The Mountain, on Fire.

A terrific fire ragged in the Cherokee
mountains, South of town, from last
Thursday might to the next Monday
morning. The burning of log-heaps and
brush-piles in a clearing is supposed to be
origin of the fire. The mountains were
swept with the flames for several miles.
every thing d. burning like tinder-even
the green pines being stripped of the
foliage. There was not any like an or
ga~nization to dispute the progress of the
destroyed until Saturday morning, when
the citizens turned out en- masse and
worked with some system and order.
By firing different districts they deprived
the mass of flames of food and they finally
yielded TO their persistent efforts.
Although the fire come near several
houses skirting the base Of the noun
tains, we are happy to say none were des-
troyed and all the fencing escaped. The
only loss we can hear of is a Saw-MiI
carriage belonging to Mr.. Thomas Scott.

Too Poor to take a Paper.

A man of a family told us. the other
day, that his necessities were so ntlIaer-
Gus and his purse so gaunt he was not
able to take a paper. He had a great de-
sire to do so OIL q of his children.
for he esteemed the newspaper an invalu-
able educator.
Let us see," we replied. "How much
do you spend a day for tobacco?"
"Ten cents"
"How much DO you spend for stimu-
lants?
II take two drinks on an ayerae which
costs twenty cents"
"Then you spend thirty cents a day for
articles not essential to your health and
comfort, and your children derive no advan
tage. from this expenditure. The price of a
weekly newspaper is generally two dol
lars which you can pay by abstaiping
from drinks and tobacco, just one week.
Thus you see, by This little sacrifice on
your part you will secure reading matter
for your family a whole year. Now are YOU
too poor to take a paper?"
His answer,was a broad laugh .stiIat
and nothing more"
If he will tell It's in earnestness and can
dor, s'he is too poor to take a ewspaper''
