No. L Well, I can't afford to take any but my county paper, and I suppose they thought, that was not worin advertising ID. BO I did not see their advertisement at all. If I har* I might have bought here :-.st season and certainly would ihis season, for I h^V/e. 'ion.? been tired of Augus1 a, and new^oat ? have made a little money I am goin.^ to N-w York.

Bradley & ?ons, at Eastern wharf, Savannah, Georgia, Look fire and was burned to the ground. The Ire originated within the mill, and spread rapidly, being fed by a large amount of lum Uer, some 400,000 feet, In the vicinity. Some ten or twelve vessels lying at the wharf only escaped destruction by promptly cutting their moorings and hauling out into the stream. The schooners Eagle, Carrie Heyer, Mary, and Eliza were, notwithstanding, damaged by the Sames in their rigging. The mill, known as Boss Mill, and lately flited up with new and expensive machinery, was entirely destroyed, entailing a loss of $35,030-$10,000 of which was Insured. Two hundred thousand feet of lum? ber were burned. Many of the employees of the mill suffered also in the loss of their tools ind other personal property. At twelve o'clock on the Sunday night fol? lowing another fire broke out In a two-story rame building at the corder of West Broad md River streets In t'?e same city.

It was damaged to the extent ol $500, which is fully covered by lusurauce. The Fire Department labored at these fires with but little intermission, and the papers are loud in praise o? their devotion.
