The Atlanta Constitution, of last Sunday.
contained an illustration and description q {
The Gate City Bank building, which was
recently completed. Our young frienc, J.
I. Reed, Esq, has his office in this build
ing, and the Constitution, in giving short
sketch OF the occupants, has this to saw
about him: "Mr. Reed has only been in
Atlanta few months, coming here from
Anderson, s. c., his old home. He is very
| nicely situated in room number 80, having
his office elegantly furnished His library
IS one OF the most valuable in the State,
which he inherited from his father. It
contains several hundred volumes, many OF
which ere rare copies of books long gone

many such works Mr.. Reed has of equally
rare value. He is young man of excep-
tionally fine address, coupled with strong
intelligence, and is destined to build up a

An election was held in thoseveral town
| ships along the line Of the Savannah VAL
! ley Railroad in Abbeville County last Sat
urday on the question OF making another
subscription, aggregating $4,000, for the
purpose Of completing the said Road. The
| following is the result in the various town
ships: Lowndcsville--l99 yeas, nays;
Mngnolia-ll4 yeas, % nays; Calhoun
l9l yeas, 45 nays; Bordeaux-1OO yeas, 80
nays. This result insures the completion
| Of the Road from LowndesYille to McCor-
mack's. 1t now devolves upon the town
ships interested in Anderson County to Ge-
eide what We will do. The friends of the
enterprise are now more hopeful than ever
before, and if the townships in Anderson
County will only do their duty it will not
be many months before the trains will be
running through their sections. Every
body should 90 to work in earnest now,
and not stop until the last rail has been laid
and the last spike driven on this important
commercial highway.
Last Sunday morning the large and
commodious brick building, known as
the University Boarding House, on Main
| street, was entirely consumed by fire.
The alarm was given about 10 o'clock.
When first discovered blaze was pro-
| west corner room on the third floor. It
Is supposed that the fire had been burn
ing some fifteen or twenty minutes he-
fore it was discovered, and by the time
the alarm was heard throughout the city
and before many persons reached the
scene, it was conceded to be useless to at
tempt to save the building, as it would
be impossible to get sufficient water to
the third story. Everybody, upon arriv-
ing at tho building, went Immediately to
work saving the furniture. All the fur
niture on the first floor and the greater
portion on the second was saved.
Since the lst of January the building
had been occupied by Prof. III. G. Reed
as boarding house for the cadets of tho
Anderson Military School. 1t Is not
known how the fire originated, as all the
cadets were away at the time in attend
ance upon Sunday School. The rules re-
quired every cadet to carefully put out
his fire upon leaving his room, and it was
the duty of the officer of the cay to visit
each roon, efseE The cadets left 70 see that
this rule had been complied with. This
was dons by Cadet Dunlap on Sunday
morning after the cadets had gone away,
and he found everything all right. 1t is
believed the fire originated In the roof or
ceiling.
Prof. Reeds loss amounts to between
two and three hundred dollars. The ca
dets who roomed on the third floor lost
all their wearing apparel and effects.
AS usual, our citizens both white and
colored, worked like ojans in saving
what, they could from the flames. We
would mention, particularly, Ad. john
con, ooiorea, saT the valuable assistance
rendered and his daring bravery. After
the building had been pronounced un-
safe and ingress prevented by the stair
way, he entered the second story by a
ladder and saved the contents of two
rooms. For this act OF heroism he was
rewarded with purse Of five or ak dol
lars, contributed by citizens on the spot.
