The fire com panics responded, but the fire hud gained such headway, and there being no water near the burning house, they could not do anything towards stay ing the course of the flames, nor could anything much be saved from the building. Mr. Miller bad no insurance on his furniture, and his loss falls heavily upon him. It is not known how the fire origi nated. SHORT LOCAL ITEMS. Mr. J. It.

Moore were born of this union. In April 1804 the husband and the father wa- killed in the terrible mine explosion in j front of Petersburg, Va., iu which so many brave Confederates lost their lives. Thus left u widow, with two small children, Mrs Warren met the situation with that true courage and fortitude so characteristic of our Southern women, and struggled bravely to overcome and better her adverse circumstances.

Every appeal to her Ur help, in need or distress, always met with a warm and generous response. Withal she had a good share of wit and humor, which, with her kindly disposition and frankness of manner and speech, made friends or all with whom she had intercourse. And during her so- j >urn in Blacksburg she endeared her self to many who shed genuine tears of sorrow at her death. For many years she was a member ! of th*- Baptist church, and only a few days preceding her death, she ex- oressed to her sister a confident be- j lief in the pardon of her sins and of j her readiness to go arid be forever ar ; rest with her Lord Besides her two j sons, she leaves a brother and sister ■ Mr. Starnes Wylie, of Gaffney, and ; Mrs John T.
