WELLMAN NOTES.

Fire Fire The residence of Mrs.
Chas. Converse was found to be on
fire about II o'clock Thursday. There
was no one at home except the cook,
Mrs. Converse having gone north, and
her two daughters at Brookhaven in
college. The people saved part of
the household furniture, but the loss
was very great, we do not know how
much. Mr.. Archie Mccormick lost
about all he had in the house, espec-
tally his favorite shot guns. The brave
old things fought we'll by their contin-
ual popping and cracking, but they had
to give up
And on the following morning
which was Friday, about o'clock, we
were aroused from our sleep by the
sound of the fire whistles, Mr.. Ollie
Ways house being on fire. The fam
lily barely made their escape. Most of
his household furniture was saved, but
with considerable damage, being badly
scorched and broken.

IL is fact well-known to many of
our readers, that several years ago,
Rev. J. A. Scarborough, prominent
Baptist minister, who is well-known
throughout the State of Mississippi,
invented and obtained patent on
very simple device in the way of an ad-
Unstable vehicle shaft. Mr.. Scarbo-
rough, being a man of limited means,
and devoting his entire time to minis
terial work, gave the matter but little
attention, never dreaming that he had
fortune in his hands. Last year he
sold one-third interest in his patent
to Jno. T. Coney, thrifty merchant at
johnson Station, and later a joint
stock company was organized at Sum-
init, known as the Scarborough Pa tent
Buggy Shaft Co., the purpose of which
is to place this valuable article on the
market on its own merits. Prominent
among those who have invested money
in this Southern enterprise. is Mr.. G.
Atkinson, who is recognized as one of
the strongest merchants and bankers
in south Mississippi. Mr.. s.
has arranged to have all his appoint
ments filled during the month of May,
and the company has wisely arranged
for him to travel during that month,
visiting the leading cities North and
South, laying his shaft before manu-
facturers, dealers, ETC., a work for
which he seems peculiarly fitted. Mr..
S. has strong preaching talent which
fits him for any pulpit in town or
country, but has chosen rather to pas.
tor the poor country churches, work
in which he has ever been an admirable
success, always enjoying the esteem
and confidence of his brethren. He
weighs 240 pounds, is in his fifty-first
year and enjoys perfect health, is
among the youngest Of the exConfed-
crate soldiers and has a fine store of
war anecdotes. He is billed for a
speech by the committee of arrange
ments at grand reunion of the Con-
federate veterans at Liberty, Miss,
next July, where he fondly expects to
meet many of his comrades in arms.
He says that his peculiar fondness for
the horse led him to construct shaft
to give ease and comfort to the noblest
of Gods animals. We predict a
bright future for this shaft company
which is composed Of some of the best
men of our country
