Tho houso being ot wood the flames did their destructive work so rapidly that tlio llromon could bo of littlo assistance. The live stock and vehicles1 woro saved. Tho houso was insurod for two huudrod and fifty dollars. Tho general bpliof Is that tho Uro was of Incendiary origin. It is dilllcult to Imagine that it could liavo been acci dentally started at that hour oT the night. Tho fact that Mr. Iludgons has lost two other hous?s by lire since Christ mas and that an attempt, to burn his waro houso was made some eighteen months ago 8001118 ground lor suspicion that some scoundrel who has a grudge against him Is tho author of the dovil mont.

The frequent rains have caused General Green to supersede the "Indian Doctor." Our farmers say that he is wielding Iiis power with no semblance of humbugery. "They say" that the latest surgical mira cle that tho "Indian Doctor" has performed was extracting a turtle weighing forty pounds from the intestines of a reputable and well known citizen residing in tho North eastern portion of Laurons county. The gentleman has tho "cooler" to show for itself and will keep it as a memento. The health of our community is not so good now. The M. D's tell us there are many cases of sick ness not of a serious nature, with tho exception of our our young friend Mr. Ernest G. Fuller, who is very sick with typhoid fover.

Seeing nothing from our little town for some time I have conclud ed to write again for wc would not have you think that our people arc growing careless in regard to duty as well as pleasure. At present farmers are very much rushed with their work, there being so much rain the grass has grown considerably, even more th?n the cotton. But we think that with a little more hard labor and a few more fair days that they will soon succeed in killing the grass and ieave a beautiful stand of cotton. Several of our people, old and young, went to Spartanburg last week to attend Commencement at Wollbrd College, some have re turned and report a grand time. Mrs. Williamston Martin of Lau rens, and Mr, Sitgreaves of Tenn., spent one day last week with Mr. M. Fleming's family. Last third Sunday was a big clay for Lanford it being children's day at the Methodist Church and regu lar preaching day at the Baptist Church. The occasion*l>rought to gether a large number of people, both churches could scarcely hold all present, and well they came, for the services were well worth listening to. Mnj. D. R. Duncan, of Spartanburg, delivered an ad dress to the children in the after noon which was good indeed. Brother E. C. Watson, pastor of the Baptist Church, tilled his ap pointment and preached a most ex cellent sermon in the morning to a large and attentive congregation, many of the old members say, it was the best sermon that they have heard for a long time, and that if brother Watson lives to be quite an old man he can never beat it. The Baptists certainly have a right to feel pround of their noble pas tor. The ladies of thc*Baptist Church of this place have orgtoflfcjcd a work ing society which meets once a month. They arc getting on nicely with their work; the proceeds will go for benevolent purposes or the spread of the Gospel. Wc are sorry to report that Miss Bertie Ferguson is very ill at this writting. Since our last writing three deaths have occurcd in our town and vicinity recent. First was the sad death of little Harrison, son of Mr. and Mrs. W. II. Drummond, which occurcd some weeks ago. Harrison was a bright little boy of six summers, and greatly loved by all who knew him. He was buiried in the Cemetery at Lanford on Sunday, and funeral preached by Rev. J. A.Martin, of Laurcns. How sad, yet, how glorious the thought that he is in Heaven to day. Just one week before his burial he was at Sabbath School apparently in good health and playing fondly around his lather's knee and with his little school males. The scene on the day that this little boy was buried was sad indeed; just as the bereaved family and relatives marched slowly up one aisle of the church and the lit tle body of Harrison was being borne up the other followed by sonic of his school mates ami friends carrying flowers to pay their last tribute of love to their dear little friend, the choir sang sweetly and softly "Shall we meet beyond the river,'' but as wc sat there in the church with tearful eyes and swell ing hearts the lesson was taught, "Be ye also ready." The second was the dcalii of lit tle Mamie, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. R. P. Milam, which occurcd on Saturday before the third Sun day in JWay. This was another solemn occasion which was wit nessed with sad hearts. Little Ma mie was beautiful in life, but was still more beautiful in death. Be fore she was taken ill on Monday afternoon, siic had the line of health in her cheeks, it did not come with in the range ol human nought or anticipation that hpr death could be so near, but congestion of the brain attacked her suddenly with malignant force, and in spite of all that could be done by medical skill, in spite of all the prayers of grief stricken hearts and all the ministra tions of loving hands, did its fatal work in less than one week. She was buried at Old Field Church on Sunday. The third was that of an infant of Mr. and Mrs. McDanicl which died last Friday jvjornij^g uupj j,s day was dawning the little soid took its lliglit into Heaven where it now rests on Jesus bosom, and has joined with its little sister, who proceeded it a few months before. To each of the bercayc<| apd grief stricken families wc would say: Weep not for your little ones, they arc sate in the arms of Jesus. Gbraldink. Ayer's Hair Vigor is a universal boautifler.

This occurred on the the Spurtanburg side; the commissioners should at once have this obstruction removed and the road opened out to tho lawful width at this point as it is a very dangerous place. C. THE ItEAPElt DEATH. Dr. W. J, Alexander Succumbs to a Stroke of Paralysis* On Monday night Dr. W.J. Alex ander had a severe stroke of paral ysis and remained in an uncon scious condition until 10 o'clock on Wednesday night, when lie quietly passed away. From the first there was no hope entertained of his re covery, and there was hut little for his physician and friends to do ox cept to wait for the final Olid. He had been unwell for about a week provious to this attack and had re mained pretty closely at home, but thought so lightly of bis indispo sition that ho did not call in the services of his physician. He was born in 1848 in Georgia but for nearly twenty years had been a resident of this State. Ho graduated with distinction at Mer cer University and after that took the regular course in the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary, with tho intention of devoting his life to the work of the ministry. His first charge was at Edgofield, from which place he removed? to to Darlington in 1877, having re ceived and accepted a call to the Baptist church at this place. While here his sermons, by their striking originality and depth of thought attracted marked attention, and the clear and lucid manner witli Which he would analyze and bring out the salient points of his text easily placed him in the front rank of tho ministers of his denomina tion. Even those who could not entirely subscribe to Iiis views were compelled to admire the log ical and forcible manner witli which he presented them. In 1882 Dr. Alexander's ability received recognition by his elec tion to the chair of Ethics and Chris tian Science in the South Carolina College. It is almost needless to any that be filled tho position with credit both to himself and the in stitution. During his incumbency of this professorship, finding that he could not subscribe to all the doctrines that were recognized as the creed of his denomination *he, with tho courago and candor that were characteristic of his nature, withdrew from its communion and connected himself with the Unita rian Church. This change and the intense political animosity that prevailed at the time, forced him, about two years ago to resign Ids position in the College, and was in strumental in his entering on a business career, whioh gave every promise of success had his life been spared. After his retirement from tho collego ho, very much to tho grati fication of his numerous friends here, made Darlington Iiis home. Confidence in bis business capacity was so great that he was oloctod president of the Phosphate Com pany, which, ho was largely instru mental in organizing, and managed its affairs to the entire satisfaction of the stockholders. He had only a few months ago moved into a new house, where in the midst of a happy family circle there was every reason to hope that ho would spend many happy days, and his dying just In the prime of life is a sad blow not only to Iiis family, but to bis large; circle of friends us well. In the private and social relations of life ho wa.j , a model in every respect^ ;,nd it is in these tht\t ftp \yill no most sorely missed. 110 Was modest and unas suming in his manner, and nil who came in contact with him were im pressed by the courtesy that ho ex tended alike to all, it mattered, not whether friend or tityanger, He loaves a \y|iv. and thyoo children, Tlio interment look plaoo yester day afternoon at the Unptisl Cem etery, the following gentlemen act ing as pail bearers.
