Library Benefit Bazaar.

The bazaar which was held last Fri
day and Saturday at the new Carnegie
library was an entire success, owing to
the untiring efforts of those who had it
In charge and the liberal support given
them by the residents of this city and
vicinity.
The attractions of the bazaar were
many and sufficiently varied to suit all
tastes. Lack of space prevents us from
giving the detailed description that
each department merited. The visitors.
to the bazaar could spend their time in
admiring the handsome building with
Its convenient arrangements and artis-
tic decorations; visit the Oriental and
Japanese booths, where articles from
eastern lands we're exhibited by Turks
and japanese In native costumes; buy
fancy articles, valentines, candy, ice
cream, and popcorn at the booths where
these articles were temptingly displayed;
have their fortunes told at the gyspy
camp; eat appetizing lunches at the
German cafe; or laugh at the hits on
Manchester business men in the art ex-
hibit.
One of the most interesting and ex-
citing features of the bazaar was the
baby show. The LIST prize for the most
popular baby was given to the Law
renee baby, the End prize to the Beacon
baby and the 3rd prize to the Goen
baby. The prize for the prettiest baby
was awarded to the Crosier baby, with a
second prize for the Stewart baby. The
prize for twins went to the Frentress
babies with the Hogan twins q close
second). The Reeves baby won the
prize given for the latest baby. The
Parker baby secured prize for being
the smallest.
The financial statement of the COM
mittee in charge is IS follows:

zsar held in the new Carnegie Library,
the 18th and 14th inst, submit the fol:

bursements:

The old lady herself was at her
sons, Mr.. John M. Hagins, of
Elgin, and the house was locked
up and left in charge of an old
negro woman living on the prem
ises close by. Mrs. Hagins left
home last Wednesday and there
had been no fire in the house
since she left till it was burned.
Barring rats and matches, the
hou; was set afire. This conclu-
sion seems to be Irresistible. The
neighbors have a theory that it
was robbed and set atire, but
Sheriff Hunter, who went up
there Monday and looked around
carefully, found no evidence to
justify that conclusion. The
place had been sold to MIR. Lee
Steele, who is to get possession
the first of January next. SO it
looks like the loss might fall on
MIR. Steele, though, of course, that
Is a matter tor the future. The
house was worth probably $500
or $400, with no insurance.

Blackmon, who lives two miles
north of town, was totally destroy
ed by fire Saturday afternoon
about 3 o'clock. together with a
portion of his household goods
and $50 in money, which was in
a trunk upstairs, unknown by all

wife was at the spring, having
only short while before the fire
was discovered started a fire in
the stove SO as to have it hot for
cooking supper, shut up the house

lives near there, when the neigh
bors rushed in and saved some of
the household effects. The loss
is probably about $500, with no
insurance. The origin of the fire
