They had een down to tee his sister, HieC W Warren, who is quite sick at i at Neyle’s. bit* one. It is not known how the fire origi nated. Daniel Green, a Negro in pasaing saw the flames and gave Hie alarm, hut the tire had gained such headway that it was impossible to do anything towards saving the st ;re or any of the stock of goous. Messrs Bailey and Bryan moved their goods out of their stores, fully cx- I>ecting they would be burned, and for a time it looked as if nothing could save the building. Chief Dixon about this time ably assisted by sev eral young men had secured the hose recently purchased by the town and had coupled it to a hydrant in front of Witsell’s store, and soon had a stream of water pouring on the burning roof of Bryan’s store. Hud this store burned it is probable that the entire block up to Shaffer’s corner would have been destroyed, for the buildings along here are close together. Too much praise cannot he given, the brave boys who risked themselves to stop this fire. Mr. vonLehe carried about $2250.00 insurance on building and stock, and while this will not cover near all his loss it will be a great help towards rebuilding. When seen yesterday by a representative of this paper, Mr. vonLehe said he did not know just what he would do, but he thought he would possibly jegin rebuilding at once. Mr. Jno. F. Lucas has offered him the use of he vacant store formerly occupied )V himself to use till he can rebuild, and he may avail himself of the gen erous offer. We give credit, with pleasure, to Clarence Robinson, the night opera tor of the local Telephone Company for the promptness in which he gave the fire alarm. commencing V ** Monday, Feb. 1, TO. AT S.

On August 30, ’08, I contracted cold and developed Grippe and was laid up fiive weeks. My bronchial tubes were badly af fected, which caused me to cough continually and prevented my sleeping at night. I tried all the old remedies which usually gave me relief but failed. Johnson’s Chill and Fever Tonic was recommended to me as a guaranteed cure for grippe and colds and I was pursvaded to try it. After taking |t according to directions for one week, I found myself entirely cured of my cold and grippe, and my sys tem in first-class condition. I regard it as one of the best medi cines I have ever used ir my family and can cheerfully recom mend it to anyone suffering from a like trouble or general debilitated system. B. G. BENTON.
