~ report WIS current in town
saturday ev ming that Secona
'hurch was in d,nger, but 1t was
nnfnunded, although fire was out

The Brushy Creek correspondent
Of tho Anderson Peoples Advocate
says that Mr.. Hampton Cely's res
idence was burned on the 10Th in
slant, with all its contents. His
wife was sick in bed at the time,
and it was with difficulty she was
rescued. A negro was hemmed ia
the house by tho fire and cut his
hands badly in making his escape.
A defective tlue Wis the cause.
No insurance.
A good many of the Pickens peo-
pie attended tho show at Green
Vile last week and pronounced it
good. Thoy found it orderly, NOR
al and near about as represented
The dispensary was closed on that
day and there was no drinking or
rowdyism of any kind, although
there wcro probably 10000 people
on the streets Of the city, and ev-
erybody went home happy. This
same report has gone forth from
other towns where Sells Brothers
showed, and 1t is all Oh account of
the dispensary system and the low
el-headedness Of Governor Evans,
who ordered the disponsarios clos
ed on those days.
On Wednesday night of last
week, after tho family had retired
Mr.. w. ". Meares became thirsty,
and getting up for drink of va
tor, he heard noise that did not
belong around his house at that
time of night, 80 stopping to the
door, he heard voices in the dlrec-
ton of the stable. Believing some
one was after his mule, he listened
a moment, and heard them getting
up IN n tree after his chickens, but
in his eagerness to take a hand in
the robbery, no made racket, at
which they ran away. They paid
him n visit again on Friday night,
and although he heard them and
shot at them with a pistol, they
got a few of his fine chickens. He
thinks he recognized the voices Of
the first parties. and would like
for them to call around again.
Death Of Mrs. WI. L.. Jones.
