Another Small Fire.

Last Sabbath's stiffness was bro
ken aoout two o'clock in the after
noon by another startling fire
alarm. The well-house in the yard
of Judge w. F. Roath had caught
from some unknown cause, pre-
sumably spontaneous combustion
or rats and matches. This small
house was totally destroyed and
as the flames were blown directly
toward the dwelling it would have
burned also but for the chemical
engine. The two fires in which
the engine has been used occurred
nearly mile from the engine
house and base of supplies, yet,
against odds, it has performed its
part we'll. Considering the mar
row escape of having his home
burned we are delighted that our
good neighbours misfortune was
no greater than it was.

Little Miss Ellen Dunovant, ,daugh-

Fires are occurring SO frequent
ly as to greatly disturb the slum-
ber and peace of mild OF our d..
citizens. It behooves our city
fathers 10 Increase our fire fighting

Bear in mind the entertainment
in the opera house Friday night.
The following is what has been
SAID of the performance at Union,
S. c.: The Brennan-Sale compa-
nv played here on last night to
large and appreclative audience. 1t
was decidedly the best opera of the
season. 1t was enjoyed by all. Many
ladies and gentlemen were there
who had not been seen III the opera
house for years.
Mr.. John A. Holland, of Ninety
Six, the hustling representative OF
the manufacturers of the famous
Krell piano informs us that not
withstanding the fact that the ca
pacitv of the factory is very great
and one of the best equipped IN the
county, having 120 thousand feet
of floor space enough orders are
now on file to tax the factory to itD
fullest capacity to fill them by the
first of January. This means that
any one who contemplates buying
a Krell piano could not get one be-
fore the new year. You can, how
ever, place your order now and 1t
will be shipped at the earliest pos
sible date. That SO large factory
cannot supply the demand IS a
strong testimonial of itself for the
Krell.
