MIR. Ratcliff with his entire family, an
hour before the burning, had been
summoned to the dying bedside of
Mrs. James Montgomery, some miles
in the country, the mother of Mrs.
Ratclitl. Before leaving they had Sc
curely locked the building, and every
thing the family had upon earth, ex-
cept what they wore upon their backs
was totally consumed.
BY the heroic efforts Of citizens, the
large residence of DIR. James Stuart,
within only few feet Of the burned
building, WAS saved. Stubbleiield's
hotel, owned by Judge Cooper, and
Cooper's law office Just across the
street were In great danger and several
times caught fire but by herculean
stand We're saved. If these had burned
the entire north side of the public
square of our beautiful little city would
have fallen victim to the devourlng

Mrs DIR. Stuart, an aged and much
respected lady, who had been in
feeble health for sometime, received SO
