BELLhlRE,

Of the struc,ure fell in every direction,
while the roof dropped with a crash on the
floor. The only part Of the building re.
naming standing is the front and it may
have 10 be thrown over. The floor is not
damaged much althoutg the heavy material

1t seems strange that a great big engine
that is built to pull large numbers Of cars.
gets stuck to the track while by itself and
have to be pulled off its position.
1t is but o short period now until George
Wise, the present incumbent Of the post.
Office, will step down and out. 1t will not
be with q feeling OF humiliation on his part
to do it; it will be with a ready air and
with q step that indicates the proud de-
mesnor OF q man conscious tina, he has
done his duty and served his constituents
for his appointed time. In March, when
be betakes himself from his little desk to
pastures new, Bcllaire will no doubt, be in
the possession Of q new postmaster. Who
will it be? The question is a perplexing
one and cannot be answered at this time.
There are quite q number Of our worthy
citizens in sympathy with the present Ad-
ministration, who would not despise the
offer OF the position and there are several
gentlemen who are clamorous for it, and
think their past deeds of vslor and skill
~fulness in behalf Of the Democratic party
eutitle them 10 it This 800 job is indeed
stirring up bad blood which will be fred
to a boiling point before the question of
who's going to occupy Mr. Wise place is
settled. \ list at the candidates is
here given: c. y. Allan. John Nit.
chsll, DE-. J. F. Smith, Herman Hart
J. H. Darrah, F. J.. Smith. Judge
A. VI. Anderson, Mayor D. ". Cooper, ".
X Naylo7, Besides these gentlemen it is
understood that 7. B Lirten, VIM. ALA.
her, S. Q. Hamilton, Henry Piper, J. A.
Scarborough and VI. Hoffman would &C.
cept of the place if rendered them. The
array of candidates and those cherishins
kindly feelings for the appointment, is of a
number, We: vc fear there are one
two, possibly more, who have been IN.
