boarding house about one clock on last
Thursday, in this city. By some unac-
countable means fire had gotten between
the ceiling and flooring in the front room
on the north side in the second story of the
building, and had burned through and
caught feather bed, burning it partially
up. The volume of smoke was dense and
sitting, and it took hard work to get the
fire undr control under such disadvantage.
Holes were cut through the ceiling and
flooring and buckets of water were applied
industriously. The fire department got in
its work and soon the blaze was extin~
guished, not, however before a good deal
of damage was done. Most of the furni-
ture was carried out into the yard, and
was damaged by the hurried rough hands
ling. Mrs. Haynes had a house full of
boarders and the scare they received was
great. The fire originated in the room oc>
cupied by young man named Bert Nor
ris, of Chicago. He has DO idea as to
how the fire started. The house was
fully insured with Mr.. 81. G. Coryell, in-
insurance agent, who had the adiuster here
the next day and paid the loss of $4,000.
This was quick work and very credi>
table to Mr.. Coryell.

in your mind. Chairs at 40 cts, Bedsteads
at $500, Bureaus at $3.50, cheaper than
auction prices Also other furniture in
Suits, Wardrobes, Safes, Tables. and many
other articles at proportionately low fig
ures. Remember these figures are offered
by W. E. GILBERT.
One thing is quite patent, one gener-
alton works that another may enjoy the
fruits thereof. The father works that his
children may be we'll provided for. The
best thing to leave boy is good moral
training and selfreliance. If he has any,
thing in him it will come out. Some par
ents leave their children only bad char
acter. We hope no Marietta father is so
indifferent to his conduct as not to care
whether his family name is kept bright or
furnished. Be sure that your children do
not inherit your evil acts as we'll as your
money.

good deal of work that bept them busy.
They did their duty as their oaths required.
They were kept from their own business,

people with diligence. We heard several
