MRS. FRANCLSCOS Loss.

From the Jonesboro (Ga) Ne1cS,
of April q, we learn of the destruc-
ton by fire, on the night Of the 10th,
of the large brick building in that
town, known as the Coleman House,
and occupied and run as q hotel by
Mrs VIM. B. Francisco, formerly Of
this place The fire originated in a
store room under the hotel and was
not discovered until efforts to save
the building or the furniture were
utterly hopeless. The inmates Of
the house were sound asleep and
were aroused by the sitting smoke,
barely in time to save themselves
and their families from a horrible
death by the deYouring flames. The
married daughter OF Mrs, Francisco
was in too feeble health to walk and
as the fire rendered it impossible to
pass over the stairway, it was at one
time thought that she would have to
perish in the flames, but through the
heroism of two or three gentlemen,
who rushed by a back way to the
room, amid the dense smoke and in
tense heat, at the imminent risk of
their lives, the lady was carried from
the room on a mattress only a few
moments before the floor of her room
fell into the burning abyss below.
Mrs. Francisco, the account states,
saved nothing whatever of her large
supply of clothing, household furni-
ture, etc, nor was there any insur-
ance. The many friends of Mr.. and |
Mrs. w. B, Francisco in East Ten
ressee will hear Of this sad misfor-
tune with sincere regret. 1t is the |
second or third time they have sus-
tanned similar losses through the
Of others,

The Republicans are evidently be-
coming sick of Malone. He is en-
tirely too attcnuated to cover the
idea they originally entertained.
The Washington correspondent Of
the New York Herald writes: "Pri-
vately Republican Senators very
generally confess that they wish
their new ally, Gen. Malone, were
a broader man than he is. They
discover very few traces Of states
manship in him. and they do not
take very kindly to the kind Of poll
tics Malone appears to them to
know best. In fact, a good many
of them are secretly sick of Malone
and his Riddleberger, and wish they
had intrusted the making of a
alliance to somebody else
than the shrewd Mr.. Gorham, of
California"

A correspondent of the Dispatch,
writing from Messy Creek, gives the
following additional facts Of tho
wonderful wealth already developed
from tho lot purchased some weeks
ago from the Baptist Church, by
Messrs. Barrett & Sizor, zinc miners
of that place As we stated at the
time. they gave 81 800 for tho lot.
The correspondent says "They
have raised over 600 tons of ore and
you hardly miss it. That 600 tons
Of ore cost for raising and putting
on the track 81 y per ton, say $3.50
for the whole. At So a ton the GOO
tons would come to $4,000, leaving
a net profit of $3.50" A healthy

has been one of great dullness and depres-

plain, honest confession is good for the
soul, and in common with our competitors
we acknowledge the fact. But we must
make room, we must reduce our immense
stock no matter what the sacrifice. To old
and young, rich and poor, Men, youths
aud boys we make this plain proposition,
we will positively commence on the 2Sd OF
December to close out our stock of about
five hundred overcoats at cost, and we will
sell our entire stock of gents youths and
boys suits from to-day until January LIST,
1882, at 10 per cent, lower than our marked
prices. AS we make it a rule to advertise
truthfully and honestly, we trust the peo-
pie will take advantage of our liberal offer
and lay in their stock OF clothing at once,

fsstponcment.
Owing to the inability of some of the
ladies on the committee to attend TO the
sale of the chances in the Grand Christmas
Charity Drawing, and wishing to make the
amount realized as large as possible, Mes
srs. Sanger Bros. have concluded to post
pone the drawing until Saturday evening,
December Slst.
This will enable the ladies who have sig.
nitied their willingness to assist in the dis
posal of the chances, but we're deferred by
the inclemency Of the weather and other
causes during the past week, to accomplish
the good work
Those who have not already subscribed to
this charity fund should step into Sangsrs
and view the case containing the elegant
dressing robe, that would make such an ap-
propriate New Year's,silt for father husband
brother or friend; the magnificent piano
cover, that would so please, on New Years
morn, the wife, sister or sweetheart,
and the beautiful pair of matched
dolls that would make so happy
the little pets who expect something of you,
and then consider if you do not win either
of the prizes your fifty cents is not lost,
but has gone just where you would have
sent or taken It had you known of the case
of restitution it will assist in relieving.
Cali at Sanger's and help the good cause
to which they donate hundred and fifty
times as much as you pay fora chance, and
which committee of the most prominent
ladies of the city will see rightfully directed,
as did the committee appointed last year
who distributed about $500 collected by
Sanger Bros. in the same manner.
They certainly donot want this year'sf fund
to he less than that of last year, and would
prefer to see it double.
