Fire in Franklin.

says:
Last Fri;'ay evening, soon after sun
down, a lad employed in Mcssrs. Per-t
g. Frere's Drug Store, in this place. went
into the store house with 4 light to draw
scrs kerosine oil, when the oil su,ldcnly
took fire. and ina b,i.f space Of time,
the building and all ofi:s H. sEly inhama
bic and c':r,b"sLble contents were
wrapped in flames. The fire bell rang
AZ, ! III a brief space Of time the cns;ll.
company were on the spot w:tA the fire
engine, Nr. b. C. Smith in commau,l.
ana Nr. jim Black in charge of the hose.
Briefly TIE we'll at Evins' curuer was
emptietl, then the well at Smiths corner.
then the engine was put at the bank Of
the Bayou. the long bose extending q
across one block and two streets to the,
drug store, where the fire was raging.
A general c"nfiagration, like that Of
February 20, was threatened. The in
habtants of the town, white aud black
hochcd to the scene where the flames
were raging, AMI brave,y did they con-
tend with the threatening element. The
black people as usual did themselves
great credit. They lahored with AZ
much zeal as the hest white men, aud
the iiIenlen and citizens give them great
praise.
The engine and hose worked we'll.
Had it not been for the new hose pur-
chased last year it is probable that the
whole of that part of the town endan-
gered by tue fire would have been de-
stroyed, and it is impossible to know
where the destruction of property would
have stopped.

May the impulse of generosity never
De checked by the power of necessity.
May we always forget When We for
give al, injury.
May the feeling heart posses the for

May we draw upon content for the de-
flclvnciss of fo.tuue.
May hope ne thy physician when Gala
mltv ia the disease.
May the single be married. and marry
happy.
