Incendiarism.

Another attempt was made last
Thursday night to burn the old depot
building, in which is situated the
mail and baggage room, the colored
sitting room and the eating rooni of
the Southern News Company. The
attemp: this time was boider than the
previous one. A lot Of chips had
been piled against the door of the bag.
gage room, on the outside. and then
saturated with coal oil. Fire was then
set to it, and, had it not been that a
railroad hand was passing to sea after
the switch lamps, the building would
have been destroyed. No one know S
what the motive can be to destroy the
building, but one or two persons are
suspected, and they viii almost GER
tainly be caught if the attempt is re-
peated. We hope the diabolical
scoundrel may be captured and pun
ished to the full extent of the law.
Every good citizen condemns such
acts of vandalism, and will lend the
company such assistance as he can in
ferreting out the guilty party.

ATWOOD ITEMS.

Editors Exchange:
/ will give you a brief sketch Of
the items in and around town.
The wheat harvest is about over.
There is about two-thirds Of crop,
though what there is will be better
than usual. Oats look well, and
promise a large yield. Corn and cot
ton look fine. They have been well
worked, and the weather has been
dry enough to prevent the grass from
hurting the growth, which is unusual
for this climate.
s There is not much doing in the
mercantile line here at this time, and
our idol" boys put in a good deal of
their time reading good books and the
news of the day.
Mrs. DIR. Roach. who is resident
of this place, fell from hack yester-
day, receiving painful but not Sc
rious injury. We learn she is i'm
proving.
We are informed that our high
school will open again next month,
and we bespeak for it liberal pat
ronage. Prof. NJ. L. Ray, our com.
petent principal, gives full satisfaction
to all. A. 2.
