business houses and many residences.
The FIRE plugs were filled with mud, and
no water could be- had. Under such
hopeless circumstances little or no effort
was made TO fight the flames, which
swept over the prosperous oil town with
frightful velocity, II was all the Sleep

their lives and wearing apparel, Noth-

district Fortunately no loss Of life Is
reported, and no One was seriously hurt,
II is impossible to put anything like
an accurate estimate on the total loss,
but It will range between $s5,0OO and
100000, About forty buildings were
destroyed. The loss to the merchants Is
very heavy. They saved neither build

CAME TOO LATE,
A 9Tan Returns from California Finds His
Wife and Friends Dead,

Wife and Friends Dead.
ACwoRTH, Ga, Dec. pr. W. viii
son, Jr, arrived here from California to
spend the Christmas holidays. Four
years ago he was a tenant cropper near
town, his father being supposed to be
dead. In the early settlement Of Cobb
county miners delyed for hidden trea.
sures more than they do now. Among
those engaged in this business was K
W. Wilson, In 1S4S, In q fit Of the
blues, he bade his pretty young wife and
child goodby and started for California.
His wife remained at her home near AC.
worth, and received a f0w letters from
him after he had arrived among the mi.
ners OF California. Finally he ceased
writing altogether. After some years
passed suitOrs pleaded for the wiie's
hand In marriage, but she declined to
enter wedloCk and kept sacred the memo
ry OF her first love. One day one OF her
suitors found in a California paper the
recorded death Of her husband. With
this assurance she consented 10 marry
the man who had been so kind 10 her.
After living with her second husband q
few years she died.
Sometime ago n stranger o. years old
stopped at ACworth and registered AT
the LitchAeld House as 4. W. Wilson.
He inquired for his old friend LitCh-
field. He was told that he was dead,
and then he named friend after friend,
and was told that they were dead or had
moved away. Like Rip Van Winkle,
he knew no one, and no one knew him.
He got on horse and rode out into his
old settlement, hoping 10 find some "a.
miliar face, and as he passed Captain j.
B. 0'Neill's farm he saw Young man
picking cotton, and inquired his name,
and was told "Wilson."
"Where is your father2" he asked.
''Hc went TO California forty years
ago."
Tho tears came rushing into the old
man q eyes, and he made known that he
was the father. Young Wilson was
greatly affected by this declaration, and
tho old man went to his sons house and
was introduced to his daughter.in-law
and grand children. The old man re-
counted his reverses in California, and
why he waited for success TO crown his
labors before returning. He finally
struck 1t rich, and Is now wealthy. He
took his son aud family back with him
and installed him as his heir. Young
Wilson gives glowing descriptions Of the
life he now lives on the Pacific coast.
