We are sorry indeed to chronicle
the loss by fire last Sunday afternoon
about 8 o'clock Of the residence of
Messrs. Robert and Joseph williamson,
in the Shiloh settlement, few miles
north of town. The origin of the fire
is unknown, but supposed to have
caught from defective fiue. Their
mother, Mrs. Williamson, was the only
inmate Of the house when the fire was
first discovered, and being over 20 years
old and very feeble. was of course un-
able to extinguish the flames. Her
screams brought two of her neighbors
Messrs. Doc Perry and Pike Spillars to
the scene. but when they arrived the
fire had attained such Roadway that to
arrest it was impossible, and they APP
piled their efforts to saving the contents
of the house. Much of the bedding,
clothing and other articles of value
were saved and much was lost, of house,
hold goods, papers and books, incIud-
ing the family record of marriages,
births and deaths. all of which were
very valuable to, and highly priced by
the family. The entire loss will amount
to two or three hundred dollars with
no insurance. Coming as it does upon
the verge Of cold weather, It behooves
the charitably inclined to render unto
these worthy unfortunates such prompt
and adequate assistance as will enable
them to prepare comfortable home on
the old homestead before the pinching
frosts OF winter come. Their many
friends deeply sympathize with them
in their misfortune.
