BIG FIRE AT CLIO. :The Losses Said Tr Reach Near $100,000 On Thursday night of last week about 8.30, the large De arfcment store of Mr. Emanuel ternberger, was burned, also the residences of Mr. George R. Welch and Mrs Chamness. A rough estimate foots the losses at about 100,000, with some in surance. The origin is .still a mystery. THE TRUTH It is remarkable what incorrect in fluences or uncharitable conclusion? may sometimes bo drawn from wrong premises In our last issue we took occasion to compliment our fellow towoBman, Mr. D. M. D. McLeod. Thi? he richly deserved, but wo are afraid that in doing so we may have given ground to the suspicious or the uniu* formed to do nn injustice to one of our njpst efficient, energetic mid nccom raodating couuty officials. Incident ally we mentioned tho fact that Mr McLeod was engaged in recording a paper bearing dato of li)02. Such was the fact but the paper referred to was one in an action commenced in thai year but only recently disposed of, hence, under the law, could not he en tered on the records until now. Tho reason for Mr. McLeod working so many hours wns characteristic of our ever obliging, accommodating <uid po ite Clerk of Court A nun resident party was anxious lo have papcts re corded and returned to him by the earliest ninil practicable. Mr. Drake, as always anxious to comply with un reasonable request in the performance ot his efficient duties, requested Mr McLeod to <lo a little extra work in obliging this gentlemen, and Mr. Mc Leod cheerfully acquiesced. Such ar? the facts. In pnssin ; a com p) i men I on Mr. McLeod, therefore, to which he was justly entitled, we indirectly bu necetsarily complimented our Clerk, for it was his devotion to the prompt and efficient performance of his official duties that gave lise to tho local.

Happonlngs Among tho* People In Thia I'rosporoun Township. Mr. Editor;-As I have not written anything about the hail storm which assed through our section on the loth, will now pen a lew lines. ' On Saturday alter thc storm I passed through the hail stricken section, and thought then there was little or no chance only to plant over. To-day I passed through the same territory and noted some bright changes. Some of thc crops are putting lorin Under leaves while others were slow in recovering from the rough treatment. The prospects of Messrs T. P. Odom, Edward Odom and J. McB Hurley seem ed to be the gloomiest. The crops ol English Peel, Barrington, Mclnnis and E. W. Odom show signs ot new life. I did not see the crops ot Mrs. Bettie Odom, J. T. Odom, John Odom. L J. Quick, P. E. Odom and Dudley Odom on this trip, but presume they are put ting on new lile. Mr. Alex Moore and others have planted some ol their crops over. It is to he hoped that the cotton will come out even yet and make a lair yield. Don't ijct out ot heart boys, all will be well that ends well. Your correspondent had the pleasure ot entertaining one of our young mer chants during that hail storm one mile up crooked creek, which made us teel we would rather have been at home. 1 proposed we should wait until the worst was over. After waiting some io or 15 minutes we decided we had better risk our chances out on dry land. So we turned our boat homeward bound, and it you could have been anywhere on the hank you would havo thought a steam hoat was coming down the creek. Alter we had gotten out to the opening we de? cided quickly to get to the edge is possi ble, as a cyclone, as we thought was about on us. I said to my friend, "Well Billy boy, this is our only chance to get to land as quick as possible." We oared our boot as close as wc could which was '?o yards, as the water was low. 1 Now for the woods Bill." So Bill walk d out on thc moss as light as a duck, and looked back to see how I was get?, ting along. Bill can tell you the way I came out. Anyhow we reached land in time to put up a good run ol haifa mile, where we reached shelter and enjoyed ourselves in a hearty laugh at each mis fortune. Rill ran so last he tore up his new umbrella, ? told him he ought to iet it down. He said he would il he had thought ol it Well. I am glad you didn't think ol it Bill, because I could sorter keep up until your umbrella turned backwards, then you lett me too tar. When I reached the shelter I discov ered Bill was looking through the top 01 his hat. ..Hello, Bill, you look sorter ;,urple; What's the matter?" "I am sor ter cold now, and what is the matter with you? Your lace looks kinder spot ted " "Don't know without its mud." 'Well, I never heard ol a man getting in the mire and throwing mud in his lace getting out bet?re." "Well. I don't know Bill, perhaps 1 did; but, I rather think you did that when you passed me. How, hom your shoe heels. I rememl.er now since you spoke of mud 1 had to shut my eyes, just about thc time you passed by me 1 thought at the lime it was hail stones pcltering me in the face, but I noticed it all stopped when you got off a little distance. So you see that accounts tor ihe mud in my face Well, what about mud on your hack? Well, I hardly know. I wouldn'ts I'hinlr von r/>..Ul .?- ' ' ,<?.. : r.;i.> i didn't; I'll tell j'Oij hov.- V?M j 1 lit iq hci when ) oe ivei-tj -ju'.ttii . i , , . i,< t-w< ?.? on the '*.'" '? - . juin, 11 my bac!: nul si . ii u lui tue mud on my back. That's all right. I am not muddy, and not as wet as you are. Well, Bill, we will compromise now, hy consoling each other. You are sorry lor me lor hcing so wet and muddy, and running ami leaving me you say. "Yes Ebb," Well Bill, 1 am sorry tor you tor running, leaving me too, and running .0 last that you tore up your new um. irella and run through the top ol your tat, Bbb I didn't run through the top of ny hat. Well, you will have to explain satis actory, or I will tell it that way. Well, hold on Ebb. I think I can ex ilain it all O. K. You sec when I.was ?1Wt?-!?g--.Lhr^Uii^-hS3S?' woods, the hail md rain was blinding me so I could not ec good, Iran under some blackjack imLs and one of the hooks ol my "bob" :aught a limb that pulled the end ol the )ole backwards, and as 1 passed under he limb one ol the other hooks ol the job caught the crown of my hat, and I hinking the limb was pulling my hat off '. quickly caught the rim ot my hat and i.asscd on, leaving the crown of my hat Arith the hob to the limb. Don't you re nember 1 told you I had to stop there n Ihe woods? Well, that was what I itopped tor, to get my hat and bob. Well, Bill, what are you going to pay ne to stop this hail storm affair right tere? Well, Kb, you are the one that viii have to pay me, il you don't I am ure to tell about your getting so scared md what you said, so you better let up low. All O. K. Bill. I will keep mute il yon viii. Hood, that settles it. So the hail tomi passed and left Bill and I wet and old, and we pulled out for home with s much glee as two school boys.
