Store Burned.

Mr.. ]. O. Kearse, who lives down in
the Kearse section, only few miles
from Rivers Bridge memorial grounds,
had the misfortune to have his store and
contents totally destroyed by fire last
Sunday morning about four o'clock. MIR.
Kearse was awakened by loud explo-
sion at the store and he hurried out to
find the whole building in flames. The
neighbors soon gathered, but nothing
could be saved, as the fire was too far ad-
vanced. His loss, including the building
and stock of goods, is about $1,000, with
not cent insurance.
The fire is supposed to have been the
work of incendiaries, it being thought that
the store was first robbed and then set on
fire. An examination of the windows
was made and the hinges of one were
broken, so it is thought thieves broke
open this window and robbed the store,
afterwards setting it on fire.
The store of J. Ritter & Son, in the
same section, was broken into and robbed
one night last week. Mr.. Kearse nor Mr..
Ritter have any clue to the parties.

Church Will be Built.

The building committee, which has in
charge the erection of a new Methodist
church, held its second meeting at the
bank last Friday morning, at which time
it was decided to build the new church
on the corner of the parsonage lot, to
front two streets, moving the parsonage
nearer to the Jones residence, and selling
the old church and lot.
The new church is to cost about ten
thousand dollars, to be of brick. The
auditorium is to seat three hundred
people and the lecture room two hundred.
There will be class room and an organ
recess, with study. The rooms will be
divided by a rolling partition, and the
building will be heated from furnace in
the cellar. The floor will be inclined,
the back being higher than the front.
There will be two towers, one small tower
ffty-six feet high and the large tower
ninety feet high. 1t is to be altogether a
modern structure and one that will be an
ornament to the town.
The building committee has set good
example in the matter of liberality, for
they, without leaving their seats, SUBJ
scribed nearly one-fourth of the amount
necessary to erect the church, and with
this good start we have no doubt but that
the balance will be promptly forthcom-
ing.
The subscription lists are in the hands
of the committee, and also the plans OF
the church. Any one wishing TO sub
scribe to the building fund or see the
plans can do so by calling. on the chair
man, Mr.. b. J. Brabham, or any OF the
committee

A Fine Entertainment.

We feel safe in saying that the musical
entertainment at the Fitting School
chapel next Saturday evening, the 5th
instant, will be something good. 1t is
calledtheSwiss Bell Ringers and Asetceam
Trio. The company consists of two ladies
and three gentlemen, and the program
will consist of the latest musical novelties.
They skillfully introduce banjos, man
dolins, guitars, saxophone, piano, hand
bells, sleigh-bells and the latest invention
of organ chimes. These novelties, with a
sprink1ing of vocal music and readings,
give all that can be desired. The most
unique, novel and versatile organization
of its kind before the public.
The company comes highly endorsed by
the press, and we feel sure the perform
ance will be something out of the ordi-
nary and one that our people will
thoroughly enjoy. Seats are now on sale
at W. D. Rhoad's.

A Wonderful Saving.

The largest Methodist church in Geor-
gia, calculated to use over one hundred
gallons of the usual kind of mixed paint
in painting their church.
They used only 80 gallons of the Long,
man s Martinez paint mixed with "a gal
Ions of linseed oil. Actual cost of paint
made was less than $1.e0 per gallon.
Saved over eighty ($S0.00) dollars in
paint, and got big donation besides.
Every church will be given a liberal
quantity whenever they paint.
Many houses are we'll painted with four
gallons of L. s. NJ. and three gallons of
inseed oil mixed Herewith.
Wears and covers like gold.

A Cruel Criticism.

She was an amateur artist and, like
most Of her kind, considered herself
several laps in advance Of the average
amateur. She was eager, however, to
t:now how her work would impress one
Of the masters who had managed to
grasp tickle fame by the back Of the
neck.
One day real painter called at her
home, and she Immediately conceived
the idea Of testing him. She would
show him a specimen Of her handi-
work, but would reveal nothing that
might lead him to suspect her as being
the creator thereof.
So the fair amateur proceeded to
guide the real painter toward her mas
terpiece.
"Of what school would you call this
painting?' she asked expectantly.
"Of the boarding school," promptly
replied the real painter.
And large dark spot suddenly ap-
peared on the brilliant future Of the
iair amateur.

Joanna had no heart history. Men

her, and to their own surprise, married
other women, and sighingly remem-

indigestion, or lost out in some project
Joanna liked men in a comradely way,
and never flirted, for she was very sin
cere, and hated TO hurt any thing. Be
sides, she wanted to keep her heart all
In one piece.
She and Oliver walked and drove
and canoed together, and talked much
about nothing in particular, and said
a lot that they did not mean, which
was a sure method of learning each
others tastes. She ridiculed his COM
monplace title, and began posing to
Phil for the illustrations.
Howbridge tried to get down to work
on his story, which was to be Of no
great length, and which ordinarily he
could have written in few days, but
he made no headway. He could not
suit himself; he made a tumble OF ii.

he entered the studio while she was

with her brilliant sallies. She teased
and dared him, half bewildered and
wholly charmed him. He decided that
she could fiirt most gloriously, and
was ready for her, but by evening she
was again unapproachable.
The next morning he was called to
the studio, where he found Joanna
posing listlessly. Phil was irritated
and critical.
