The dwelling house ?d' Mr. Z. < '. I>nl lentine. who lives on the Helton road, Ihiee milss casi of ?In* eily, was de? si roved by lire hist Saturday morning about 3 o'clock. The lire is supposed lo have caught Ironi the stove m the kitchen, .ind had gained such a head? way when Mr. lialleiitine was awaken? ed that ii was impossible lo save any? thing bul a few trunks from the house. Che house was insured for ?300 and the furniture for $200. The loss falls quilo heavy on Mr. Balleutiiie. Hon. .J. Belton Watson, who. lives | four miles north of the city, lost his ham and a large quantity of forage by fire last Thursday afternoon. It is thought the lire originated through the carelessness of some one smoking m the barn. Mr. Watson estimates his loss at about $350, on which there was insurance to thc amount of $190 in the Anderson Farmers' Mutual Fire Insur? ance Co. Mr. Watson had a similar misfortune about a year ago.

We would be more than pleased to welcome him as a citizen of Anderson. The fire alarm was sounded yester? day about 11:30 a. m., and was re? sponded to very promptly by Ander? son's brave firemen. The fire was in the cellar of the Evans Pharmacy, in the Hotel Chiquola block, and was caused by striking a match too near a barrel of asphalting which ignited and was soon in a big blaze. For a few seconds it looked very serious, but the. quick work of the firemen soon had tue fi?mes extinguished. The damage amounted to about $2?0, which is covered by insurance. j Mr. J. Ellison ?dger died at his home in Charleston last Wednesday night. J His death was rather sudden, and was , a great shock to his friends throughout 1 the State. Mr. A dger was.74 years of j age, and was ono of Charleston's oldest and most successful merchants. He i was one of the five sons of the late James Adger, and his only surviving ( brother is the Rev. Jolm B. Adger. 1). i D., of Pendleton. A wife and six cnil- -. dren survive the deceased, and one of J the latter is Mr. J. E. Adger, Jr., of Pelzer. ] Our Pendleton correspondent an- ! nounces the death of Mrs. E. H. Shank- * lin, which occurred at her home in Pendleton last Monday night, after a brief illuess. Mrs. Shanklin was a daughter of the late Dr. Wm. Robin? son, a sister of Mrs. E. E. Moore, of i this city, and lived nearly all her life in Pendleton. She was a most excel? lent, Christian woman, and was most highly esteemed by a wide (.'ireh; of friends, who will 'long cherish her memory. Wc tender our sympathies to the grief-stricken family in their sore bereavement. Kev. W. B. Singleton, or "Uncle Buck" as he was familiarly known and called, died at his home lour miles east of this place last Saturday afternoon, aged about 78 years. He was stricken < about two months ago with malady v thal baffled the skill of physicians and continually grew worse and worse, suffering untold agony and pain, until death came. He was thc best known and most universally loved man in this County. He numbered his friends by the scores and hundreds. He has served Churches in this County .and Oconee, Anderson, Greenville and preached in other States. Although of limited education he was looked upon as one of the best preachers in the Baptist denomination in this part of thc moral vineyard.-P/cfrews Sentinel, Wth inst. The Greenville News of yesterday says: "Thc Greenville and Anderson commissioners will meet at Piedmont to-day to accept the new steel bridge, that has just been built across the Sa? luda river over the factory pond imme? diately above the dam.' The bridge was built by the Virginia Bridge com? pany, of Roanoke, according to the specifications of Cooper, thc best known authority on bridges and highways. It cost $4,410, and Supervisor Speegle says it is worth more than the new Beizer bridge, which cost about $12, 000. The new Piedmont bridge con? nects the two counties and the two towns of Piedmeut, and with a capacity of 100 pounds to the square foot takes the place of the single track wooden bridge. The new structure is built on cylinder piers, is 280 feet long and 18 feet wide. Thc cost of the bridge will be divided evenly between the two counties." Progress is visible in every direction we turn, lie il in a secular or religious sense, it is the first time in the his? tory of Anderson that the resident Jews in our midst were numerically strong enough to have observed the. New Years Festival, which commenced on Friday evening: last. On that sol? emn occasion all the members, forming themselves into a congregation, met at the residence of Mr. and Mrs. O. Geis berg. where the service was conducted in a most becoming manner, followed by another service on Saturday morn? ing, which was read in a most, impres? sive manner in the English language hy Mr. Julius H. Weil, whoas a reader cannot be excelled by t he most trained professional. Anderson is surely on a high way ol* progressiveness in having gained such acquisitions, and wc only hope, that ere many more years will have passed away, we will see a hand? some temple erected in our midst. Thc Day of Atonement, which commences on Sunday evening next, will be ob? served as strictly by all. How to Look Good.
