Since Christmas we have had snug
wintry weather. On Friday morning
the thermometer registered ten below
zero.
The meeting at Central View school
house has closed for the present. There
were few more baptisms on Wednes-
day and understand there were thir-
ty-elght additions to the church during
the meeting. This has been the great
est revival in religion there has been in
the eastern part of Barber county
for several years and hope the benifi-
clal effects ct this awakening will be
lasting.
On Wednesday morning last A. S.
Huff's house accidentally caught fire
and burned down. The family were in
the house at the time but were not
aware of the danger until the fire had
made too much progress to be extin-
guished. Most of the furniture and
household goods were taken out of the
burning building and saved. I have
heard the loss from the fire estimated
at five hundred dollars. which is proba-
bly, not far from the true figures. This
is the severest accident from frs that
has occurred in this vicinity for some
time. The fire occurred at about sun
rise and was observed at distance of
or miles. Mr.. NewSOm, MIR. Cushenber-
~ and Mr.. Tilbury saw that the fire
was house burning and went to give
assistance. Sam Brown started to go
but when he had rode part way his
horse slipped and fell with him bruis-
ing one OfSam's legs so severely that he
stopped at Mr.. Rogers for repairs. l
understand there was no insurance on
the house. The loss falls heavily on
Mr.. Buff. lie has been very untortun-
ate for few years past. Two years
ago he was very low with sickness pref
ty much all winter and his doctor bill
was considerable. The same winter
he lost ali his horses except one team.
Besides these losses he has had his share
of crop failures for tho las two or three
years. This year be raised fair crop
| of corn and seemed In a fair way to pay
off large share of his Indebtedness
and now comes this loss of his house.
Brother Huff is himself kind hearted
man. He has frequently given of his
means to help the needy, but without
ostentation. have accidentally found
out from the recipients that he has
quietly given one or two sacks of flour
to a worthy poor man without solicita-
ton. He also gives cheerfully In the
support of religion. The aged parents
of his wife have passed great deal of
their time beneath his hospitable roof.
His frequent misfortunes are in my
opinion an exemplication of the state
ment of Holy Writ: "Whom the Lord
loyeth He chastiseth." Brother Huff
now resides in Mrs. Lychliter's house
