tance from the place where his body
was found and was the last person to

NOTICE.
Dr. C. P. Os teen bas. removed from
bis former residence on West Liberty

Small Fire Sunday Night.
The fire department wa9 called oat
about 10 o'clock last Sunday
nigbtby an alarm of fire from
the residence of Mr. N. G.
Osteen, on West Hampton avenue,
but by tbe time the bose wagons arriv?
ed and stretched a line of hose-and
they got there on record time-the fire
was under control and it was not
necessary to tarn on the water. The
fire originated from some unknown
cause in a closet on the second floor,
under the stairway leading to the attic,
in which was stored blankets, towels
and bed and table linen not in regular
use and no one had been in the closet
for sometime. When the fire was dis?
covered the whole interior of the closet
was burning and the attic was so filled
with smoke that the whole upper
part of the house appeared tobe burn?
ing. The fire, however, had not burn?
ed through the walls of the closet and
a few buckets of water promptly applied
put out the fire. The damage was
not great. Mr. N. G. Osteen had his
face and hands blistered by the outrush
of the flames when he opened the
closet door to throw water on the fire.
Correction.
In tbe minutes of last Council meet?
ing the report of the action in the
matter of refunding deductions to the
Electric Light Co., the statement
appeared that on Mr. Chandler's
motion the amount was refunded with
the understanding that in the future
there would be no deductions. It
should have read, in future no deduc?
tions will be refunded. The omission
cf the word "refunded" completely
misstated what was really done.
The candidates for county offices are
beginning to line up. Rumor has it
that Supervisor Seale, who will be a
candidate for reelection, will have op?
position, two well known citizens
being spoken of as probable candidates.
It is said that Sheriff Scarborough
will not seek reelection, but there will
be no dearth of candidates for this
office, which now pays a substantial
and attractive salary, in addition to
certain fees, and there are three or
four aspirants spoken of. Clerk of
I Court Parrott will seek to succeed
[ himself, but it is confidently predicted
i that he will not have an open field,
I but as yet no one has been spotted-as
I a candidate. The possible candidates
! in opposition to County Treasurer Lee
and Auditor Wilder are- not generally
! discussed, and by some it ia believed
that they will not have opposition, but
that remains to be sees.
