snowy pillows of repose, were awakened
to the dreadful and alarming reality that
the houee was on Are. Capt. Foster and
wife occupied room on the first floor,
and were the first to be aroused by the
strange noise in the kitchen, which
sounded like the falling or rattling of
tin vessels. Capt. Foster opened the
back hall door and was met with a dense
volume of smoke, shutting the door, at
once, informed his wife, who then ran
up stairs to the bed room of their daughters,
Misses Isabel and Mary Emma.
Miss Bertie Hix was spending the night
with them. TV you - g ladies dressed as
fast as p^.sib.e, gathered a few jewels
and apparel and rushed for the stairway.
Miss Hix was first to flDd the head of
the stairs; Miss Isabel followed, but
Miss Mary Emma being more blinded
by the smoke, failed to see the steps and
walked into the open door of a room
Just then the blaze revealed to her the
stairway, .then she ran down and was

Most young ladies under similar circumstances
would have b:^en panic stricken.
By the time the entire family and#a
servant got out, the house was wrapped
in flames, and by the time the Are company
reached there the house was too
near burned, aud the only thing to be
done was to try to save the other buildings
on the lot Thus quickly the abode
of a happy family was reduoed to ashes
There was litUe or nothing saved from
the flre; the loss is simply irreparable,
family relics, heirlooms, the accuipula*

Mi-s Florence McGowan died at the (
home of Mr. Sam Littlejohn wiili whom
she lived, last Wednesday night. Miss
Florence was a young lady possessed
with a sweet and kind disposition and
had many friends and no enemies. She
had been ill with that deceptive but very
fatal disease, consumption, for Severn1
months, and to her physician and tam.lv
it was very evident that she couid not
recover, but to her it seemed different.,
and she was hopeful till the last. She
was for many years u consistent membtr
of the Presbyterian church and her remains
were carried to her church on the
following day after her death, where the
funeral services were conducted by Dr.
B. G. Clifford of Union, and then they
were laid to rest in the cemetery at Gilead
in presence of a large number of relatives
and friends, Two brothers and
two sisters, besides other relatives survive
her.
The sad news reached Jonesville last
Friday of the burning of Capt. A. H.
Foster's handsome dwelling in Union.
