The Fire Fjcusl,

Last saturday morning about four
O'Clock, the large brick building known
as 1.-THE Ark" was discovered on fire.
The engines were out promptly, las they
always arel but the fire had too much
Roadway to be checked or uuenched. and
the entire building was cons umed. The
Christian church was very near, but il is
a brick building, and the heroic efforts
of the two fire companies saved it from
the flames. The fire first caught in an
adjoining frame building. owned bv Mr..
II. III. Jamison, and occupied By Mr.. J.
X. Powell. Billy Moore, who generally
slept in the grocery, was absent the night
of the fire, and it is impossible TO tell how
the fire occurred, whether accidently or
the work of an incendiary. Mr.. Jamison
was insured in the Pacific Company for
$1,000; his loss is about $500 above insur-
ance. Mr.. Powell was insured in the
-Etna Company for s., 900; loss about 500
above insurance. Messrs. T. w. keesee
and Ed. Williams, owners of the ARK, ="
were insured for $4,000 in the Pacific;
loss about $500 above insurance. The
Calvert brothers, who were occupying
the Ark" saved everything, we learn
Two gallant hremen, members of the
two companies respectively, had a fight,
about some trivial matter We are sor-
~ TO see so much feeling getting mp be-
tween the Companies. They should be
proud, not jealous, of each other. in their
noble work.
Last "Wednesday night, as the people
were worshiping in the churches, anoth-
ser alarm of fire was given, and much OK
eitement prevailed. IL proved to be a
false alarm. Some colored people were
burning straw on or near Pulaski street.

1cOMNUNICATED.l

Mr.. EDrToR:-Tm proud that I'm a
citizen Of the county Of Maury. I have
always been proud of the noble spirit
manifested by the good people OF old
Maury. But would DO prouder still,
could see and know that the interest,
which has been and is now being mani
tested by few who haveorganized them
selves into society for the purpose of
erecting a monument to the memory OF
tho Confederate soldiers who have fallen
upon Maury county soil, and whose re-
mains are here inferred, is sufficiently
folt by every man and woman who claims
the right Of citizenship in tho county, in
whose breasts there remains one spark
of the fire that burned upon the affairs Of
the hearts OF those who fell, to cause
them to act with view to the accom-
plishment of the purpose contempla-
ted by the "Maury County Memorial
Association" Many brave sons of the
South fell within our limits, whose
names were blotted as it were from the
roll, by the blood they shed, and to-day
have their silent homes In the various
graveyards over the county. They, too
shall have home with the boys Of our.
youth, and with our fireside companions,
and the boys who bravely bore the spirit
of old Maury upon many a bloody battle
field, fell by their sides, and shall share
with them the memory stone that shall
tower in their midst. Next Tuesday, if
we mistake not, is the time of the next
regular meeting of the Association. We
do trust that there will be q full atten-
dance of tho Board, and that further
means will be employed for the accom-
plishment of this noble purpose We
see from report that some Of the ladies of
the county have done good work. Can
not this be done by many others? We
hope to hear soon that new and vigorous
efforts are being made in various parts of
the county to raise money to erect this
monument. Let me ask you, good citi-
zens of Maury, do you not think It's due
those who fought for you, who bled for
you, and who died for you, and their
country? Then remember their lives, re-
member their death, and forget not their
dust.
On Friday, the 5th of May, at four
o'clock in the afternoon the ladies will
assemble at the Confederate graveyard,
ut Rose Hill, bringing with them fiow-
ers, to strew about those silent beds,
those "types OF resurectiOn's day." lis
hoped that as heretofore there will be q
a largo attendance. THEIR FRIEND.

BACK BAND DISTRICT ITEMS.

The farmers are very forward with
their crops. Wheat and oats look very
fine.
The people are very anxious to have a
turnpike. All are willing to take stock,
yet they are not able to build it without
some assistance. If We want Columbia
to improve, we must pay more attention
TO our county roads, by helping the third
district to finish the pike from Fountain
Creek to Berlin, s miles. We would
then get the trade from Marshall county,
which will amount to thousands of dol
lars. 1t now goes to Nashville. To build
the pike it will not cost over one thou
sand dollars per milo. Every property
holder that wants to enhance the value
ofhis property should take stock. All
that is needed is for some energetic gem
tleman to take the lead. Give it a start,
and by next Christmas we will have q
pike to Berlin.
Many thanks to Mr.. Purdam for
some nice, delicious Strawberries, the
first of the season.

Observation-Disclosures.

There are a number of the citizens of
our county related to the Marquis of
Lorne, who recently married tho Prin-
cess Louise, daughter of Queen Victoria.
The relationship comes through the
Campbell family Among others we
may mention, Mrs. Gen. X. $. Ew9ll,
daughter of the late Gen. Campbell, J
Capt. NJ. G. Campbell, CAPT. G.. w. Camp
befl, Argyll Campbell, Ia family name)
and Mrs. Gen. Whitthorne. The prOmi-
nent characteristics of this sound head
ed Scotch family, are equally pronoun-
ced in their American cousins. The la
dies have fine intellects, and the gen.
tlemen have shown bravery and de-
votion to principle on the battle field not
surpassed by any of the great Clan
Campbell. Captains George and Mac
Campbell, of Carter's Creek, also inherit
love for field sports, and probably no
two mon in America can excel them in
bagging game.

ance Of light and pleasantness, just lei
him call at the 'Battle House," In
Nashville, and in the person Of Gen.
Joel A. Battle, he will be more than
satisfied that we have not misdirected.
We are not mistaken when we thus
refer to this kind-hearted philanthrop-
ist. We have seen him ct Q time and
place where mems metal as well as
love for their fellow-sufferers were tri-
ed. We remember, time and again,
of the Generals having given his in
dividual parole to the Commander of
Johnson's Island in order that Eleven
Hundred of his fellow prisoners might
enjoy battle of Lake Erie. Can the
people Of the South, and more especi-
ally his comrades, ever forget that?
Where is there man among us that
would have put his own life in jeopar.
dy for so many? And when we say
this much we have only begun. His
tables gaoan with the very best; the
Office is represented by the politest Of
clerks-while the attendants upon the
boards are not to be excelled. Give
Gen Battle call the very next time
you go to Nashville, and you will be
sure to repeat it.n

DEAR INSTRUMENTATION thorough
examination on the subject of the Second
Baptist Church, Bro. Cyrus Webster pre-
sented several charges in the following or
der, against Bros. Cap. Jordan, Granville
Gordon, Milton Leftwich, and John By
ers: LIST. They have disregarded the au-
thority OF the church, by drawing off and
styling, themselves the Second Baptist
Church; I'd. They have never procured
letters of dismission from the church OF
which they are members; Sd. They have
published themselves as the Second Bap-
fist Church of Columbia, before being or
ganized as a body, and thus deceiving
the Board of Aldermen, and community
at large, also they represent themselves
as Trustees and whole congregation.
After being convinced of the wrong,
Bro. Jordan made complete acknowl-
edgement, and asked forgiveness for all
the wrung; also Bros. Gordon and Left
wich-Bro. Byers was absent. On mo-
ton, it was voted to recommend their
forgiveness on their own acknowledge
mont, before the church, and also the ig-
noration of all they did with regard to q
Second Church.
On motion, the report was received, and
after hearing the Acknowledgements of
the brothers, adopted.
On motion, Bro. John Byers' case was
deferred until the next meeting, on ac-
count of his absence.
On motion, Bro. b. Frierson was re-
quested to furnish the Columbia HERALD
with copy of these proceedings.
On motion, adjourned, when fervent
prayer was offered by Bro. Milton Loft

feeling through the whole congregation.
