Madd?>x, a far.nor living near Donalds, has had the misfortune of losing by fire nine bales of cotton, his buggy and harness, 400 bundles of fodder, 35 bushels ot corn, a sack ?f covion seed a.eai, 160 pound-1 of hulls and a number of bushels of peanuts. It is thought that the fire was of incendiary origin and the loss falls heavily upon Mr. Maddotc, as he only saved one bale of cotton. He carried no insurance. Five hales of cotton beloaging to Mr. J. M. Clarke, a prominent farmer of Anderson county, caught fire on a wagon today as it was being hauled to this city to be marketed. The fire was diecovered ah the wagon was passing the Gluck mills and the bales were dumped in a mill pond there. The loss by damage is about $100. A white man named Kvans was driving the team and he denies that he was smoking. ^ ?The Gills Creek school will open next Monday, with Miss Daisy Rollings as teacher. ! : Lan( LEDGER J 852 ILY.
