SEVEN BUILDINGS DESTROYED BY FIHE.-Junc-
ton City has been visited by destructive fire.
1t broke out Friday morning in a saloon on Seventh
street, near the corner of Washington. 1t soon
communicated with the adjoining buildings, and
before it could be checked laid in ruin six seven
business houses, and only by the most desperate
efforts was the whole block on the west side of
Washington street saved. Thiel's new furniture
stoor stood the fire grandly, and bnt for it and
the supply of wafer in the cisterns Carver's cloth
iny house, Sargent's drug store, Hall Il Porter
wholesale drug house, and the whole row to the
pos-Jilice, must have been lost.
The buildings destroyed were formerly occu-
pied by n. $. Gilbert's feed store, only few days
ago vacated; J. X. Wrigts buildings, occupied by
a shoe shop, and Wcibers confectionery and ba-
kerry establishment, and Rice Brothers whole
sale liquor house; Green's building, occupied by
Kings billiard saloon, where the fire originated
and the corner formerly occupied by Hale's bank
and DIR. Trielaw's Office, and the upper part by
Gilb,rs & Kilpatrick's law office.
All these parties sustain some loss, hut it is
thought insurance will cOrer most of it. We can
not learn the origin of the fire. There are surIni-
sings of incendiary work.

WASHINGTON COUNTY.

The Washington Magnet learns of curious ac-
cident which happened to one of the citizens of
that County, last week. A Mrs. Hallowell, who
resides southwest of Washington, went out to
lariat horse in different position from the one
it was occupying. After the rope was united from
the post to which ii had been fastened, she be-
came entangled in it, and the animal started off
on run, dragging her some distance, inflcting
several severe wounds, from the effect Of which
she died.
The Washington Magnet regrets to learn that
Sheriff A. J. Lavering, broke his leg on Friday
morning. He and Thos. Hnmcs We're engaged
wrestling, and some way in the scufile Mr. lIumes
gave his leg a wrench breaking it close to the
kle joint. We hope to hear of his speedy recov-
cry.

Republicans Of Doniphau County

| Republicans OF D0miphan County
The Fall election will soon be upon us, when
most of the important County Offices are to be
| filed. Already candidates are at work getting
up influence and making arrangements. Now is the
time for the people who compose the party to
wake up, and determine that they will run the
thing this time-not wait until few have fixed
up things, then vote for independent candi-
dates.
The Republican party wants unity and harmo-
ny. We have almost l 600 majority in TIE Coun-
ty, and it should not Dc frtterel away by person.

fights and fends sl,culd hda5usted; the people
should look to the primary meetings, and send
good men as delegates to the Convention, who
will nominate good men and reliable Republicans
for the various Offices. Thus can he avoided the
usual cry Of packed Conventions, and check put
upon splits and bolts.
The Democracy, though largely in the minori-
ty, are actively ut work. Agents and drummers
may he found circulating everywhere, petldling
wares and trinkets, and talking Democracy. AT
almost every railroad station you will find post

best advantage in stirring mp the Democracy.
They may even be found in some of the public
Offices. They are establishing their papers, and
extending their circulation wherever they can
prryail upon q man to subscribe. These things
will all have their effect; and if the Republicans
would preserve their strength, they must work
in like manner. Let the influential men in every
nei-hl,orhood make it their business to promote
harmony, and to awaken an interest in public mat
tsrs among the people. And especially let them
use effsFts TO in,,ssc every Republican to take
Republican paper. There are three published in
the County, and every mcmber Of the party ought
to take at least one oe them-those who are able
would loose nothing by taking all three. With

Republican majority world increase, year after
