Barn Burned Sunday Morning.

One of Geo. COsner's barns burned
to the ground Sunday morning under
peculiar circumstances. The barn
was being used by Jno. and Lee
Campbell, who have rice farm near
it. Although the barn had been used
as a sleeping place for some negro
help, yet none of them had been there
since Saturday noon, and Sunday
morning Lee Campbell had done his
feeding and returned to the house for
breakfast, when it was noticed that
the barn was. on fire. They had bare
ly time to get their mules out when the
barn became entirely enveloped in
flames. The origin of the fire is a
mystery. Mr.. Cosner's loss is about
$500, while the Campbell'S lose their
Irvine, feed, harness etc.

afternoon he spoke to some fifty or
sixty people in the Congregational

In the evening DR.. Smith spoke in
the Presbyterian church to packed
audience, who listened with the deep

The speaker is in dead earnest on the
temperance question, and has a find
of information that enables him to
strike the vital point of the enemy, as
we'll as to reveal the insincerity and
half-heartedness of the professed

policemen, drew a distinction between
splitting and expectorating, being OF
the opinion that splitting saliva and
tobacco juice did not constitute ex-
pectorating or violation OF the law.
He was OF the opinion that the intent
Of the law was 10 avoid the spread OF
disease through matter deposited on
the sidewalks and floors. The author
OF the bill, however, Senator Rowland
Of Barre, says that II was the intent
OF the law 10 stop splitting OF tobacco
juice and every other kind OF splitting
or expectoration.
Whatever the intent OF the law was,
certain IL Is that people have given the
law credit for being drawn up not
only In the interest OF health but In
the interest OF appearance. Since II
went Into effect the sidewalks have
been much cleaner, so much so that
