The batkery was a double frame house joat back ot Mr. White's dwelling, and was very near several frame buildings, and tharc was great danger of the fire spreading. The fire companies re spomged very promptly to th? alarm and splendid work. The fire wa~s ex ti,.nri=hed t,efore :ha flames could spre~ad and only one-half ot the house was burned. No one was in the bakery at the time, but it is supposed that the fire originated from the explosion of a kerosene stove which had been lighted at eight o'clock. About thir teen. barrels of flour were lost. Those livios near the fire were packed and ready to move out, as it was not thonght possible to prevent the fire fro.u s,reading. The firemen deEerve great credit for their splendid work. A RR ESTED FOR EMBEZZLEMIENT. Mr. J C. P. Williams, postmaster at Ridgewa. , was arrested on Friday by DThputy U. S. Marshal Thornton :0n the cuerge of embezzlement. Wil hisms is charged with appropriating $88 to this own use. For some time past ttbe people of Ridgeway have been suspecting Wiilliams of dishonesty and 'r. p-ostffice inspector has paid severs visits to the office lately for the purpose of finding ont the truth. Williams was taken before Commis sionen Jennings in Columbia and gave a $500 bond and was released. The case will come up before the United States Supreme Court in April. Wil liams was appointed postma;ter when McKinley became president, and is a Republican. He was postmnaster at Ridgew ay several years ago and gave perfect satisfaction then, but since he was appointel the last time has uot attended strictly to the office and has. given the Ridgeway people much cause for complainit.

On awakening oni the morning of the 12th inst. one could easily imagineo hemselves to have been spirited from their now sunny southland to the icy regions of the north. Sleet and rain having fallen the day and night previous, encasing everything in ice, mother earth presented a scene both petresque and beautiful. We were virtually within the bounds of Iceland. cording to DeVoe's prediction we tnay expect a month of intensely co1fd weather. The holidays passed off quietly ndeed, so far as social features are encerned. Not even a wedding to report. In this our neighboring towns are ahead, but then we have no real ld maids or bachelors yet. Several of jthe young ladies found pleasure in bird bunting. As an in ducement, the young men offered them the privilege' of carrying the game. The teachersare interested in their work again. Edacat,on is so ennob ing and uplifting, parents should take more interest in the education of their children.
