House Destroyed by Fire.

Last Saturday afternoon about 1
o'clock the residence occupied by, Mr..
A. M. Sandifer and family caught on
fire and was completely destroyed.
The house was the property of the
Bamberg Cotton Mills company, and
was a very neat cottage. Mr.. Sandi-
fer suffered the loss Of much Of his
household goods, although a good
portion was rescued from the house
before it was burned.
t The adjoining house, also one of
the mill cottages, caught on fire sew
eral times, but the fire department
succeeded in saving it, although the
building was considerably damaged.
This house was occupied by Mr.. J.
D. Sandifer, and as all of the house
hold effects were removed, he suffer-
ed little loss. The fire department
did excellent work in combining the
blaze, as a heavy gale was blowing
at the time, and at n time the fire
had the appearance Of being a dan
gerous conflagration. Tho residence
of Mr.. A. NJ. Sandifer was practically
burned before the alarm was given.

Death of an Old Negress.

Sunday morning old Aunt Celie
Bryant, perhaps the oldest resident
of Bamberg, died in this city. 1t is
said that Aunt Celie. was between
80 and 100 years old. She was b
led Monday at the colored cemetery
here. Aunt Celie was an old slavery
time woman. She belonged during
slavery to the Huetts, who lived in
Charleston. After the freedom of the
slaves she remained with the family,
and when the Huetts came to Bam-
berg after the war she came with
them, remaining here until her death.
About a month ago her clothes
caught on fire while she was stand
ing in front of the fireplace, and
while she was not seriously burned,
this probably contributed to her
death. She was a good old woman,
and she had the respect Of all the
people, white and colored. Being a
negro of the old order, she was ever
loyal to the white people, and she
was treated by the families where
she was accustomed to work almost
as one of the family.

Bamberg county was saddened on
Friday morning when it was known
that Mr.. Joseph G. H. Guess, of Den

school and. one of the founders and
vice president until his death of the
Citizens Exchange Bank of Denmark.
In the sixties he answered his coun-
try's call and served four years on
coast duty in and around Charles
ton. During the present war, al
though at an advanced age and in
feeble health, he followed its prog
ress with keen interest and patriotic
response.
On Friday evening at 4:30 o'clock
his body was laid to rest in the city
cemetery, surrounded by his fam
lily and a concourse of loving friends.
Mr.. Guess was twice married, first
to Miss Susan Barr, Of Lexington,
and by this marriage two sons sur
vive, the Rev. Bellinger Guess, of
Chesterfield, and Mr.. Eugene B.
Guess, of Oakwood. His second wife

dictionary forces in France, and Mes

the cause of her death. She leaves
