 THE INcENDIARY AT WORK.
 | I wish to attempt to relate some thing about the sensation and ax- citement that was created in town on last Thursday night at the hour of ten o'clock, by the burning of Mir J. B. Faucette's gin house in the southern suburbs of town, but am so dumbfoundcd over the unexpect- ed and unfortunate occurrence at that particular time that l hardly know how to begln-and besides, it would not be prudent to say or give any of the supposed ideas of the matter at this time-mere than to say there is but one opinion on the matter, and that is, it was the work of an incendiary, but for why is 6 mystery to all alike, The gin had not been run tor three days and had been running good part of the time, with hard shower just before the alarm of fire was given. It will be remembered that Mir. Faucette is a new conner in this place recently from Searcy county and stands high as quiet, well -to-do and much res pected citizen of the place, without q known enemy or the least shadow of cause existing here why he should have any. Mir. Faucette is a fine mechanic and the gin was new from beginning to end and was pro nounced by various ones to be the most complete and we'll arranged gin ever put up h this part, and had cost in cash about $3,000, with a heap of hard labor that was princi pally done by himself and boys dur Ing the hot weather, and to stand by and sec it all swept from before his eyes, with other years of toil in less than an hours time is dsheartening. The boiler, engine and scales were not damaged. and fortunately there was but little cotton in heuse-some bale in the seed which was lost.
 CIRCUIT CoURRT PROCEEDINGS.
 By request 1 will attempt to give you few dots on the proceedings of tho court up to the adjournment on Saturday morning ard not having yet been admitted to the bar as a practitioner l may get into fog, and in ease you should not fully un derstand my law -ology, you can just lay the paper down and guesss of the balance which will answer about the same purpose anyway.
