The fire was first discovered by Mrs. Sightler, who was the only one at home, the other members 01 the family being at the buryiBg of Mrs. Fallaw, near the mantlepiece and the presumption is that there was a crevice in the chimney through which a spark passed and ignited the boards. "When discovered the fire was beyoDd control and the flames made such rapid headway that it was impossible to save much of the contents of the dwelling, and they, together with the buildiBg, were entirely destroyed. The neighbors and friends of Mr. Sightler deeply symyathize with him in his misfortune and are showing ^ their sympathy in a substantial manner by assisting him to replace his burned home, which is very commendable as it speak volumes in favor of the Christian charity, brotherly love and neighborly kindness which exists in that community.

It seems as if Miss "V. L. S." is much opposed to decorating a school house. If she hates beautiful structure in the school room, why don't : she jump on Clemson or Winthrop. | Her father, if he pays taxes, pays tax ! every year to help those magnificent schools, which surpass any other schools in the State for beauty and , educational advantages. I Miss "V. L. S." evidently has a composition of her own, as I have never seen any thing in a text book which demanded that the pupil should jump on a newspaper correspondent outside of the subject discussed. Andy. Ella, March 30,1896.
