Everybody is in a rush and the goods that are being wrapped up and sent out by special carriers indicate that Piatt & Son have what the shoppers want.

Lots of Grain Being Sowed. Farmers attending the meeting of the county union on Saturday from nearly every section of the county, gave out the information that the i farmers are sowing more small grain this fall than ever before.

Swansea, the beautiful and growing ' * C!noV\r>C)*rl in tllin ilCIie 10WI1 Oil LUC UCOUvaiu, ... county, was visited yesterday morning by the most serious fire in its history. About 3 o'clock fire was discovered in the office of the large st Te building of Messrs. J. W. & R. L. Lybrand, and it was not long before the whole building was enveloped with flames which rapidly spread to the adjoining buildings, and before the fire was checked eight buildings were destroyed, and several others were badly damaged. Particulars are meagre, but from the information received here, the following buildings were totally destrovpd: w-^J ~? Swansea Drug Company, J. W. & I R. L. Lybrand, general merchandise; Drs. Brooker, drug store; Henry Sharp, beef market, etc.; M. L. Williams, groceries; A restaurant owned by J. W. & R. L. Lybrand; The K P lodge hall, etc. The new building of the Bank of Swansea was badly damaged, the whole front being almost totally ruined. The large store of Reynolds & Craft, together with the Swansea hotel, narrowly escaped the flames. The origin of the Are is unknown. The estimated losses, with the amount of insurance, cannot be learned, but it will undoubtedly be heavy, and, coming just at tins season wn^-n the merchants were prepared for a large Christmas trade, makes it doubly heavy. We extend sympathy to cur sister town, in the loss it has sustained, but phoenix like, she will rise from her ashoed, a more beautiful and prosperous town. Columbia Grocery Co.
