FIRE FIEND.
Marietta Has Touch of His Breath

Marietta Has a Touch of His Breath.
On Saturday night last, about a quarter of
eleven clock, the two story frame house sit
uated opposite the depot, near the Kennesaw
House, was discovered to be on fire, The
alarm was given and soon a large crowd collect
ed at the scene and began work to check the
flames and prevent the hotel and other property
from being destroyed, There being no fire en-
CINE in the city, our people resorted to the use
of water buckets and the welding of the axe,
which helped of course, but fortunately the en-
CINE of the Kennesaw Mills had hose enough TO
reach the burning building, and good stream
of water was thrown on the north wing Of the
building and soon the energetic efforts of the
fire fighters had tie progress of the fire check
ed and extnguishsd al that point, although the
other part of the building was burned to the
ground. 1.-THE old Denmead warehouse in
close proximity, had been reached by the fire,
thet the stores on the square wonld certainly
have caught, resulting in the destruction of
property, but happily all this was averted, by
the extreme stiffness Of the elements and the
very slow burning of the building giving am
pie opportunity to extinguish the fire. The
building WAS the property of Winters & Whit
lock, and only one room occupied and that by
VIM +. Groves, as an insurance office, but
there was no insurance on the building, which
was valued at about $4,000. 1t was evidently
the work Of an incendiary. The blinds of the
Kennpsaw House were in some instances dam
aged, while many window glasses were shat
tered by the intense heat. Notwithstanding
the destruction of the two story structure, the
town ned 10 congratulate itself on escaping I'M
der the circumstances with such moderate
conhagraton, which would not have been the
case but for the available use of the Kennesaw
Mills fire extingusher

The Central Georgia Weekly

The Central Georgia Weekly
has changed base. IIenccforth it is
to be published in Macon. We re-
gret the removal of this paper, but
are not surprised. This town is too
small to support two papers. BE
sides this, that paper started out up
on subscription price nearly one
hundred per cent. below the standard
price of Georgia weeklies, and could
not pay expenses. Hence it was
compelled to succumb to the inevita'
BILE. No paper, trade, profession, or
business of any kind, can long pros
per that attempts to supplant kindred
enterprises by underb dding. Such
rivalry is not legitimate, and must
sooner or later fail Of success Sd

There was large crowd of our own citizens,
and quite a number from Atlanta, present.

of the May dance, which was kept up until
late hour. The ladies Of the Atlanta B.nevo-

Nichols was untiring in making the whole af-

agree his part was well performed, us well as
those who acted in concert. with him.

Ralston became u millionaire in San Francisco,
and Martin bankrupt in New York. Ralston
at last heard of Martin and his lowly condition
and sent him a check for ten thousand dollars.
This remiS Is us of an Incident that happened
in Georgia since the war. A gentleman and

was exhausted, and no remunerative employ

posses Of them of place lodge. A gentle
man, formerly Of Mareites stepped forward and
paid the bill, which inspired new courage in the
unfortunate husband. He resolved never to
to drink again, rented small cottage and be-
gan to keep house on an economical plan and
found employment at market stand the pay
was small, but he stuck to it, saved some, mon
