THE SECOND FIRE.

Tuesday m0rniag last about IL
O'Clock T. j. A'sworth aud his son
were packing. cotton at the gin.
house Of Alsworth s. Priestly, three
miles west OF Canton, v hen the son
said "ihere is fire about" and in
an instant like fash from powder
the flames filed the whole apart
ment, and Mr.. AlswOrth and son
barely had time to escape with
their lives. Ben Edwards, a col
ored man, engaged in the lint
room. before he could get out, vac
SO badly burned that he died in the
evening. The steam mill, gin
house and everything combustible
connected with tbs establishment,
was in a very short time in ashes,
also abOnt 40 bales of cotton in the
seed, belonging In small lots to diff
ferent parties in the neighborhood.
This is the secoud time within a
few months that Messrs. Alsworth
s. Priestley have had their gin
house destroyed by fire. TIL, con
lecture is that this bad fortune was
he result of fricture about tn,
press. Nothing however is posi-
lively known.
The estimate of the loss of the
mill is about $4,000; The insurance
$4,000.
The stand is regarded so good
and the convenience so great to
the neignborhood, that Messrs.
Alsworth and p les ley are deter
mined to try it third time, and
We hope they may have better luck |
next time. They certainly deserve |
shall soon hear of then
being at work rebuilding again.

NEUTRALITY-SUSPICIOUS.. .a-<>zA-A. So
Cs-Ss

GA the morning OF the LIST Octo-
her, Mt the residence of Mr.. john l..
MAY son, in the 9th year of his age,
Mr.. j. S. COULTER, oldest son OF
Mrs. Eliza Mayson. The deceased
WAS born aud reared in Canton
where he was well known and much
beloved by many friends and re!a
tives. He was i'll one week, during
which time he uttered no complaint,
but was patient and submissive to
the orders of his physician. His
friends scarcely realized his dan
ger, before his death was announced.
That announcement sent q thrill o.
sympathy throughout the entire
community for his devoted mother
and family. Long will his your
companions remember their genial
friend, and cherish his virtues. 1t
was remark ed that he had never
had an enemy, yet love nor friend
ship could bind him to earth and
in the morning of his manhood
with the flush of hore before him.
he yielded his spirit to Him VIII,
gave it.
From sunset till gray dawn of morning,
From morning to sunset agi",
Fond friends and doar ones watched round
him,
But theil watchings and prayers were in
vain.
Each day he grew fainter and weaker,
Fr;lil nature endured not the test;
And in death he closed his eyes gently,
A!id folded his hands OH his breast.
We know not the time for the harvest,
The grain seemed OF ripe to our eyes,
.Sut the dread reaper Death with his sickle
The strongest and brayest defieS,
And thus in the prime of his manhood,
Full of hope for the future all bright,
He passed out with the shadow winged
angel
There were tears from eyes unuse to weep
ing,
There we're signs from hearts wont to b
brave,
and strung hearts bowed and tears fell
uilflSitu
Down into the newly made grave,
While upwards rose prayers that his lorcd
ones,
Might lay up their treasures in Heaven,
Where sorrow and death cannot enter,
And 'beau,y for ashes" is given.
And the minister read from the 81 ripturcs,
Kind words Of great comfort and prayed,
Prayed not for the dead; but the Wing,
In the battle of life still arrayed.
For we too shall fade as the flower
As the grass-be cut down and die,
iOd teach us our ''few days" to number
And our hearts unto wisdom p ".
Now, under the sod we has laid him;
But Yet when the spring time shall ONE,
The spot will grow bright in its beauty,
And the dear little dai sizes will bloom.
And sweet rose shall send out its fragrance
And scatter its soft petals there;
While the myrtle and ivy shall witness
Tho kindly remembrance we bear.
