The pastor of the Jordan Circuit
Rev. S. D. Bailey entertained at his
home at Jordan the stewards OF his
charge last Thursday, and the occasion
was a pleasant. After dinner the
ssffth quarter" met a final settlement
was made, and MIR. Bailey is proud OF
the results. This Circuit has done well
under the present minister's charge.
His work is gratifying to his members;
aud no one feels prouGer OF the gooo
results than the pastor himself.
He is beloved by his congregations.
and he has made many friends outside
of his own church. AS Thanksgiving
offering some OF his members remem.
bered him with the good things Of this
life. which he appreciates as only
Methodist preacher and a newspaper
editor can.
A fire fiend is about in the land. and
every effort should be made to capture
him. Last Sunday night the barn and
stables of Major y. c. Davis, about 1our
miles southwest of Manning, were de
stroyed by fire, and there IS every evil
dence of its being the work OF an lncen-
diary. The night before Major Davis
discovered his mill house on fire in time
to save it before it had made much
headway. An examination showed
marks of kerosene having been used.
SUNDAY night about nine O'Clock Mrs.
Davis. hearing noise. told her husband,
and he thinking it was at the mill went
there but found everything all rlgnt,
and as he was about to go back to the
house he looked up in time to see the
flames bursting through his barn, and
it was only after the hardest kind OF
work that ne succeeded in saving his
stock. The corn and forage and other
things were consumed. We understand
that Major Davis is partially insured,
and sincerely hope it is true, for to have
a total loss would be very severe upon
him. We also hope that immediate
action will be taken to bring the culprlt
before the law.
