ed tbe house, bnt no water was thrown, as
the fire bad been quenched by the use of
buckets and a hose attached to a hydrant
in tbe yard. Tbe fire originated from
matches which fell ehlnd tbe mantel piece,
which being ignited, by some means, burn?
ed into a tmall specs between the door
frame and chimney, which was built in
such a manner as to act as a sort of flue to
conduct tbe flames through tbe ceiling over
the second floor. Mr. Sullivan was aroused
by the roaring of tbe flames through this

ceiling of tbe second floor and roof. Mr.
Sullivan estimates his loss at more than
$500, which is covered by insurance.

Misses Lnoy and Alice Harris, of Town
ville, paid friends a pleasant call last week.
Mrs. 8. A. Pick ens is very nnwell at this
writing.
Mr. John Patterson had tbe misfortune
to lose his horse last week. It is thought
to have been caused by hydrophobia.
One of Anderson County's young men,
Mr. Bob Price, came throngh these parts
in a jiffy Saturday. He claims to own
the world's rennuned males, and judging
from hin many visits means to take her in.
Our friend who made so many tracks up
tbe road, has found that beautiful band
kerchief, and is no more. Amen.
We have a few incidents to chronicle that
are romantic, but true, that we will give
for tbe benefit of tbe young and inexper?
ienced: A yonng man, about 23 years
of ago. (we will not use any name), became
"mighty smitten" on a pretty little bru?
nette, some 13 years of age, and paid bis
respects (at a distance) for some time. He
decided to enter into the band t:f nutri
monial saints a few days back, and aft?r
a few walks with our little damsel, and
making her a pressnt of two fauoy ''pina?
fore?,'1 concluded 'o make the tie on the
second Sunday a'. 3 p m , at tbe residence
of Rev. L. N., (without mentioning tbe
subject to his intended); and writes her a
note to meet him there at tbe appointed
hour. He goep, but bis intended fails to
appear. He remains till dark and hits the
grit to her father's residence, and there
finds her and another fellow. He boldly
walks into tbe room, and, with the air
of a King, declares bis disappointment and
sorrow, and bids adieu by oalling for bis
"pinafores," by informing berthat it she
basen't any use for him, she doesn't need
the pinafore. This belog bis first, of course
was green on the subject, bat we learn be
has "caught on," and is standing in now.
Mr. F. P. Hanlbrook, of Pelzer, paid
friends here a visit recently. He reports a
f. 3od time.
Mr. J. L. MoWhorter, tbe accomplished
teacher at Return, spent a fortnight among
tbe people bere, and Bpeake well of our
surroundings. Ho contemplates another
visit ere long.
Mrs. Evle Cleveland and family moved
back to Piedmont the 12th inst. She says
