Last Saturday morning the State ladg-
or made its appearance among its old sub
serihers here, hailing from its new quar-
ter3 at the Capital. II is bright, fresh
and ncwsy, and its many attractive ica-
lures will at once commend it 10 all.

per like the Ledger, and we prcdic: for it
brilliant success. Those who do not
already get it and who want a good pa

subscribe. The price has been reduced

We return thanks to our neiehbor OF
the Free Press for his courteous and fra
cnal expressions. We assure him we
have no other desire than that all of our
relations may be of the most pleasant
nature. We see no more good sense for
editors falling to get along hmicably in
the same town, than there is for mer-
chants or any other class of men who are
business competitors. If we can publish
better paper than the Free Press, we
are going to do it; but that is the only
way we viii try to give brother Cunning
trouble.
Last Friday morning about IL o'clock,
the dwelling house on the northeast side
of the railroad, and this side of Swans
residence, was consumed by fire. The
origin was supposed to be from 4 fire left
in the fireplace. The door being left open,
the wind blew in causing the flames to
ignite the flooring All efforts to save
the building were fruitless, owing to q
heavy southerly wind. Twenty min
utes after the alarm was sounded, the
whole building was i'll ruins. Much
praise is due the citizens for their heroic
services in saving the adjoining buildings.
The house was occupied by Mr.. Curry
and family, who fortunately saved mos
of their household effects. It was the
property of Mrs. s. J. Whitworth.
