ternoon the alarm of fire sounded,
caused by shavings taking fire in the

assistance. Some pals of water we'll
applied put out the fire, and no doubt
saved the establishment from total de-
struction, as at this time of year when

miracle could have saved the building
with the flames under good Roadway.

work, but returned without throwing
any water.
The other day, The GAINESVILLE Ga
zette gave the substance of an inter
view with some Jefferson county man
which has a decided fshy smell We
do not believe that any body, Repub-
lican or Democrat, told the editor OF
The Gazette that the woods are full OF
Republicans in Jefferson county who
! will oppose the denomination of Hon
L. B. Caswell for congress. The fact is
that Mr. CasTell never had stronger
hold upon the voters of this county, oil
all parties, than he has to-day, having
done nothing to forfeit their good will
and respect as faithful and efficient
!, representative. The Gazette has either
| been imposed upon, or is treating it's
readers to unreliable news.
