins: we feel it a duty to say a good word for unamDerianrs uonc, uooiera , and Diarrhoea Eemedy. We have . kDOwn and ased this medicine ia oar ' family for twenty years and have always fonnd it reliable. In many cases a dose of this remedy would save hours of suffering while a physician is awaited. We do not believe in depending implicity on any "medicine for a cure, but we do believe that if a bottle of Chamberlain's Diarrhoea Remedy were kept on uand and administered at the inception of an attack much suffering might be avoided and in very many cases the presence of a physician would not be required. Al least this has been our experience during the past twenty years. For sale by Mc Master Co. A CARD. To the Patrons of the Registered Horse W. A. W.: During the busy s;ason I drove to your farms.
