Home of MIR. H. S. Bowling Burned

The friends of Mr.. and Mrs. H.

learn with regret of their home be-
ing completely destroyed by fire, to-
gether with nearly all of their house
hold effects, last week. In addition
to the burning of Mr.. Dowling's S
home, the home of their next door
neighbor, Mr.. McGee, was burned,
and a number of other houses in the
neighborhood saved only through the
hard and heroic work of the Ander-
son fire department. The fire origi-
mated in Mr.. Dowling's home, proba-
bly, from a defective flue, as Mrs.
Bowling had just burned some trash
in one of the freplaces. The house
was enveloped in flames before the
arrival of the fire department., and
very little could be done to save the
building. A few odd articles of fur
niture and the piano were saved.
The residence was owned by Mrs. l..
A. Sharpe, who resided with Mr.. and
Mrs. Dowling, and was valued at
$4,000, with $4,000 insurance. The
furniture was insured for $500. Mr..
Bowling was away from home at the
time.

A Correction.

, Editor Bamberg Herald:-1n the
obituary of Mrs. Annie Moye O'Neal,
appearing in recent issue of your
paper, there occurred little mis-
take that I wish to correct. The
statement was made that after the
death of Mrs. O'Neal's mother, "she
made her home, for sometime, with
her aunt, Mrs. Col. Counts" l should
have said that she made her home
with her aunt, Mrs. A. ]. Brabham.
The mistake was mine, and I regret
that it should have been made.
Please do me the kindness to call at
tention to the correction in your next
issue,, and greatly oblige,
E. A. MCDOWELL.
