Mr.. Breland's Residence Burned.

OLAR, January 21.-On Wednesday
last, just before sundown, the residence
of Mr.. J. c. Breland accidentally caught
on fire, and owing to the high winds it
was soon in ashes. Two other buildings
caught from the flames of the two-story
dwelling and they too were soon con-
sumed. The fourth house caught, but
was put out.
Owing to the fury Of the gale tanning
the mad. blaze very little of the household
effects were saved, and the furniture
snatched from the flames is 80 broken and
abused till it is almost worthless. Sever
al of his children saved only the clothing
they wore.
Nearly 2,0o0 bushels Of cotton seed
were in one of the out houses burned.
While not total loss, still their value
is cut in two.
There was not one cent of insurance
on anything, so the loss is absolute, and
will aggregate $4,000.
Ten years ago Mr.. Breland lost fully
this much by fire with no insurance. BE
has a large and helpless family, and be-
fore he can get over one misfortune an
other one overtakes him. He has no
money ahead to help him, is in debt, and
he and his family, dozen persons, are
homeless. They are being provided for,
but their home must be restored, and we
appeal to every Herald reader to give
something to this family of misfortunes
"The Lord loveth cheerful giver," and
so now make this appeal to you, each
and every one.

have lived by him all my life, and know
him to be q good man, a good neighbor
and good citizen. NEIaHBoR.

week eating something. Upon investiga-

The proper authorities were notified, and
upon investigation the guilty party was
found to be colored woman by name
Quinnie Jennings. 1t was thought by
the examining physician that the infant
was living and had been murdered and
buried in Mr.. Copeland's rye patch, think
ing thus to hide her guilt. There is no
doubt but such crime will receive pun
ishment to the full extent of the law.

least one hundred yards away from his
