..o~a - ,,oootb Mr. Joo N Mil
ler, Jr., nephew Of Mrs. A. G. Brice,
died at his home at Camden, Ala, yes
terday morning after a brief illness
from typhoid fever. Mr.. Miller in
company with his sister spent few
days here recently on his way home
from jamestown, leaving here on July
22nd. He had many friends here, who
will grieve to learn Of his sad and un-
timely demise. Mr.. Miller was only
eighteen years of age. He was the son
Of Mr.. Jos. N. Miller, and was regard
ed as a bright and promising young
man. While at Jamestown he repre-
sented the state Of Alabama at con-
vention Of young men, delivering an
address on the subject, virginia and
History" which was most favorably
received. Mr.. Miller's intention was to
enter Erskine college this fall, and
there Is no doubt that bright acad-
emic career awaited him. Mr.. j.
Ed Sadler proprietor Of the Shandon
hotel at Yorkvllle, is in the city to-
fc NJ
bered here as the popular clerk at the
Nicholson hotel during the days when
the Messrs Greene conducted the
hostelry. ... A fire in the feed loft OF
Samuel Bros stables on Columbia
street at about o'clock this morning
practically destroyed about two hun
dred bales Of valuable hay. Fortu-
nately all Of the stock and vehicles
were saved without injury, the only
loss being the destruction Of proven
der as stated and some damage to sew
eral sets of harness. 1t was fortu-
nate. indeed, that the fire did not oc-
cur at night. There is considerable
conjecture as to how the blaze started,
the general opinion being that it origi-
mated from combustion in the feed loft.
Lantern, August 2: Mrs. Carrie
Walker went to Yorkville this morning
to spend a few days with relatives. -.
Mr.. L. T. Nichols family, Mrs. ]. S.

..... .Postoffice Inspector H. o. Hal
verstadt has about completed all the
necessary preliminary work relating
to the installation of free city deliv-
cry, and the papers will be forwarded
to Washington this week. Three routes
have been laid off, and there is a possi-
bility of four, but not for the present.
1t is contrary to the rules of the SER
vice to make deliveries on streets that
or where they are not in good order.
For this reason it has been found ad-
visable to eliminate certain districts Of
the city from free delivery for the
present. If the government decides to
institute free delivery here, and there
iss very prospect that such will be the
case on the three routes laid off, the
service will commence about October
1st, it is presumed. Mr.. Halverstadt
states that certain districts of the area
visited and that are to be included in
the three routes laid off are lacking in
numbers and streets signs, but it is
understood that the city has made an
order for the necessary numbers and
signs. and this deficiency will doubtless
be remedied. A farmer near town.
as modest as he is kind, enterprising
and successful, has brought us, not
one measley peach but a bagful. He
says he wants us to down that Lam
caster paper He authorizes us to
send the editor one to smell If he will
agree to extract his teeth and keep
them in his pocket while he Is at It..
We suppose this will settle him. We
are glad at least to be able to show
him that we have more friends than
he has. We want it understood that
our farmer friend has more peaches
at home and we may see more of
them.
