On last Friday, about 6 o'clock
p, m. comparatively new barn on
the farm Of Jackson Collier,

The barn caught fire by the explos-
ion of a lantern, while Mrs. Collier,
wife Of Mr.. Golfers youngest son,
was crossing the barn floor. Her
husband was at Clifton Mills at this
time and there was no one else
around. All their grain and hay,
thirty head Of sheep, and one
spring wagon was burned. The loss
was between $500 and $1,000; in-1
surance $1,000. New Era.
Last Friday Mrs. Doc Gallo
way disappeared and is supposed
to have eloped with Joseph Kidd
and Walter Cook and to be in
Kansas. Kidd and Cook had been
employed by Galloway for some
months, and there was great deal
of whispering among the neigbors
concerning strong ties Of affection
that seemed to exist between them
and Mrs. Galloway, but was kept
from the ears of her husband, who
is highly respected and a well-to-do
farmer. The men had made prepa-
rations to go west and on the morn
ing of the elopement approached
Mr.. Galloway and modestly asked
for his wife. He was perfectly will
ing and gave her $500 for the jour
ney. She kissed her children, five
in number, goodbye before leaving
and seemed to be very composed
in packing her trunks. She passed
through Raleigh Court House in
Mr.. Calloway's buggy, and made
no secret of what she had done and
was going to do. Mr.. Galloway
resides in a commodious house,
well furnished, and is universally
liked, it is said, by those who knew
that he was unusually kind and in
dulgent to his wife and children.
Why she deserted him is mystry.
