REAL ESTATE AUCTIONEERS.

IMPORTANT sale of VALUABLE LOTS
in the hourishing town of SENECA CITY,
at the crossing of the Air Line and Blue
Ridge Railroads beginning on WEDNES-.
DAY, I1th day of August, IL o'clock, and
continuing from day to day until the entire
property is disposed of. This will afford an
opportunity for purchasers to buy the un-
sold Lots, many of which are very desira-
BILE, in this healthy and fast improving town.
Seneca City possesses peculiar advantages
in being located in one of the most healthy
sections of the world, with a full supply of
Pure Free Stone Water. Located within the
Cotton Belt, it must command good trade
in that staple, as we'll as the rich harvests
gathered in the valleys of the Seneca and
Tugaloo Rivers. Conneross, Cane and Mar
tin Creeks and Little River afford numerous
and extensive Water Powers, within a few
miles of the city, which, taken in connec..
ton with the fact that extensive Beds OF
Fine Iron Ore and Rich Gold Mines are
found near by, insures the success of the
place, and, before many years shall lapse, it
will undoubtedly be the largest city in the
Western section of South Carolina. .
Parties in want of Pleasant Home, will
do we'll to attend the sale, which will be
without reserve, on the following terms:
One-third cash; balance in two equal pay
ments of four and eight months. Purcha-
sers to pay for papers.
Arrangements will be made with the
Railroads to take parties attending the sale
at reduced rates of fare.

FIRE.

On last Tuesday morning, about half
past eight o'clock, the residence Of Mr.. j.
B. Clark was discovered, by the ladies of
the house who were alone, to be on fire.
The smoke in some of the rooms was
very dense, and was issuing rapidly from
the top of the house. Soon after the
alarm was given the crowd assembled,
and by diligent work succeeded in sup
pressing the fire before very great dam
age had been done. The escape from a
burning was indeed a narrow one, the
danger being so imminent at one time as
to cause them to remove nearly every
thing from, the burning house into the
streets. The fire must have originated
from matches set on fire by rats, as it
caught down stairs between tho parlor
and back room and burned upwards
between two pieces of studding which
served as fue to carry the flames up
wards. Mr.. Clark was not insured, and
his loss reaches several hundred dollars.
Had the fire occurred in the night it is
more than probable the house would
have been consumed. The frequency of
fires in our midst should call the atten-
ton of our town authorities to the SUBJ
iect of having some regulations tending
to reduce the danger as far as possible.
If it is impossible to do anything more
there might be set Of town ladders pro-
vided for use on these occasions. If the
lightning rod wagon of Messrs. Byruml
q McGrath had been out of town 1t would
have been very difficult to have reached
the ton of Mr.. Clark's house and the
flames might not have been subdued. II
a set of ladders were provided and kept
ia some central place they would there
by avoid the danger of being unable to to
reach top of buildings, and might be
found of great use in time of fire.

a MODEL GRANGE.

We do not propose to devote this article
to the praise of an organization, as the cap
ton would seem to indicate, but we use the
word grange in its original sense, and our
present reference is to the model farm of
our esteemed and energetic friend, B. F.
Crayton, Esq, the wide-awake President of
our Agricultural Society," who is so widely
known as an encourager and promoter of
progress in farming. On Saturday last, a
number of ladies and gentlemen were invi-
ted to spend the day with Mr.. Crayton and
his family, who arranged for a pic mic occa-
sion to close the labors of the summer, pre-
paratory to the in-gathering of bountiful
and fruitful crop. AS is well known to
many of our readers, Mr.. Crayton is en-
ploying German laborers exclusively this
year, and the pic mic was mainly intended
for thir benefit. The families employed by
him were brought directly from Germany,
and include three men with their wives and
children, numbering altogether twenty
three persons, and making q working force
of ten or twelve. Their industry and thrift
is everywhere apparent and the experiment
has proven decided success, which has
induced Mr.. Crayton to make a further ven
ture in this direction, as we learn that other
families are now engaged by him to come
out this fall,
The occasion to which we refer was one of
purely social enjoyment, and when the
morning had passed away in animated con-
versation with and about the Germans, we
were invited to partake of an excellent din
ner at the spring, under the wide-spreading
oaks, to which ample justice was rendered.
A number of the invited guests were famil-
lar with the German language, and we have
no doubt this added much to the enjoyment
of Mr.. Crayton's employees, who were made
to feel that the day was set apart for their
special benefit. 1t was not long after din
ner until the crowd were invited to the
house, and the afternoon was spent in dane
ing, which was participated in to a large ex-
tent by the Germans, although some Of our
native-born citizens "tripped the light fantas-
tic" with considerable vigor. The entire
time was an unalloyed pleasure, for which
we have to thank our generous host and his
excellent family.
We understand that Mr.. Crayton intends
at an early day to erect new dwelling upon
his farm, and the prospect is that he will
take up permanent residence at Gentrys-
vile. His devotion to farming, and tho
great success which has attended his efforts,
make him anxious to provide comfortable
quarters for old age, and we trust that he
may long enjoy the fruits of an honorable
career.
