FIRE AMONG COTTON.
n Few Bales Damaged at Floyd's
pickery.

Fire broke out at i o'clock this morning
in a pile of damaged cotton at Floyd's
pickery on the bank Of tine Ogeechee ca
nal. 1t was discovered by the Waterman
and telephone alarm was sent to No.
engine house. The engine reel went down
and a line of hose was laid from the near
est hydrant and a stream was soon playing
on the burning cotton.
The fire was quickly eXtinguished,
though it was not deemed safe to leave
the cotton without protection, as the FIRE,
It was feared, might break out afresh at
any time.
Chief Puder sent supply of hose from
No. A engine house in case of an emer-
gency. The damage by the fire is small.
1t was discovered in time to prevent its
gaining any Roadway. There were be-
tween 50 and 100 bales in the pile where
it started, and had the fire got much of
start the damage would have been consid-
cradle. It's origin is unknown. 1t prob
ably started from a smouldering fire and
might have been burning a long time.

ments to the Church.
The ladies of the Rectory Society Of st.
Johns Church have arranged to furnish
the church anew with light fixtures.
Twelve new chandeliers VIII be put in.
besides pedestals in the chancel, instead
of brackets as at present. The church
is now lighted by three gas chandeliers
on each side
The new outfit viii consist Of six COM
b.nation gas and electric light chahde-
liers on each e,just doubling the present
lighting capacitY.The first idea was to put
in two large and handsome chandeliers,
but it was found that this would oh
struct the view from the galleries. and it
was decided that it would be best to use
the smaller chandeliers. The offer of the
rectory society has been accepted and
bids for the contract are now being asked
for. The new chandeliers viii be the very
best that can be had without regard to
cost The cost of the outfit is estimated
at between $50 and 81 600.
The ladies' of St. Johns BectOry Society
are indefatigable workers. Last year
they return shed the rector's study at a
cost of about $500. The present church
rectory was purchased by them al a cost
Of $500.
