There was (tuite a bad fire a feu miles south of Walhalla Sunday af ternoon, by which W. H. Butler lost a house valued at. $JOO, and his ten ant, Anderson Young, colored, lost practically everything he had in the house. The building was a four room structure, with large piazzas, being well built, the house celled throughout. .Hist how the fire origi nated is not known. Anderson Young and his family-all except one boy of about 18 years-had gone to a special religious meeting at West minster, and there was no one home except this hoy, and he was not well. He stated that ihe had been in bed all the morning and-about noon had gotten up in order to heat some wa ter. Shortly after making a lire in the fireplace he heard a roaring nol?c and discovered that the house was on lire over the ceiling and on ?ne roof. Ho used what water there was in tho house, checking the flames, but by the time he got to tho well and drew moro such headway had boen made by the llames that he could not con trol them. He thon fired a gun and called for help, but by tho time neighbors were able to roach the house it waa past all hope of saving anything. The hoy -managed, with :!., help of the first io reach him, to save ono bedstead and bedding and most of the things from tho kitchen. Fverything else in the house was a to il loss. A bale of cotton that was being held at tho 'house was rolled far enough away to insure ita safety. Anderson Young is quite an old dar key, is well thought of by both white and colored people everywhere ho is known, and his loss is deeply re g? et ted. No outbuildings were lost. I Thc house- destroyed was one of pe culiar value to Mr. Butler by reason j of tho fact'that lt was his first home 'after ho married and bogan lite for himself, and it was situated within a foi yards of the old lintier home stead whore ho was born. Mr. But h . is one of tho well-to-do farmers of this j)ros|>eroii:; section south of tow ll. -Last Thursday afternoon about 3 o'clock the barn on the Main street lot of J. E. Hendrix was destroyed by lire. The barn was situated very I close to the store and residence ot' j lt. A. Nichols. Thc alarm was given quickly and assistance came Hom all sides. Nothing could he done, how- ! ever, toward saving the barn, hut by : hard work 'the house In which Mr. j Nichols and family reside was saved j wHli but sllghl d? mase. During the : short time that the Ure at the barn . raged with such liny as to make it j appear thal it would be impossible to save the residence and store. | everything was moved from the liv ing rooms and store room into the I street. This building caught lire a number of times, but each time the flames were extinguished. The chemical engine proved of great as sistance in the carly stages of the fi tx*. The "old reliable" hand engine was finally brought to the scene by a number ol' young boys, and as soon as a stream of water was thrown on the buri?ng mass at the barn, all danger to the nearby property was avoided. .lust how the dre origi nated is a mystery. No one, so far as known, was about the barn at the time, and the first signs of fire were at the roof when the whole seemed to bulge out in a mass ol Hame and smoke. There was a quantity of va ri JUS kinds of feed stuffs in the loft, and it mack' a lire that burned so rapidly and with sich Intensity that it was impossible to (Tnt roi it with the limited water simply at com mand. Mr. Hendrix's loss is some $200, with no Insurance, we are in formed. Mr. Nichols's loss is slight, some of his goods having been dam aged in removal, as were also some of his household articles. Both he and Mr. Hendrix are fortunate, how ever, in i.lat their losses are so slight where they might have been quite severe. -Cotton is not the only "money crop."

There are many friends in this section who will learn with deep re gret of the death of John W. Hunter, well known to the people of Oconee.
