The alarm was sounded, the firemen responded promptly and the flames soon extinguished. The fire is supposed to have been caused by a lighted lantern being left in a box, in whick was stored some oil, waste, etc. The belting was destroyed, and the mill had to close down until it can be replaced. The loss will aggregate about $600 or $000, which is covered by insurance. Had it not been for the efficiency of onr fire department, the fire would have been a serious one, as the mill had a large stock of meal, hulls and oil in the buildings and many bales of cotton in the yard. At 1 o'clock Sunday morning the buBinesspart of the prosperous little town of Willington, forty-six miles distant from Andersnn, on tho Charles ton and Western Carolina Railway, was almost completely destroyed by fire.

The two-story frame build ing in which the postollico was situated was also burnt down, but the couteuts of tho building were sn ved. Tho iron bars of the window at the back of Cowan's store were found bent na if for entrance, and this has led to thu be lief that the tiro was incendiary. The loss is estimated at about $0,000, partly covered by insurance. The editor of tho Carolina Spartan, who is good authority on agricultural subjects, says : "Many persons have raised fine turnip crops this year. They bring very little in the market. It would be well for farmers to bank them up ns soon as tho freeze sets in. Take them un, cut off tho tops until only two or three indies remain, pile 20 to 40 bushels iu a conical pile, cover with dirt thick enough so they will not freeze. A few boards put over them will keep the rain out. They may bring a botter price in January. If not give your milch cow about 10 to 15 pounds a day after cutting them up with a hatchet. They tend to keep cows in good health and serve ns a filler, which is generally needed in the winter."

The people of Anderson are delighteil to know that our former fellow-townB man and rector of Grace Episcopal Church, Rev. W. T. Capers, who it now rector of the Episcopal Church al Vicksburg, Miss., is mentioned aso probable successor of Bishop Thomp son, of Mississippi, who died last Thursday. It would be an unusual and int/^asting incident indeed if thc Vicksburg rector should bu elected bishop of the diocese of Mississippi during the life time and active diocesan work of his father as bishop, and within the recollection of many now living as to the work of the othei bishop of that name, Bishop William Capers, the father of the present bishop of South Carolina and the grandfather of a prospective bishop of Mississippi.

Pickens. of his son, Thomas Pickens, Governor of Sooth Carolina, or any person connected with tho old church or who may be buried in the cemetery, will please forward the same to Prof. R. N. Brackett as early as practicable. -Keowee Courier. Our popular townsman, J. A. Brock, attended the annual meeting of the stockholders of the C. & W. C. R.
