Miss Marie Axthlem, of Charles ton, is visiting relatives in Florence. The phonograph is still at Cov ington and McLeod’s drug store. Father Kelly conducted services in the Catholic church yesterday. Miss Minnie Hodge has gone to her home at Cartersville to spend Christmas. Mrs. Pendergrass, of Kingtree, is visiting her daughter, Mrs. George Stackley. We still hear of approaching marriages. There are about half a dozen on the programme of com ing events. The two side showe which were here during last week have pulled np stakes and gone to Romo other city for a week’s stay. If you have goods to sell and want to sell them, advertise in the Times-Messenger and the Florence Daily Times, either or both. It was a noticeable fact that while horses could be seen at 3 o’clock yesterday washed down in sweat, at 6 oclock condensedj*; breatlTIssued from their nostrils like steam from an engine. The IIkui - Occupied by Mr. M. II. Ba»« In Euat Florence Is Burned to the Ground- Sir. Bass Loses His Furniture. About 9.15 o’clock this morning the citizens of Florence were startled by the alarm of fire. It was soon learued’that the house in East Florence owned by the Life Insurance Company of Virginia, and occupied by Mr. M. H. Bass was burning. The fire had made such rapid headway before being detected that it was useless to attempt to save the bouse. It was entirely destroyed. ^ Mrs. Bass was in one of the front rooms putting down a car pet. Going into the dining room for some purpose smoke and flames burst upon her. Tak ing her children in her arms she immediately left the building giving th^ alarm as she ran. Mr. Bass who had just reached his place of busiuess w'ai summoned and reached the house in time to save only four chairs. The fur niture was partially insured. This is the second time Mr. Baas has been burnt out during this month. L. the first fire on Nov. 3d, he lost all his household fur niture without a cent of insurance. He has the sympathy ot the com munity. Mr. John Allebrand, who has been North several weeks returned Saturday night accompanied by his bride. Mr. Allebrand is one of the proprietors of the Crate and Basket factory. Work on this new enterprise will be continued and it is to be hoped that the factory will be set in operation at an early date. The C«l«l Wa\e. The cold wave which we have been patiently awaiting has struck Florence with a vengeance. At 3 o’clock yesterday afternoon a steady warm breeze was blowing from the south. In less than an hour the wind had switched and a cool breeze from the north set in. There w r as a perceptible change in the atmosphere w’ith the first gust. The temperature has fallen over 40 degrees and still continues to fall. The following telegram was re ceived from an Atlanta weather of ficial this morning: Rain, probably turning to snow- to-night. Temperature will fall to freezing or lower. Tuesday fair, except showers on the coast. Continued cold. REV. R.W. SANDERS RESIGNS.

His letter was full of love and ap preciation for the kindness show-n him during his four years service as pastor. The resignation was not altogether unlooked for, but it was with feelings of regret that the cone fcrence heard the letter read. Th- members of the church are loathe to give Mr. Sanders up. Between him, as pastor, and his people there is a strong bond ot love and friendship. For four years he has labored hand in hand and heart to heart with them, and when the bond is broken there will be pain in the hearts of many. But Mr. Sanders’ friends are not confined to the Baptist Church. He numbers them by the score in Florence, and Florence as a com munity will watch his departure with sincere regret. Since coming in our midst he has impressed everybody with his scholarly at tainments, his ability as a preacher and his earnestness and zeal in all that pertains to the building up of Christ’s kingdom upon earth. Continued ill health compelled him to take the step, and from here he wi'l go to Greenville county. The members of the Baptist Church and the citizens of Florence as a whole will bid him and his family God-speed. Florence Conntj Teacher* Organise.

St. Paul, Minn., Nov. 29.—The intensely cold weather which pre vails in the stormswept districts of the northwest has brought on intense suffering, and the death list of four is expected to be in creased unless milder weather seta in. At Moorhead, Minn., Thos Anderaor, a young man, after helping 0 woman to her home at tempted to reach his own, but perished and now lies buried in the drifts. At Devils Lake, N. D., Henry Burroughs of St. Paul, a mail clerk, started to walk to t'»v from a slalled train. He never reached there. ..FFargo, N. D., Frank Vach ofCnicago, was frozen on the prairie, a mile from town. At Churches Ferry, N. D., a trainman attempting to get help for a tram load of cattle was froz en stiff. Ten carloads of sheep destined for Chicago were frozen at urand Harbor, Devils Lake. The November which is just clos ing, is the coldest in the north west for 15 years. Snow fell on the fourth of the month and has not since disappeared even for a day. There is great suffering on the stock ranges and thousands of cattle will be killed if the weather con tinues cold. On the range w^stof the Missouri river, the temperature is from 5 to Qj degrees below- zero, and below zero at all points in the Dakotas At Feraiilliorv hardly a tree standing and every orchard is ruiued. In many in stances trees a foot in diameter were snapped off at the bottom. Every telegraph and electrical line in town was prostrated and it will have no lights until next week. Reports from the railways in dicate that they are running near ly on time again to-night. Far mers coming in from the ranges west of the Missouri eav the loss to stockman so far is not great, as when the storm broke the beeves found fair shelter in the valley. The weather, however, is still very severe, sub-zero temperatures be ing reported all over Minnesota and the Dakotas. Unless there is a decided rise in temperature in the next few days the loss among sheep and cattle will be very large as the streams are freezing over so solidly that it will he hard for them to get water. ■ ' • 4 Bov. R. H. Moseley’» Lecture. Rev. R. H. Movseley, returned foreign missionary from Mexico, delivered an interesting and in structive lecture in the Baptist church last night on “People of Mexico, Their Government, Reli gion and our Missions in that Country.” He related the most important instances of his seven years’ experience with the Mexi cans and aroused the congregation to a sense of duty by laying special stress upon the domination of the Catholic priests in that country. Rev. Moseley did not return to this country of his own accord, but wasj expelled from the Mexican bourn dary by an instigation perpetrator by the Catholic priests on accouni of his outspoken animosity for theij heathenish customs. HU earnr wish is to return to Mexico preach to those whom he hj learned to love. He is now past of the Baptist Church at Rock Hi Successful merchants attest value of advertising.
