UNION.
Times, May 8: On last Wednesday
night, about IL o'clock, the barn and
stables of Mr. R. A. Holcomb, Of Bo-
gansville, were burned to the ground.
Mrs. Holcomb was awakened by the
roar of the flames, and walked Mr.. Hol-
comb, who got up and looked out only
to find his stables in flames. The
alarm was given but the fire had gain
ed too much headway and the building
could not be saved. But by the heroic
efforts Of neighbors the cotton house,
between the stables and the residence,
was saved. 1t was a fortunate circum-
stance that the wind was blowing away
from the other two buildings. Had 1t
been blowing towards the residence it
would in all probability have been
burned. The stables were about so
yards from the house. Mr.. Holcomb
lost his two fine mules, valued at $3.50,
80 bushels Of corn, which he had recent
ly bought, and $50 bundles of fodder. 1t
is a sad blow to Mr.. Holcomb and he
has the sympathy Of the entire commu-
nifty.
