Peter Ladson, colored, who lives in the vicinity of the cemetery lost bis house by fire last Wednesday morn hg about 5 o'clock. The fire was beyond the fire limits, and although Ree! Squad No. 2, tarred out nothing could be done to extinguish the fi?mes, it beiog impos? sible td get a stream of water to the bouse from the nearest hydrant. In some way the report bas been circulated that there will be a special excursion to At? lanta on Thanksgiving day at a reduced rate, and ia consequence Ticket Agent Brand baa been deluged with inquiries.

Judging from the number of inquiries, there must be about a thousand people here who want to go to Atlanta on Carolina Day, and for their benefit and for the relief of Mr. Brand, who is threatened with nervous prostration and a loss of voice, it is now advertised that the rate to Atlaota on Thanksgiving Day and all other days, is j S6.60.
