O'clock Saturday morning. In less than
two minutes both engines were hurrying
in the supposed direction of the fire,
and in three minutes werein front of
Mrs. Porter's residence, which was
thought to be burning The engines
were there, but the other essential was
wanting. Not drop OF water could be
found in hose length of the place. The
failure of the water works to supply wa

if the house had really been burning,
it would have been lost for the want of
water.

Another free school has been opened
on the pike near Shepperd Il Harrison's
store, and is under the charge of Miss

that portion of our town stood greatly
in need of a school, and we know OF no
one more competent to take charge OF it

will meet with that success as teacher
which her merits so richly deserve.
Owing to the political speaking in this
place last Saturday, tire railroad meet
ing of colored people was deferred until
some future time. When 1t does take
place, we hope all the colored people
will he present, as the building OF this

tunity to obtain liberal rewards for their
labor near home without having to go
off to Alabama and other places to get
it. As it benefits them, it will also ben

gets good wages and cor slant employ
ment, they will spend their money
among the merchants and in buying
supplies for their families. In this way
the benefits will spread throughout the
whole community.
Sheegog and Son advertise more new

BARNUM's Great Show will be here on

outdoes everybody in the show line, our
