Stevens was burned on Sat urday morning about 10 o'clock, having caught from the 6tove. The house was occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Frank Logue who saved most of their-persenal effects. One cannot think of the des truction of this old homestead without experiencing a degree of sadness. There' is scarcely a man in Edgefield or Saluda counties,, especially of the older generation, who did not at some time cross the threshold of the home of Capt. Stevens and partake of his bound less hospitality. It may be truly said that Capt. Stevens' home was e.verybody's home. The latch striug always bung on the out side. It was just such homes as this that has made the peonje of Edgefield county famous for their hospitality. Wheu Capt. Stevens was absent in the faithful dis charge of public duties his good wife, in her very gracious and characteristic manner, always ex tended the welcome hand to his friends when they called. For many, many years this house that is now in ashes was the mid-way stoppiug place of hun dreds of Saludians when they made trips to Edgefield to pay taxes, etc*" In fact, many would have come for miles to Capt. Ste vens' home to pay their taxes while he wis county treasurer. Large assortment of Colgate's Teilet. Soap. There is nothing better. Timmons Bros.

Dear Sir: If you should bake bread that people like better than any other and at lt?ss cost by the day. you'd haye a pretty-good business, wouldn't you? Wa have just such a business as that in paint; a gallon goes further than any other gallon of paint in the coun try-that's bread at less cost by the day ; but the difference isn't so small as it is in bread. And a job wears lon ger-that's bread at less cost by the year. People hate to paint; it costs money to paint; and they hate the fuss. They like our bread by the year. If your bread is better than any body-else's, and cost less too. you've ! got a good trade; for people do like good bread; and people like money. It doesn't take long to find-out; give 'em time. But you dan't bake better-tban-any body-else's bread for half the usual price for a breakfast, can you? Devoe is just such paint as that. The price by the gallon or loaf is no matter.
