RIDGE ROAD AND CANNoN's CREEK.
On Monday last about 2 p, m., my
attention was called to q fire In the
direction of Ridge Road church, on
DR.. J. B. Simpsons plantation. The
fire was found to be in a house occu-
pied BY Mr.. James Dean, who, with Mrs.
Dean had gone from home, leaving the
house in charge of four small children,
one of whom had been playing with
matches and accidentally set fire to a
pile of cotton In one of the rooms. The
house was in blaze in almost an in-
slant. Some neighbors came to the
rescue, and the children were found
some distance from the fire.
Everything in the house was lost ex-
cept trunk and some bedding. A
bale Of cotton, in the seed, belonging to
Mr.. s. ]. Kinard, was also burned.
Mr.. Dean moved here from William
ston last summer and rented the place
from Mr.. Kinard, who had it leased
from DR.. Simpson.
The house was among the Oldest in
this section, and, if I have not been
misinformed, was the birthplace, Of
Rev. J. A. Sligh's father. It had in the
last fifteen years twice caught on fire.
Be cautious of fire and careful about
matches.
The school at Ridge Road is small
this week on account Of some. Of the
children being kept at home to pick
cotton.
We advertise everything fresh on ice
at this time-especially every morning,
The butcher knife has done its work
in this section In the past two weeks
and you know what kind of time
that signifies.
Rev. q. W. Bedenbaugh, missionary
of the American Sunday-school Union
visited the Ridge Road Sunday-schoo
last Sunday morning. He made Inost
interesting talk in the interest of Sun
