J. C. Austin & Co.'s stock of merchandise at Marshville was destroyed by fire yesterday morning about 2 o'clock. The stock was valued at $25,000.00, and there was $15,000.00 insurance. The brick building be longed to Mis. Sarah Hallman and was valued at $4,0?0. The building was completely demolished. There was $2,500 insurance. The origin of the fire is not known, but the rear door had been opened and it is supposed that burglars had entered the store. The company had just received much of their spring goods and it is claimed that there were about $1,000 worth of shoes that had not been opened up. A large barn on Mr. Hiram Baucom's farm in Lanes Creek township was burned about 2 o'clock yesterday morning. The fire had gain ed such headway before it was discovered that it was impossible to do more than open the stable do jrs and let the stock out and to pull the buggies and wagons out. One door was forgotten for the moment and a good horse was burned, besides all the gears, collars, etc., and all the rough feed in the barn which included about 4,000 bundles of fodder and a big lot of shucks and straw. There was no insurance. The origin of the fire is unknown. Thp npiorhK^rc who gathered in assured Mr. Baucom at once that they will aid him in building back his barn, and work will begin at once.

Cridcr, of Clemson College*^ .'71 The development of the home fruit and vegetable garden iS one of the most important pro blems in connection with ttuf upbuilding of the Horticultural resources of our State. Tha home garden paves the way, S|i| it were, for the larger operaticqfll of fruit and vegetable growin* It is always *the forerunner ot commercial development. From it has evolved all the great fruit and vegetable interests of the county. Small and unpretenti ous as it may appear, it has been the trial ground and propagating field where the fitness of several ( have been proven (md wherjj almost alK of our varieties oi high quality and commercial merit have been produced. In view of the fact that fruit and fresh vegetables are appreciated by all classes of people, in the city, town and country, it is surprising how little attention is given to the growing of them by those who have the proper facilities and location at their command, hoth of these healthful products of the garden should have a regular and permanent place on the family bill of fare, but in many instancas their culture has been neglected to such an extent that they are considered almost a luxury. Instead of seeing, as one travels throughout our Stflltv orfhnrrtc r?rvr?tuir? ing the best varieties of practically all the different kinds of fruit maintained in a thrifty condition, what do we see? In the majority of cases, we see only a few trees of the com: ""on est kinds of fruit occupying: the waste corners about the home grounds or standing: here and there TfrSi'ic CQ!to,^and com fields with every evidence**"^' neglect. Instead of seeing well kept gardens, producing i:1 abundance a variety of fresh vegetables for the table everV day in the vear, what do we secAll too often we see in th(e Spring only a few of the hardr i anions and turnips In the muT summer a few of the front tender sorts, as beans, tomatoes and squashes and a little later in the season a boundful crop of weeds. Most farmers and suburban dwellers make some effort to ;jrow fruit and vegetables for home use. but in the maioritv nf cases they do not grow enough to supply their families, and that which thev do grow is ofte n inferior in quality. It is a common sight to observe people on their way home from town stop at the corner grocery for a choice head of lettuce or basket of strawberries, when on ground a distance of less than one hundred yards from their kitchen, they could have growing, fresh and juicy, a very much superior product. Not infrequently, there are those who have every opportunity to grow and preserve any amount of fruit and vegetables that purchase a constant supply of canned goods of this nature. Think of it! In a land like ours, where these things grow so easily and cheaply, people ordering canned fruits and vpnptnhlps from the wholesale houses of our large cities, paying for the cans, the canning, the freight, and besides getting an inferior product. naker all right. >?
