~ ShobI dCtOIS we're ulSCOFereu 10 D6 on
fire. From the big blaze and the illumi-
mated elements, it was at first supposed to
be the factory, but fortunately this idea
was soon dispelled on reaching the scene
of the confagration. The stables were
full Of hay and corn, and the infammable
material ignited and enveloped the Struct-
ure very quickly in flames Mr. Thomas
Brumby, president, and Mr. Talley secre-
tary, of the factory, were standing talking
in about twenty yards of. the stable when
the fire began to burn. They hurried to
the stables to release the mules but the
mules were frightened and stubborn, and
it required some effort to get them out,
but they were finally rescued. The fire
engine was throwing stream of water on
the building by this time, and the hook
and ladder boys were working manfully,
but the building was soon burned to the
ground. One pair of double and one pair
OF single harness, one wagon and a good
deal of hay were destroyed. The loss is
about $500, and no insurance.

The New Marietta Hotel" opened for
business on last Thursday. Its gentleman
ly proprietors, Messrs Scott & Camp
served their first meal at noon. A large
number of guests dined there that day.
The dining room is beautifully furnished
and comfortably arranged. The dinner
served, on this OCCASION in variety of
dishes and preparation, reflected credit on
the culinary skill and taste of those who
had it in charge. Each table was beautiful
ly decorated with bouquets of choice and
fragrant flowers, and the hotel established |
itself in the good opinion of the guests
from the start. In point of finish and
furnishings, there is no hotel in the state
that will excel it-gas, water, electric |
bells, and every modern convenience to
add to the comfort of guests. The rooms
are elegantly furnished, and cannot fail to
give satisfaction to those who stop there.
Mr.. Scott is an old hotel man, and under
stands his business thoroughly, and his
partner, Mr.. Camp, is a capable and court
eous business man. We predict popularity
and prosperity under its present manage
ment.

One of the finest carriages ever turned
out from Mr. Granting factory, has Just
been completed for shipment to Chatta-

beauty in workmanship and finish and is !
a credit to the skill of Mr. Granting and |
his workmen. Why any body should want
to send off for a carriage or buggy or
