On Wednesday afternoon last fire de-
stroyed the residence Of Mr.. S. l.. Nc
Daniel, of this place. 1t is not known
how the fire originated and when first
discovered the flames had made such
Roadway as to battle every effort to save
the building. Most of the furniture on

his chief support by working by the day
what he made was used in defraying the
expenses of his hOusehold.-SheHaHdOdh
