Loss By Fire.

Mr.. ..Dick" Burroughs had the mis- :
fortune to lose his dwelling, (the
Stephen A. Burroughs home place.
by fire Monday night. While at
work in his tobacco pack house
about nine O'Clock he discovered the
fire but only in time to save probably
S75. 90 worth. With this exception
the building and contents were
burned. The fire attracted quite
number of Mr.. Burroughs neighbors,
but too late to be of service other
than in protecting adjacent buildings.
Fire supposed to have originated
from the cook stove.
The building was a splendid one
and originally cost about $4,000. Mr..
Burroughs had insurance for 200.

More Grain.

From reports that come to us from
the country, we must conclude that
our farmers are sowing more wheat
and oats than usual this fall. We
desire to say to the farmers to let
this good work go on. At the pres
ent prices for tobacco and cotton,
YOU cannot afford to raise them to
buy your wheat and corn and oats
with. Wheat and oats can be grown
to an advantage and at a profit here.
Is not this paradox a key to the Sit
uation for the farmer?
If you do not raise your supplies
at home you cannot afford to raise
tobacco and cotton at any price
Raise your own supplies and you can
raise cotton and tobacco at any
price.

one of his best sermons Sunday
night to a large and appreciative

and practiced in their lives, the
footholds of sin will be torn
asunder in Savannah, and the
spiri .ual welfare of the town placed
mon q safer and better basis.
This concludes his labors for the
present year. At the conclusion
of his sermon he read a statement
of what has been accomplished by
the church the past year, at TINS
