Another Big Fire.
JOHN X. BROWNS FINE COv,NTpy
HOME aYsTERIOUsLY BURNS
TO THE GROUND.
A community Destined To Conf,apra,
tions-The Second Big Fire
In Less Than a
Week.
Another Big Fire.

The country home of John X.
Brown, the extensive sheep-raiser,
was mysteriously burneddown Sun
day afternoon. Not a single plank
nor a piece of furniture vas saved
Mr.. Brown and his family live in
their city residence, adjacent to
Judge Ross home, south of the
railroad. Young BAIL Brown and
a hired man (Charles r. Marshall)
run the farm, whichis 5 miles south
OF Mexico, and lived in the house
at the time of the burning, but were
not at home. There was no one
near the house when it was first dis.
covered on fire by the neighbors and
BAIL is very positive he left no fire
in any of the stoves.
That morning about 1890
O'Clock BAIL and Mitchell conclud-
ed they would go visiting. Young
Brown went over to Wood Mad
dox's and Mitchell stopped at a Mr..
Arnold's. Along about 3 o'clock
BAIL returned and was surprised to
find the flames playing havoc with
his home and several neighbors
standing around powerless. 1t was
too near gone for the tin bucket
brigade to accomplish anything
1t was a fine So 900 building and
was furnished well below, but the
upper portion was not furnished.
All the wearing apparel of both of
the occupants was destroyed, ex-
cept what they had on. The loss is
in the neighborhood of $4,000, in
Guiding everything. Only $1,000
insurance, through LaKenan &
Barnes, is all Mr.. Brown holds, and
that would have run out in 80 days.
He did have $1,000 on the house
and furniture but recently transfer
red $500 of it and put it on his fur
niture in town.
1t is singular about these fires.
1t has been less than a week since
Lamartine Lacklane's fine house,
which is in the immediate vicinity
of Mr.. Browns, was burned, but
the cause was attributed to a de-
i~ective fue. Only a few days since
Auxvasse Church, 10 miles west,
was burned and a Mr.. Harrison, of
the same community, lost heavily
by fire. 1t was out in this part of
the county that so many barns and
horses were destroyed by fire In
such a mysterious manner a few
years since, which was not checked
until an anti-barn burning organiza-
ton was effected.
John X. Brown is one of the
most extensive and prosperous sheep
raisers in Audrain county. He now
has about 5000 head distributed in
different parts of the State. 1t is
understood he will not rebuild very
soon

PRAIRIE VIEW, Nov. 29.-The
latest notable society event of the
Valley was the marriage of J. Frank
Crockett on the evening of the 2Srd
to Miss Cora E. Farrah, of Prairie
View. The marriage took place at
the residence of Mr.. Louis Farrah,
uncle OF the bride. One hundred
persons were present and the occa-
sion was really an enjoyable one.
The ceremony was performed by
Rev. J. W. Owens, pastor of Bethel
M. E. Church, of Cedar Grove. The
ceremony was short but very i'm
pressive which united them for life.
After a feast, which would have
done honor to a king, congratula-
tons followed. The bride and
groom presented a pleasing appear
ance, the former wearing a dress of
white henrietta, trimmed with white
china silk and en- train, gloves and
slippers to match, wearing a veil
Topped with white chrysanthemums,
with bible in hand. The groom was
dressed in conventional black,
The attendants were Charley Harri-
son, of the Valley; Miss Lucy
Thomas, of Mexico, and Mr.. and
Mrs. Robert c. Calhoun, Miss Lucy
Thomas acting as maid of honor.
The bridesmaids were attired in
white crepe de chine lace trimmings,
cut V and en- train, gloves and
slippers to match, each carrying a
large bouquet of white chrysanthe-
NUNS. Charley Harrison was best
man. The groomsmens each wore
conventional black. Well may this
occasion be called a chrysanthemum
wedding. The parlor, dining hall
and table were deliberately decorated
with these sweet flowers. The
BRIDES cake was a beauty, only be-
yond our capability to describe. On
inquiry we found this trimming was
done by the artistic hand of Mrs.
Edwin Gamble, of Prairie View. At
a late hour on leaving every one felt
that all possible had been done by
Mr.. and Mrs. Louis Farrah to make
the evening pleasant to all.
THE RECEPTION.
The reception took place at the
residence of c. H. Crockett, brother
of the groom, the evening of the
Oath, Thursday. This was indeed
a Thanksgiving feast. One hundred
and twenty-five persons gave heed
to cards issued, although the even
ing was u~nfavorable. Many were
checked 90 their way by the rain,
yet by 8 O'Clock the house was
filled with a little multitude of
friends of the bride and groom,
where all was merriment. The
supper comprised not only the
delicacies of Beaver Dam Valley but
of the valleys of California as well,
it was all there and all partook
freely. Both of the contracting par
ties are well known to the people,
having grown up in our midst,
therefore they need no commenda-
ton. The happy couple received
many handsome presents among
which we noticed an elegant silver
fruit bowl with gold leaf lining pre-
scented by Mr.. and Mrs. R. c. Cal
houn. The happy pair will go to
housekeeping about the list of De-
cember on the farm known as the
Robert Potts place, which the groom
purchased some time ago. Now
we have reached the point where We
can indeed we congratulate you
and trust that your married life
may be one of sunshine and happi-
ness and that you may enjoy LIES
choicest. blessings. Farewell single
life, farewell! PUELLA.
