COLUMBIA COLLEGE | DESTROYED BY FIRE, j Fire at 2:30 Thursday morning botally destroyed Columbia College, built by popular subscription from the Methodists all over the state. The plant was valued at two hundred and fifty thousand dollars, and was insured for seventy-five thousand, with ten thousand more on the equipment. The property was bonded for sixty thousand and twenty odd thousand more in floating debt. The liquidation would leave nothing but the rock foundation and grounds. But arrangements are going right ahead for re-building and opening for the present session in the Colonia Hotel, the former plant of the college. A Birthday Dinner. On August 31st at the home of Mr. Jacob Wingard gathered his children and grand-children to celebrate his 75th birthday. Under the shade of the trees in the back yard at 12:30 o'clock all sat down?about 25 in number?to enjoy a well prepared barbecue dinner, furnished by the children in honor of their aged father. Mr. Wingard was a brave Confederate soldier, and at the ripe old age of 75 still eajoys good health. He is the only living child of Joshua Wingard. His wife, Mrs. Sarah Ann Wingard, has been dead about 14 years. Those present were: Mr. and Mrs. Bachman Meetze and daughter, Hazel; Mr. and Mrs. Houston Wingard and children, Carrie Mae and Hattie Lee; **- Coinnol Wincarrl anH JUX.

Esavy Loss By Fire. On Monday morning about 10 o'clock the beautiful country home of Mr. W. W. Barre on the old Wm. L. Taylor place about two and one-half miles from Lexington, known as Barre's lower mill, valued at $2,000, was destroyed by fire. Tho house was occupied by Mr. Gee. D. Porter and family, who lost practically all of their household belongings. The fire is thought to have started from a spark from the stove flue on top of the kitchen. There was no insurance on the building and the loss falls heavily upon Mr. Barre, as well as the occupant of the house. None of the outbuildings were burned.
