A Small Fire.
A email stable iti the rear of 0'Donnei] &
Co's store was discovered lo be on fire about
o'clock Friday night, and in a few minutes
tbe whole building whs io a blazu Whe'
tbe fire department arrived Graham's large
sale stable was in imminent Hanger, as it
was but a frw fee1 from lb- burning building
Three lines of hose were stretched and in a
short time the fire was extingu? hed. Nu
damage was done Graham's Stahle and the
entire loss is not great. 'thirty-five bushels
of pe-s and a lot ot forage, which were stored
in the stable were burned.
Tbe fire would have r>et?n gotten under con
trol much more quickly had the hose not
burst almost a9 soon as the water was turned
on, thereby causing several minutes delay
At nearly every fire the snme accident occurs
and to an onlooker it appears that heavier
hose is needed to stand the pressure The
city should purchase a sufficient quantity of
heavy hose to replace the light weight bose
now ic use.

j past three and five o'clock. The attraction
was the Bahy Show under the direction of
the Delgar Reel Squ*d Bazaar committee.
! Such a complete jam of people has rarely

I viously doat.ted that a baby is the most in
! teresttng creature in the world now
I doubts no more. There were about
tbirty-five hnbies exhibited, but the crowd of
mothers and other admirtrs was so great
th>it the reporter had no opportunity ot in
specting the exhibit, save f>s a whole, and
from a distance, and can therefore say noth
ing about beauty of the future women of
Sumter or how handsome the little men
are.
The judges performed their difficult and
dangerous duties with rare and deliberation
and very wisely decided that the announce
ment of the prize winners would not be
made immediately. t<ut at the Bazaar last
