I The City Council lias ordered two addi j iii,u,tl ?rc lights 10 be put up by the Electric i Light Cu.

There was n ?mali tire at tl.e residence ff Mr.-. ; Mrs Emma DeLorme early Saturday morning, j The iirt: started nuder the hearth in one or j the t,ed rooms and h id bural a saudi bole in the floor before it was discovered. The fire was extinguished without much trouble, j The damage will ne covered by a sccail ! amount. The bouse had a narrow escape ; from destruction, and had the fire not bee-t ? discovered just at the right time, ibe damage j would have been lunch greater. Mr. W. E. Lea, one of itu- regular tobacco bu)ers on ibis market, shipped a car load of tobacco to a Danville manufacturer Satur? day morning. County Supervisor Dinkies has completed i an inspection td eli the railroad crossings on the public roads in the county. He found 1 the crossings in first class condition, with a I few exceptions. The record of tLc increase ia the tobacco j acreage in Sumter county has now roached j 150 acres, &. d i- yet very incomplete From I the data now obtainable, the increase in ?0 i b: . :o acreage in (bia county will not be i underestimated at 1,000 acres. Very littie interest ha3 been manifested itt : the approaching special tnuuicipai election j There- are no regularly announced candidates, , and all that the voters will have to go on is a ; few informal suggestions. The losses paid by insurance companies to ; indemnify policy bidders in Sumter and ; Clarendon counties during ibe \ ear IS95 ex ' ceeded $40,000. The insurance companies ; did not make very much money on their busi ; ness in this section in 1605. nevertheless lhere : must be a large profit in the insurance i.us> : ness or the companies would nut continue to ' accept the risks. It is true, however, that a . great many of the old line companies are can? celling all country risks, and property own? ers are having some difficulty in obtaining insurance on their country property. The contract has not been awarded for the construction of the new tobacco warehouse. The plans and specifications bave been pre? pared and the contractors are a! work cn : their estimates. The circus advertised ioj^ive a perform? ance here Saturday arrived Friday night, but the performance was not given, as the license fee charged by the city is $200, and a littie more than this circus cared to pay. This is the same aggregation that was published in the News and Courier as a gang of lakirs. The City Council is looking into ihe matter ot licenses, and before they have finished the investigation that has been started, some interesting developments may result. The reason for the present complication is that several persons have transacted business under one license, although each of them slum ld have paid a separate license. Mr. Ceo. F. Epperson ha3 sent to this office a specimen tit the corn he raises on his farm near this city, it is one large ear and six smaller ears, each of which was enclosed within a single shuck. With the corn speci? men came the nussage ir^ni Mr. Epperson that it was oue of seven from a single stalk of corn. Seven large ears to a stalk is a tine 1 yield, but when a farmer raises seven large ears and forty-two small ears to the stalk he is ge'ting in a fair way to break the record. No one ever thought of introducing so expensive a feature as liiborapbic color work in the da) 3 when the leading magazines sold for $4.00 a year and 35 cents a copy. But times change, and the magaitin^s change with them, lt has remained for Tbe Cosmopoli? tan, sold at one dollar a year, to put in an extensive lithographic plant capable ot' nun ting c?'JO,0U0 pages per day (oue color). The January issue presents as a frontispiece a water-color drawing by Eric Pape, illustrat? ing the last story by Robert Louis Stevenion, which has probably never teen excelld even in the pagfs of the finest dollar French periodicals. The cover of The Cosmopolitan is also changed, a drawing ol page length by ihe fatuous Paris artist Rossi, in litho grap- lc colors on white paper takes the place of the mau ilia back with its red stripe. Here? after thc cover is to be a fresh surprish each mouth. Earmsr's Meeting. Mr A. D. McXair, of Danville, N.
