T1IE *'IRE. On last Friday morning another disastrous flre occurred In our city and laid In ruins the Glea Ethel Inn and the three storps underneath or on the ground floor, viz: Messrs. A. H. Cheatham, O H Cobb and R. L. Dargan. Much of tbe Btocks belonging to Messrs. Cobb and Cheatham were saved, but were badly damaged by water, and being torn up and pulled around generally. Mr. Dargan removed part of bis cut glassware and tnen seeing the folly of trying to move a stock ot china ware and fancy articles turned the key in the door and lelt all to tbe mercy of the flames which soon turned the beautiful glittering stock into a blackened and ruined mass. Mrs. Taggart who was proprietor of the hotel saved some of her household effects, all of " which were greatly damaged and broken up. . The merchants' oarrled some Insurance. The building was partially insured, but Mrs. Taggart carried not a dollar of Insurance, hence ber loss was complete and Is heavy on her as she had Just gotten to the place where Bhe was moving on to success. The blaze was under great headway before anything was heard or known, and everything bo dry It waR rapidly consumed by the flames In spite of the heroic efforts made tj save the property. While the lose-was great, we have much to be thankful for, In the fact that so many narrow escapes were made, yet no lives weie lost. There are Dumbers of conjectures In regard to the property as to Its disposal, but we ' know nothing definite as yet. Mr. Cheatham Is nicely located In the new store room next door to the new post office and Is ready lor business. Mr. Cobb 1r all right In bis new quarters just below L. T. Miller and has enough shoes left to supply his trade as of yore. Mr. Dargan Is located upstairs over the store of Mr. S. J. Link and _ will continue to give his customers the same ~ good barealns as before. Remember where the gentlemen are and give them a call. Mr. and Mrs. N. G. O'ttaen, of Sumter, while en route to Birmingham to visit relati es, stopped over In the city from Saturday d. m. until Monday morning the guests of Mr. W. T. McDonald and family. On Monday morning they continued their Journey over the Seaboard Air Line, being accompanied by Mrs. L. R. Vose, of Abbeville, who will visit relatives In the smoky city. Mr Osteen is proprietor of the Sumter Watchman, a bright, newsy paper Issued weekly. Mr. John Calhoun, of Cartersvllle, Ga., Is in the city spending a while with bis sister, Mrs. F. J. Mar-ball on Magazine Hill. Mr. C. V.

Penney of Sharon Is painting bis dwelling white wltb green blinds, whlcb, wben finished, will present a pretty appearance nestling among the beautiful oaks upon a id" ujii. We often think an we ride through the country, if every dwdllng was painted bow different, afld how beautiral would be the 1 view. It Is a cheap 8Dd economical way of preserving, as well as beautifying yovr home. To Wujwatd Nona and Daughter*. J Sons and daughters, listen while we tell you something. Do you know that, your actions give away the fact that you are ashamed of your good old father and mother? Now what have they done that you should be ashamed of them? They have worked hard and gone without luxuries that you might wear good clothes, obtain an educ..tion, and enjoy yourself while young. It was their intention to give you a good start in life, to fit you to cope with the world. But it has not had that effect. It has simply given you the "swell head." You have "got it bad." You have come to think you are better flesh and blood than common people, and that in allowing yourself to associate with the old folks you are doiug them a great favor. Of course they are, in a great meapure, to blame for this. In their anxiety to put you forward they did ' uot notice that you were developing into a fool, and they don't know it " yet. They sincerely love you and . their love blinds their eyes. But i other people notice it and it will be- ' come apparent to your parents by and by. Sometime they will find out that all the use you have for them is to get your board, clothing and wash- y ing?that you are ashamed of them?and it will braek their dear old hearts. j "XT r?TTT rlnn 'f 1 ?1 f t V* Q f Vvorvnon Wo ' 11 u >v, V?WIJ V ivb luuv aa^/pbii, u v tell you plainly that your father or <1 your mother knows as much as a J whole train load of you. Their feathers are not as line, but you will yet i learu that line feathers cover many a * foolish bird. Look at the goose. Shedoes't know enough to get in out ( of the rain. The sensible way for you to do this 1 is to get right down off your high J horse and take a good look at yourself. If you will do this you will I find that your parenta are not ashamed of you and will go to work and make something else thau a simple- . ton of yourself. If you do not get your eyes open now you will when your children grow up, If you ever raise any. They will treat you as yon now treat your parents, and will not be to blame, if you don't know any more then than g UOWi a Of course we have no 9ucb young t people in this community, but they j! arequite numerous in other localities. ^ Fraternal Record. t a e 8 Morse'M V.QCHIH, A tine variety of sweet potato slips.

To the oity of Not at All! -lAnnie H. Donnell In Yoath'a OomptaJehi If I Were Too. If I were you, I'd see my path of duty Bo plain and straight, without a ourve or beoi And walk upon it, without swerve or falter, From life's beginning straightway to Its end. I'd be so strong, so faithfol and so true, I would. If I were you. If I were you, I'd live upon a pittance And save up money for a rainy day And never buy a pretty gown or Jewei Or take a bit of pleasure by the way, And then I'd be so cheerful, never blue, 1 would, If I were you. If I were 70a and friends that knew 70a longest Would hart sad wound, advice unasked would give, I'd still forbear and oherish all their virtue* And ever with them In oontentment live. I'd be so faithful, constant through and through, I would. If I war* 70a. If I were 70a and found some gentle woman Who gave 70a sweetneM. trust and sympathy, I would not turn to them for consolation. But seek alone the barren friendship tree, Nor try to find a broader mental view. Ah, no; I would not?not if 1 were you. And If a man should help yoa with his liking To stronger purpose or to braver doed I'd do without his presence and incentive, Lest all the goealps' tongues thereby should speed. Although H take from life Ita pleasures few? I would, if I were you. If I were you, I'd stay In old lnclosuree And be consistent all the way along, No matter what the stress and strain of life ia, Temptations, trials, sorrows, loss among. All this and more I'd do, I would, if I were yoa But for myself, as I am Just a woman, I'll take what help and gladness I can find. Nor make a pledge to abeolnte perfection, And all my way to hard heroics bind, Content to think, with kindly deeds as leaves, While here I dwell I lose no hope of heaven. And so, withal, at last 1 may not rue Ket doing a*?I would If I were yoa. ?Anna Oloett Oommulln. Child and Mother.
