We left the comforts and pleasures
of home and faced the freezing blizzird

to rise and fall.
I', was a bitter cold day and the
c.ffee which we drank for breakfast
froze within us before we reactu d
Fourteen Mile creek, and we pulled
it out frozen into fqiare cake3 and
put it away for future necessities.
Mr. J. Weir Addy, who was our companion
in misery, becoming thirsty,
we broke the frozen coffee in pieces
and tried to melt it in an old oyster
can that happened to be in the
buggy. But it was love's labor lost
for after starting a roaring fire oit
of pine knots, the flimes froze as fait
as they leaped into the air and we
bad to give the effort up in disgust
and we started again wishing that
Africa's sunny clime was joaming
around loose in the wood? and that
we would catch up with it so that we
;ould warm up the old clay ternnents.
N) such good luck overlook
us, however, and we had to
*rin and bear it the best human
patience would allow us.
We had our longing eyes fixed
ipon the comfortable and hospitable
lome of Mr. Pink Rood, and old
Prince seemed to smell oats in the
tir for at a spanking space he headed
hat way. Arriving there with icicles
protruding from our nostrals,
vhich stuck into the earth at every
olt of the buggy and our moustache *
ike a porcupine's back when it is
iled, we arrived at our destination j
md was soon thawing out before a
oaring fire, we were as kindly ^
reated as young babes away from '
heir mothers and were soon in such (
t condition as to eDjoy a bountifully 1
spread supper. Mr. Kocn is one of ^
iollow Creek's best citizens and be- (
ieves in the conceit that he who
aughs grows fat. After being com- j
ortably tucked away in a downy bed
mder cover mountain high we 1
jently woed Morpheous and dreamed (
hat many delinquents were knocking *
it the peaily gates seeking admit
anca and being asked by St. Peter
f they had paid their subscription to
he Dispatch, and receiving "No1' for ,

and awful frown and pronounced

and I will admit you into the *

Thursday morning, being refrebhd
with sweet sleep and feeling asured
that we had St Peter on our
ide, we started for Crout's store,
rhere Mr. Addy, the deputy assessor j
ras to make the taxpayers swear and
re to fill our crocus sack with the
oot of all evil. Mr. Addy was not ^
isappointed in hi3 expec'ations
rhile ours fell below zero and was f
older than the air which played
hrough our beautiful locks as preci- g
us few roots we found. We took
inner with our friend, G. F. Krisler j
nd enjoyed a pleasant conversation
rith his estimable family and did I:
all justice to the good things set be- F
are us for the refreshment of the
mer man."
Thursday night, by special invitaioD,
we drove up to the handsome ?
nd comfortable residence of that
lost agreeable and popular gentle- j
lan, R. L. Keisler, and such a welome
that we received at his hands ;
i inexpressable. He could not have
aid us more thoughtful attention if
^e had been a young maiden fancy
ree and he a gallant beau spaiking
is first flame.
Friday night found us in the new 0
ome of Mr. Henry D. Smith. He a
as just completed a large and well [
onstructed residence and has furn- o
hed it from top to bottom with j]
legant furniture and has surrounded f
imself with every comfort and
axury that a cultivated taste could ^
uggest and money purchase. The
ews over the grapevine telephone I
ays that he has prepared the luxu
ious cage for a sweet and charming
ird, which he hopes to capture iu
he near future, who will be to him l
he fairest amoDg ten thousands and j
he one altogether lovely. Mr. 11
Imith deserves much credit for his i
uccess in life. He is the architect \
IJ
f his own fortune. Having comcienced
life without a dollar, his
nly capital beiDg enterprise, energy
nd an indomitable will to surmount "
very obstacle which lay in his path
o fortune, he has succeeded in
missing a competency that will
upport him as his face turns towaid
he sunset of life. He is one of our
nost progressive farmers and has
mpplied himself with the latest imjrovemeuts
to prosecute his fainting
>perations. Would that Lexington

Fire Last Night.
Last night between the hours of
10 and 11 o'clock the town bell
sounded the alarm of fire caused by
the burning of the residence of Mr.
Mike S. W'ingard, in the' eastern
suburbs of the town. Some say that
the dwelling was on fire sometime
before the citizens of the town knew
that there was a fire. Be this as it
may the house wa3 nearly consumed
by the time a sufficient number of
persons arrived on the scene of
cor.fl igration, the roof had fallen in
and they could render but little assistance.
The origin of the fire is
unknown. Of the conflicting stoiies
we give the following: The fire
broke out about the kitchen, in
which there had been no fire for
sometime and was discovered by
Jesse, the son of Mr. Wingard, who
was awakened by the heat and found
the bed in which he was sleeping in
a blaza. He had barely time to give
the alarm and make his escape with
a few articles which first come to
band. It is affirmed that before the
rA.irc/^ f Vl o Ifitflllfln TO a Q
raiuiijr icun-u ii_iw aiuvuvu v?vu* k mw
ocked and when the fire was disjovered
it was standing wide open
with flames issueing from it which
eads to the theory of the fire being
Man incendiary oiigin.
The loss is quite a severe one to
Mr. Wingard, as but little if any of
Ms household and kitchen furniture
was saved. Many cf the members
)f the f amily lost all of their personal
;fleet, saving only their night clothep.
[t is net positively known if there
was any insurance on the building,
[c is probable there was none, but
f their was it did not exceed $100.
iVe sympathize deeply with Mr.
iiVingard in his misfortune.
