NO. lO AN AGED LADY BURNED TO DEATH Miss Nancy Robertson Per ished in Flames. SUPPOSED CAUSE. The House Destroyed by Fire. Lived Near Gray Court?Occurred at Midnight?Llyed Alone?12 Miles from Here. MissNauey Robertson, agod tevenly odd years, wai> burned to death Mon day night in tlio destruction of her home by lire. She lived on a tract of land, in which sho had a life estate, which was ronted by Mr. Whitley, in a house of ante bellum oonstruotioo, about one hundred yards from the house occupied by Mr. Whitley and family. The fire was discovered about twoho o'clock Monday night by Mr. Zeno Wilson, who was siding up with a sie'e relative He hastened to the scono and aroused Mr. Whitley. When thoy reached the burning house they found it entlroly [onvcloped in flames. It was too late to rescue the lone in mate, or save aoy of the contents. The afternoon before, Mrs, Whitley carried Miss Robertson, as washer cus tom, her evening meal. It seems she was engaged in quilting, having on on hand a largo quanlty of batting. The lamp she used was without a chimney. Besides there was a great deal of other inllammlble material in the house. The reasonable supposition Is tbat In some way tho batting caught from the lamp, and Miss Robortson sultooated before she could efcape or give the alarm, it is easily conceived that her clothing may have caught from tho burnlDg batting, thus preventing her oxit from the house. It is said Miss Robertson's bones were exhumed yesterday. She had lived alone for years. Mr. John Robertson aud Mrs. Dock Armstrong of this county are her nearest relatives. MAKES A OLEAn'sWEEP.

BROTHER BOB WRITE TOICHINGLY OF OLD BILL'S MELANCHOLY END. Mule of Rare and Lovable Virtues==Story of Romance Connected With The Event. Editor, The Advertiser, Sin: it is written, "Out of the abundance of the heart tho mouth spoakoth." ?So, also, tho quill inovelli. This is ray only ex ouso for burdening you with this per sonal lamentation. The f ict is to ho plain and short, old 1UI1 is dead, Ho's sure dead, lie was a tfood old mule worth, say $lfi(). Heavy sot, blocky, good na ture i. strong and quallttod. He was one of tho few mules that would mind you wheuyou npoke to him and that wouldn't kick, .loo Hunter can tell you all about Old Hill. 1 got him from him. Ho,was a good ono (I mein the mule, not Joe?) But all this is neither hero nor there now, Va'se the mule, he's dead. He came up Monday eve ning ailing hut we thought litt'o of it a? he had oftou shown signs of ail ments bo'ore which soon passed off. Noxt morning f lound him still with out appetite and still ailing. My rule in treating a sick horse is to turn him out and let him meander for himself, and I guess it's about as good luek as any since I have lost only two in thirty years under this treatment, hav ing kopt from live to seven most of the time. Hut on this special occasion, be ing it was old Hill, my wife, would have me drench him. This I did early in the day and he went on until night [ seemingly doing as well as if it had not 1 been done. Thus encouraged she in sistod that I repeat tho dose at night, which 1 did of course. But. to her dis may and my astonishment it seemed to do him great hurl. Ho writhed and reared and plunged f arfnlly. So she hid mo stop ami lot bim alone. This I did to please hoi' and always will if it costs me a mule. But the mule never got over that shock. H-j kept up a restless tramping to and fro, forward and backward, slinging tho head and frothing till lotn in I lie nl^ht when I applied my remedy?turned him out in the pasture to moaudor. But, alas! it was us I foildd next morning ho had not meandered long. He Was dead and is dead yet Now in this sad bereave ment after it was all over with the mule and \vc had lime for rellection it was hut natural that vve ge' the horse doctor hook and diagnose tho oase. Having determined the di-ease and the different causes for same, we bogan to ?peculate as to what probably caused iIrs particularly case. Afior studying awhile to him what Bill had done to overtax his energies, the Madam spoke up with an expression of voice and feature that betokened a discovery. "Sa: !" say she, "what mule did Tone drive last Sunday." "I don't know," says F, but dodp down in my heart 1 foil sure that in that suggestion a dc:ul Bure clue had been uuearthed, He oaiue, Tom you know is tho negro boy that tends our Oftttlo aad lias n't got muph horae sonse. lie is a big, burly, dashy, hustling negro, with no better idea of what a mule can stand than an ape might have. Boside6, up to last Sunday Tone wa9 a young widower and had for some months past boen court ing a certain dusky damsel, having mcdo one or two futilo efforts lo elopo with her. Had I thought of all this lust Sunday when he asked me for a mule I certainly should have denied him. Hut as fate would have it 1 d'.da't think of It and the mule >'s dead. 1 found by inquiry that ho had borrowed a buggy from a neighbor, hitched my mule lo it and driven six miles down to Center Rftbun, caught up his prey and had hied away ten miles to Fountain Im to get a Notary to tie the knot that holds and loscns the two together or asundor as circumstances may suggest, thon four milts back home. This is not a long drive, but when we consider all the circumstances In tho case und how a frightened negro might speed in a case of elopement, we concluded that wo had logica'ly traced from effect back to cau^e, and that, the party be ing insolvent, the only comfort loft us was to write up the hymonial and tho obituary. Thus: Married on Sunday, September 27 at ?o'c'ork, Tono C'h'ldross to Miss-, -, Notory t'oblio, officiating, Died, on Tuesday following, being the *2!)th day of September, old Bill, Tone Child ress being aooossary to tho deed. But no; further Inquiry has devel oped the fact that Tone drove (leorgo and not Bill, and that George shows no signs of maltreatment nor is hg any the worse by having aided and abetted in the elopement. So Tone is married, acqultedand happy. But old Bill is dead all tho same. Br?then bob. A NEW LAW FIRM.

No ono who is acquainted with its good qualities can be surprised at the great popularity of Ohfti?ber!ftio.'? Cough Remedy. It not only cures colds and grip effectually and perma nently, but prevents tueso diseases from resulting in pneumonia. It is ulso a certain cute for croup. Whooping cough is not dangerous when this rem edy is givcu. It contains no opium or other harmful substanoe and may be given as confidently to a baby as to an adult. It is also pleasant (o take. When all of these facts aro taken into consideration it is not surprising that people in foreign lands, as well as at Imme, esteem this remedy vory highly and very few are willing to take any other after having used it.
