Alarm of Fire. There was a great alarm, but little 6re on Tuesday morning, about 5 o'clock caused hy? the burning out of the smoke-stack of the Electric Light Works. The whistle of the Electric Light engine began a racket that sounded like an installment nf Gabriel's last 'rump, and the Baptist Church heil, which now does duty as the city time piece and fire alarm, j-ined in the refrain. It was at the time that most people are taking their last and soundest nap and few cared to turn out ij the coid and stinging morning air to learn the canse of the din, but the alarm was so long continued that a large number finally got out to see what was wrong-and they fon nd nothing. The steamer was gotten ont and had a full head of steam on in a few minutes, thanks to the precaution having been taken to keep a fire in the engine. The alarm was sounded as it was feared that neighboring buildings would be ignited by the sparks from the smoke-stack. The McKee Calendar. Mr. Geo. H. McKee, of Darlington, the inventor of the century pocket '.calendar, that bas recently been put on the market, and bas already secured for itself a wide sale and won favorable opinions from all who have examined it, is in the city. The calendar ii the product of years of study, and is a unique, and nseful invention. By its use the ?ay of the week of any month of any year within tbecentuary, past or future, can be quickly ascertained, it is simple in construc? tion and practically unbreakable, and with ordinary osage will last a life time. Mr. McKee bas secured space at the World's Pair and will there extensively advertise bis invention. Any one who bas occasion to know a date, past or future will find a McKee Calendar a good investment. The Wood Famine. A wood famine prevailed in Sumter last week, and the makeshifts resorted to in the time of distress were ludicrous to the unin? terested, bnt trying to those caught by the snow without a sn betaut ?al woodpile. It is related of one citizen, who went through the war and came back from Gettysburg with nothing more sabstan liai to impede bis retreat than a straw bat and a pair of linen trousers, that be declares tbat be was tn greater distress than at any time during his soldier days. for be could neither borrow buy nor beg wood Finally in desperation, after every thine in reach bad been barned, he pro po -ed to his better half that the high chair in which the first born had taken its place at the family board, should be offered up as a sacrifice ; but the evil moment was put off by the tender sentimentality of his good w:fe, and a colored individual happened along with an armful of greec pine wood, drawn dy an under grown ox which he reluctantly agreed to part with in caosideratioo of fifty cents cash, and thus that highchair was saved for future generations or another freeze. All over town empty barrels, boxes, old chairs, lumber, cbickeo coops and everything burnable were ruthlessly piled upon the hearthstone. Fences and gates suffered great violence, many persons following the example of a certain gentleman, wbo stole out under cover of night and made kindling wood of the lot gate. Others improved on bis method, by going out at night and stealing away with their neighbors' gates and fences, lt has also been discovered that a few hen roosts were visited by way of variety. It was only within the past f?w days that the famine b. been alleviated On the whole, however, the suffering in this city bas not been as great as in other places. Hagood Happenings. HAGOOD, S.

MACO?, Ga., Jan. 23 -Justice Lucius Quintos Cincinnatus Lamar died hereat 8, 50 o'clock this evening. It is a terrible shock to the community. His death was sud? den in the extreme Tor although be bad been ailing for some time, Justice Lamer appeared to be gradually gaining in health. He came from Washington to Macon about a month ago and has been visiting at the residence of Mr W. A. Virgin, in Vine ville, a suburb of this city. This after? noon, about 3 o'clock, Justice Lamar took his overcoat, intending to go to the city, but was met at the door by bis friend, Dr Llew? ellyn, with whom be returned to the sitting room. At tbat time and during all the afternoon be was in good spirits, and at dinner at 6.50 this evening he seemed to have x good appetite. Dr. Llewellyn left the houce nt.o?.; 8 o'clock, and a few minute* later Justice Lamar w?s sei?>d with violent pains in the beatt and died in the hour men* tioned Blight's diseuse with angina pectoris was was the direct cause ot Lamar's death, and is given by physicians as being the complica? tion tn the case. Lamar came into the city this afternoon and called at the office of Col R. B Pardee, where he conversed pleasantly on several topics. He was accompanied by Dr. Llewellyn on bis return to the residence of W. H. Virgin, who married Lamar's daughter. The attack was very severe while it lasted and Dr A R Parker, who bas been tn at ten ance, arrived only a few min?tes before death. At this time Justice Lamar was unconscious nod beyond medical aid Restoratives were at once administered, bot were entirely without avail. He died with his head on Mr Virgin's bands and appar? ently without pain, the spasm having passed off at that time. Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lama* was boro in Putnam County, Ga, September 1, 1825, and after his father's death was taken to Oxford, Miss, where be received part of bis education. He graduated at Enory College, Georgia, in 1845, studied law in Macon and was admitted to the Bar tn 184?

On March 5, 1885, President Cleveland ap? pointed Mr. Lamar Secretary of the Interior and afterward elevated bim to a seat on the Supreme Bench.

Giver under my hand, this 25th day of January, A. D., 1893. T. V. WALSH, Jan 25-2t Judge of Probate nsivi That marriage brings respon? sibilities upon the man, is understood. But, there is one responsibility that is often lost sight of. You may be a mode) husband ; and, during life, may make your bride the hap? piest of women. You do your duty ; but is that your whole duty ? The happier a woman may be during the life of her hus? band, the more keenly will she feel her position, if, dying, he leaves her unprovided for. It is the duty of every man, when he swears to love and cherish her, who is to be the partner of his joys and sorrows, to insure his life, that after death, ehe might not be left to want and misery. The small sums that a man may invest with us, that other? wise might be dissipated in trifling expenditures, are made to increase by prompt and judicious investment, to grow and bear fruit for the future benefit of himself or his family, whether he sleeps, works or plays. As the wheels of Time go 'round every revolution is adding to his store. "The Penn" is a purely Mutual Company. The best guarantee of its solidity is its record for nearly half a century.
