Mr.. EDIToR.-We hope that from the
dearth of locals from Greensboro, for
the past few weeks, you have not come
to the conclusion that the people have
succumbed to the cheated term" for
with the exception of two or three cases,
we have passed through the intense heat
very successfully, and those exceptions
were not very serious; but we cannot
arrive at any otherconclusion than this
that the scarcity of interesting items is
owing to the fact that the people have
been so far overcome by the heat that
they lack the requisite vitality to get up
a irst-class s''smash-up" or free fight.
We don't wish for all these things to
happen for the sake of grazing the COL
umns of the MONITOR, but we do hope
the people will not throw up the sponge
just yet. We would like to let outsiders
know occasionally that we are alive.

detective chimney or stove pipe, in which
the house, shed and barn of Elmore
Bartlett was completely consumed, to-

very little clothing, few chairs and a
a few dishes were saved. 1t was Just
after dinner; Mrs Bartlett had been
washing, and had rousing chip fire,
and while waiting for some water to
heat, went into the field to help her hus-
band to spread out some hay. In
fifteen minutes the flames were coming
through the roof. Everything was so
dry and burned so rapidly that it was
impossible to save but little.
