House Struck by Lightning
and Burned to the Ground.

Abbeville special in the News
and Courier: AN electric storm
of considerable severity passed
over the northern section of this
county last night. At about 8
O'Clock the home of the Hon.
Joseph Norton Nance, who rep
resented this county for one term
in the Legislature, was struck by
lightning and was consumed in a
short while. One Of his children
was considerably shocked. The
fact that the house was on fire
was not discovered in the storm
and confusion until it was too
late to arrest the progress of the
flames.
Mr.. Nance's first efforts were
directed to getting his family in
a safe place, so that almost the
entire contents of the house were
consumed. The house was located
about one mile northwest of the
town of Due West. On account
of the lateness of the alarm help
from the town was not in time to
do much. Some furniture and a
handsome piano were taken out
but very much Scared by the fire
and the piano remained in the
rain, which continued for nearly
two hours.

PIE MAKING SUGGESTIONS.

for if it has not sufficient substance it
will, when baked, be dry and tasteless.

Remember TO flour well both the
board and the rolling pin when rolling
out the paste.
Butter the tins well before putting
in the under crust; burned or iardy
crusts are most distasteful and I'M
wholesome
In cold weather the pie should be
placed on the mantel OF the range or
in the oven for minute before ocing
served.
Sweet apples are not meant for pes.

Sweet apples, when cooked, are most

Cranberries should be stewed with

be added at tie table if necessary.
Mince pies are always made with a
