FIRE. The dwelling house of Mrs.
JONES, widow of the late EVAN JONES,
about one mile from this place, was en-
tircly destroyed by fire on Sunday even
ing last. Nothing of much value was
saved, as the only person on the prem
Uses at the time was one of the young
ladies aud a small servant girl. The
fire originated by the servant carelessly
ignitlng a match in an upper room,
when the whole box took fire, and in
her fright she threw them on the floor
where there was quantity of raw cot
ton, and the building was soon in blaze.
There was no insurance on the property,
aud the loss is estimated at 81, 900.
We understand that subscription is
now in circulation to assist the family in
rebuilding, and VIC hope our citizens viii
promptly respond to the call made upon
them and let each one remember that,
though to-day we may be in the midst
of prosperity, tomorrow we may be
thrown out upon the world and need a
helping hand.
