FIRE.-The frame house on the cor
ner of First street and Strawberry al
ley, owned by A. We'll, and occupied
by negroes as an eating house, was
burned about 3 o'clock last Sunday
morning. Loss six or seven hundred
dollars. No insurance. The saloon
and restaurant of James Henratty,
adjoining, was damaged by fire and
water to the amount of several hundred
dollars, covered by insurance. The
fire is supposed to have been the work
of an incendiary, and but for the efici-
ent work of the fire department would
have proved very disastrous, as several
adjoining buildings were in imminent
danger.

On Wednesday night the ladies of
the Methodist church gave a very in
teresting May entertainment at Frank
lin Hall. The management of the
affair was as usual intrusted to Mrs.
John Couts. her great success in pre-
vious undertakings Of the sort point
ing her out as beyond question the
person to carry it through.
The ladies were unfortunate in sew
eral respects. First, the gas, as so of
ten happens at Franklin Hall, struck
work and coal oil lamps had to be i'm
provised; then, by some misunderstood
ing with the hacks, two of the young
ladies who took leading parts in the en-
tertainment were detained from arriv-
ing so long that it was half past nine
before the entertainment commenced,
instead of eight. 1t is we'll known
what a trial this is to the patience of
spectators, but the audience was good
natured i'm the extreme.
The stage was beautifully dressed
and ornamented with fowery bowers
and wreaths-the Queen of May was
crowned with flowers and received the
loyal address of her willing subjects
and responded to them in choice poe
try, and gay choruses were sung and
Mrs. Couts' brigade of youth and
beauty was put through its evo-
buttons with a spirit and precision
wonderful in all, but trebly so in the
youngest members, who did not even
look sleepy-and the audience after all
retired well pleased to dream of sweet
flowers and gay costumes and youthful
forms and faces and inspiring melodies
and if their dreams were anything
like the reality, they might well desire
to sleep on and dream till doomsday.

We learn that many farmers, in view
of the fact that there will be very
light crop oftobacco planted, are max
ing preparations to discharge most of
their hands. While not assuming to
dictate to the farmers what they should
or should not do, we can not refrain
from expressing the opinion that this
policy is a very short-sighted one, and
one which should not be resorted to ex-
cept in cases of absolute necessity.
The employees are bound to live, and if
the chance to work and make living
is denied them, they will be forced to
seek it by other means. and the result
can but be disastrous to the country,
more particularly as there are already
large numbers of unemployed persons
in this section. Can not our farmers,
by putting in larger crops of something
else, give their hands at least work
enough to support themselves, and
thus keep them from the temptation to
secure a living by dishonest means.

Laying the Corner Stone of the new
Presbyterian church.


Our paper was so nearly made up for
the press when this ceremony took
place that we have barely space for an
enumeration of the steps of the trans
action.
First, Mr.. Jas. L. Glenn briefly an
nounced the purpose of the meeting;
the Rev. j. w. Lupton then invoked
the Divine blessing on the enterprise
in devout prayer well expressed, af-
ter which Mr.. Glenn read a copy of
the paper to be enclosed in the corner
stone, giving succinct history of the
Presbyterian church to this date.
[Of this paper we propose to publish
a copy in our next ISSUE
Then followed an address by the
Rev. J. B. Shearer, Vice Chancellor
of the South Western Presbyterian
University, in which he explained that
the corner stone was taken as typical
of Christ, on the authority of the
Savior himself, whom it reprepresent-
ed as binding together the whole struc-
ture in like manner as the love of
Christ binds together the Spiritual
church.
The assemblage then united in sing
ing Old Hundred, received the bless
ing from DIR. Lupton and dispersed.

The revival in New Providence con-
times. Fifteen accessions to the
church up to Thursday night. Rev.
VIM. Burr and Rev. r. K. Brown
hare rendered good service during the
meeting. Rev. J. W. Cullom, of
Springfield station, has been with the
pastor since last Monday, laboring
zealously and efficiently. We learn
that he will occupy the pulpit to-mor-
row morning and night. The relig-
ious portion of the community seem
startled at the number of irreligious
business men in the town, and special
prayer meeting was held yesterday for
their conversion. We learn also that
Rev. r. X. Brown was to address a
sermon to them on last night.

THE negro groceries at the west end
of Strawberry alley are going to give
US trouble yet. On Sunday night a
colored woman called at the Office of
DIR. Wright, with her throat cut almost
exactly in the same manner as Geo.
Woods was cut month or two ago,
only not SO deep. Her own account
of the matter was that it was done by
a negro man and that jealousy was an
melting motive, 1t seems to be the
negro's regular way of settling quar-
rel now, and it strikes us as being
rather a dangerous thing that Cuffee
should get too fond of cutting threats.

The interior finishing is now going
on rapidly in the new residence of the
Hon. John +. House, on Madison
street. We called in lately and in
spected some very beautifully finished
cornice work, executed by Mr.. R. w.
jackson, plasterer. Ritz tells us that
some much more ornamental work is
to follow, which we will certainly ex-
anime and report on. Meantime let
us suggest to our citizens, when they
have a nice job on hand, to examine
work done by our own GAINESVILLE
men before they send off to a distance
for men who can't do it better. Three
parties will be thus benefted-the
GAINESVILLE mechanics, their employ
ers, and the community at large.
