On Friday morning last, an accident
occurred at Mayor R. N. Hollands resi-
dence that was very damaging in its results.
The extreme cold weather the night before
had frozen the water in the pipe that con-
nected the range and boiler When a fire
was kindled in the range and the water in
the boiler began to generate steam, there
was no escape valve, and the result was
an explosion that demolished the range
and did considerable damage to the kitchen.
Mrs Holland was in the room at the time
and had marrow escape from serious
bodily injury, not to say death.
Don't forget to call and settle with me
when you come to town. You know have
been through the fire and have been badly
hurt and damaged, and need what you are
owing me. J. W. HARDEMAN,
the man.

FRIDAY about dark, 2lst ult., a small
blaze was seen burning on the roof of
Warlick's gallery, over D. F. McClatchey's
store. Parties hurried to the roof and ex.
tinguished the incipient blaze before it lad
time to spread, or serious confagration
would have resulted. A stove pipe in
Warlicks gallery had become disconnected
near the roof and spark soon ignited the
| shingles 1t was a narrow escape from a
destructive fire.
The Christmas tree at the Methodist
Church was attended by an immense
crowd, probably by 500 children ans
grown people: The tree was a very large

while Supt. Stewart did every thing tc
make glad the hearts of the children and
he was happily rewarded.
