 We learn from our young friend Mir. James II. Shinn, who was down in Holly Bend township day or two last week, that the gin house of MT. Ben. II. Allen, in that township, came very near being burned last Wednesday. It seems that the smokestack which was constructed of brick, was defective, and permitted sparks to pass from 1t to the roof, which was ignited, aud only ex- ,-tinguished by hard work.
 We had the pleasure of meeting our esteemed friend and former fellow townsman, Mir. T. l.. DurTum, in town Monday.

 We truly and sincerely regret to learn that our highly esteemed friend Dr. Higgins, of Scottville, had the very sore affiiction to lose his estimable wife last Satureay. Mrs. H. was sister of Mr. Bud Waller, of Morrillton, and was most highly esteemed by all who knew her. Mir. Waller went up Sun day to be present at the burial of his sister. We tender our heartielt condo ! lence to the afflicted husband and brother. Our good friend Mir. Sam'l Temple ton, of Griffin township, honored us with pleasant call last Friday. We were sorry to learn from our friend that he had the misfortune to have his house destroyed by fire about the goth of January. Notwithstanding the heavy loss which this misfortune en- tailed upon Mir. T., he, like man of true grit and inslomitable courage. has commenced to push ahead again. and has not even forgotten to renew his subscription 10 the DEMOCRAT. We trust fortune Ny smile upon our friend
 
 and that he may soon regain the loss he has sustafned.
