Auditor E. F. Reid, of the G. & NV.
railroad, passed here yesterday morn
ing. He showed us a letter from
General Barber, president of the road,
in which he stated his regret of bis
Inability to furnish cars sufficient, to do
the freight traffic of the road. The
road is being expanded into standard
guage, and cannot, of course, afford to
purchase new rolling stock to meet the
present growing increase in business.
But the friends of the road will be
glad to know that as soon as the road
is expanded, fine up to date cars will
be put on and then the road will be
able to do all its freight and passen'
ger business with more satisfaction to
itself and its patrons.

cf.; Mcintyre, p. rf...'''''''Mr. c. w.
Miller, who lives near the line between
Union and Bogansville townships. re-
ports that he had another house on his
place burned down Thursday night OF
last week. 1t has the appearance OF
being the work of an incendiary. 1t
was an old tenant house, which had
been used for sometime as plunder
house. The fire occurred sometime
late at night and Mr.. Miller nor any
of his family were awakened by it.
The first he knew of the fire was when
he got up next morning and saw the
smouldering heaps, of Goals where the
house had stood. None of the hands
on the place had seen it either. 1t is
likely the fire was an effort on the
part of some one to get Mr.. Miller and
family out to it, so that a robbery OF
the dwelling might be effected, and
possibly a more serious fire started.
Some two months ago he lost another
house of the same kind, and about the
same distance, 200 yards from his
dwelling, only on another side of the
house. Neither house was OF much
value; but it looks very much like the
firebugs were still plying their nefar.
ious practices. If few of them could
be caught and shot down in the act, it
might put stop to the business. There
must be nest of reptiles in the upper
part of this county. And wedding
out would be an act of public good.
