FURNITURE MOVED WITH CARE"

We are informed that Mrs. S. G..
Taylor, our accommodating postmis-
tress, has leased the brick building of
Mr.. E. j. Hamley, next to his office,
and that it will be completed by the
let of the month so that Mrs. Taylor
can move in by that date. This will
make the postoffice centrally located,
aud will be found quite convenient to
those who have business with the
office. 1t will not be near so conven-
ieut for Mrs. Taylor, who is often
compelled to remain in the office until
near IL O'Clock at night; but the grow
ing town and increase of business
demands more central location than
where the.office is now.
The Banner-Democrat. [volume] (Lake Providence, East Carroll Parish, La.) 1892-current, 1900-10-20
Last Monday morning at IL O'Clock,

Last Monday morning at IL O'Clock,
fire was discovered In the negro
lodging house of Melinda Hughes on
Levee street. The fire originated on
the inside of the roof, in the cone, sup
posed to have been caused by de-
fective fue. 1t was put out Immediately
with buckets of waiter. The next
morning at about half past 8, another
alarm was sounded, anu the house of
Braxton House, in the edge of the will
lows, was in flames, caused also by a
defective flue. On account of a mis-
understanding as to the lack of water
in that locality, the engine was not
used, aud the fire was under such
Roadway, that it is doubtful whether
or not it could have saved much of the
house. All of the furniture aud bed
ding we're saved.
These two fires, following each other
II ouCI buCCCsoiOH, ouCuio
press upon the people the necessity of
having their fues examined every
year, and of cleaning their chimneys.
Had the fire on Levee street got under
Roadway, all of Levee street would
have been consumed, perhaps as far as
the old brick store, and the frame
buildings on Lake street nearest to
Levee street would possibly have
burned also-at least one-third of the
town.
When we take into consideration
this narrow escape from a great disas-
ter, we are justified in insisting that
the authorities make houses-to-house
canvass aud examine oil fiues and
and that those which are
should be repaired or re-
built. Lake Providence had a mar
row escape. Let us guard against
such danger in the future.

1t is reported that down at the big
levee now being built in the lower end
of the parish, at the Dulaney camp, a
negro was found dead in the woods
few days ago, with bullet hole in bis
head and that the buzzards had com.
menced to devour him. No one
seemed to know anything about it or
how long the man had been missing
