Hon. B. f. Crayton met with quite loss
by fire one day last week. A closet adioin-
ing his room in his residence near Anderson
was discovered to be on fire, and before the
flames could be extinguished handsome
| overcoat, two suits and other valuable cloth
| ing had been consumed or ruined. 1t is
| supposed that the fire originated from 8
spark being blown into the closet while the
door was open, and had it remained undis.
covered little longer the dwelling itself
could not have been saved.
It is really interesting, though not at all
astonishing, to witness that constant rush
at the popular and well known New York
| Cash Store. Daily hundreds cannot be
| waited upon, which is but small portion
| of those that are able to procure their i'm
mense bargains. This house is living ex-
ample of what enterprise, big stocks, low
prices, cash system, ETC., etc., can accom-
plish. Success to you, Messrs. Arnstein O.

On last Tuesday night, VIM. Norris and
his wife, both colored, left their house, on
the plantation of Mrs. Glenn, some seven
miles south of Anderson, with three small
children locked up in it, carrying, however,
their own child with them. While gone,
the house from some cause took fire, and
was so far burned before it was discovered
that 1t was i'm possible to save it. The Oldest
child managed to escape unhurt, but one
twas so entirely burned up that only frag-
inents Of :he body have been recovered, and
the third was so terribly burned that 1t is
not thought possible for it to recover. All
of the household property of VIM. Norris
and forty dollars in money were also de-
stroyed. 1t was an accident resulting from
leaving little children alone with fire, and
should be warning to oil persons to stop
this dangerous habit.
