Mr. George Corl9y Painfully
Injured.
3Ir. George Corley, who resides just
beyond the Lexington depot, met
with a painful and quite serious accident
while in Columbia yesterday.
He had gone to the city with a load
of sweet potatoes; his mule became
frightened throwing ??Ir. Corley out
of the wagon with such force that his
leg was broken, his hip dislocated and
perhaps injuring: him internally. He
was brought to Lexington 011 the five
o'clock train Dr. Wingarrt is attending
him and it is hoped that he will
soon recover.

Destructive Fire
v :si us w ageiier.
At 5 o'clock Thursday morning fire
was discovered in the store of Mrs.
Julia Williams, at Wagoner, which
soon destroyed it and quickly spread
lo adjoining stores and completely destro>el
nine stores, the depot and
barber shop.
The (3 una el loss reaches from ?10,010
to $50,COO, beside the depot.
Coining as it did just at the beginning
of the busy fail season it is quite
a heavy loss to all, and especially on
some who lost their all.
Mr. J. W. Lybrand, one of the leading
merchants in this section of the
State, says that ho can not get a
building and be ready to carry on his
extensive trade again before January
1.
The following is an estimate of the
principal losses with insurance en
goods and houses: J. W. Ly brand,
building value 82,000, insurance sToU;
J. \V. Lybrand, building $2,500, insurance
