A Narrow Escape.

On last Saturday afternoon a
bile of cotton from Sharp's gin
was brought to the warehouse Of
0. B. Stevens, in this city, and
as the ! our was late,it was placed
near the scales, bat not weighed.
On Sunday afternoon about 4
o'clock the ot,or of burning cotton
was noticed in the vicinity OF the
warehouse, and when an entrance
was made into the house it was
discovered that the bale OF cotton
from Sharp's gin was on fire, the
fire having burnt outward from
the middle of the bale. But for
the timely discovery, tho fire
might have soon extended TO the
rest Of the cotton in tn ware
house, and a disastrous oonHag-
ration would have been the result.
1t is supposed that the cotton
caught FIRE from & spark from the
smoke stack Of the gin, ari, burn
ing slowly,it wa5 not perceived in
time. The bale OF cotton was the
property Of Mr.. j. P. Sharp.

On last Friday en- impromptu
railroad meeting was held in
tli8 placs as TO the feast
bility of the line from this
city to Albany. At that time it
was determined to send the board
of directors Of the contemplated
Dawson and Albany road to Alba
ny on Tuesday to confer with par
ties in that city in regard to the
project. 1t is idle for pen or ora
tor to discuss the vital necessity
of the road to Dawson and her
future. Our city feels the need
Of this road, and without doubt it
is only a question OF time when
it will be built.

A Pretty bat Sad Prayer-meeting
Incident.

1-aNlNCils
At the regular prayer-meetirg
at the Metho list church, on last
Thursday night, the pastor read
from copy of the Wesleyan
Christian Advocate, in his hands,
a request from the Rev. George
5. Johnston, Sanlersville, Ga,
asking an interest in the prayers
OF Gods people for the recovery
of his two children, Paul and Paul
Inc, each stricken down with
a severe attack Of typho-ma-
larial fever. Paul had been sick
for forty-four days and Pauline
one week with the disease. Pray
er was made for the recovery
OF these children, whom many Of
YOU had learned to love while their
father was the faithful pastor of
the Methodist church in this city
few years ago. The sympothias
of the members Of the Rev. Mr..
Jchnston's former congregation,

rowing family in this their hour

Of last week, which was felt

aronsed from his bsd in this place
by the rafting of his chamber
door as if one was endeayoring to
forcitly enter; besides, he felt his

other person, a young lady, was
aroused from her slumbers by a
noise similar to that experienced
