On the night OF the 18th inst, Unio
Chapel, situated about three miles from Ma
rietta, on Powder Springs road was destroye
by fire. Rev. A. B. Vaughn, Jr., has bee
teaching school in the chapel, but there wa
/ no fire in the afternoon, and the impression
is it was the work of an incendiary. Thi
| building was a neat and creditable structure
newly built, and was used for holding rel
gious worship and Sabbath School. Tn
County Agricultural fair was held there las
summer and was the place of meeting @
the Phoenix Club. In the chapel was
splendid library belonging to the Uniol
Sunday school, and also a nice orgal
belonging to Mr. R. I. Nesbitt all of whicI
was destroyed. We regret that this misfor
tune has befell the excellent settlement il
which it was located. An effort will at one
be made to rebuild the chapel which wa
so useful and beneficial to that community
and trust the citizens of the town and coun
ty generally will contribute something Il
aid in its reconstruction A small amour
| from all will do the work and none feel tn,
deprivation of the contribution.
