Dan Mcleod Home Burned On June 7th..

In the hurry OF getting to press
last week with court having con
vened in town and other pressing
matters upon US, we misplaced our
note on it, and overlooked making
mention of the burning of the Dan
Mcleod home IN Leakesyille which
occurred on Friday June 9TH, the
flames being discovered about IL o.
clock on kitchen roof having caught
out from possible defective flue,
and the top OF the house was soon
wrapped IN flames. Fortunately
Mrs. d. E. Breland caught onto the
fire and telephoned round town and
in a few minutes autos had whizzed
down there and the willing hands
soon had most OF the household eff
feet carried out and saved 1t was
quick work, hot work and grew to
be dangerous work before the forces
were called off account the fire get
ting down into the main parG OF the
building. By LAO the building had
burned to the ground, being itself a
a complete loss though the barn near
by was saved. The house belonged
to d. e. Breland, who had given Mr..
Mcleod lifetime tenure of occu-
pancy at the time he procured it.

Nv. SIS,

Information reaches US that Mrs.
M. NJ. Merchant, the well-known re-
ligious worker OF Clara, Wayne Co.,
Miss, DIED recently with dropsical
trouble. She was troubled with a
tamor in the abdomen several years
ago which seemed to have passed off
and later this other affection came
and took her off. She worked in
some meetings in this county several
years ago and was woman of deep
piety and marked zeal.

This section has been in the grip
of hot wave for several days now.
Saturday the thermometer got up to
"a. Sunday it was SO and Monday
100. These are the figures reported
oy the local weather observer, DIR.
Sam Pool. Also there was 2.73
rainfall on June 8, the dav of the
hail when water accumulated so fast
on the ground and in low places and
hollows and streams within less than
an hours time that the precipitation
was so heavy in such a short space
of time and the hail melted about as
it fell and thus played its part in
swelling the amount OF water.

GARD OF THANKS.

We desire to take this means OF
extending our sincere thanks to all
who so quickly responded and work
ed so heroically at the fire which
burned down our home and by their
prompt efforts saved nearly all of
our household effects. Your kind
nesses will ever be remembered and
appreciated.

A fist and skull fight occurred
Monday night in our town twixt
Bert Green and Claude Byrd, On
lockers think the first named got
the most of the punishment, but the
Herald does not vouch for who got
the best of any fight which we did
not see; in fact we are sorry to hear
of them, but it seems sometimes
there is nc other way to cool the
passions. AS we understand 1t all
parties have made it up and the mat

Work is proceeding still rapidly on
rebuilding the Bear Greek mill
plant. The main body of the mill is
already up so far as the frame work
is concerned. 10 fact thew got part
of the rafters up last week and some

and we understand some of the ma

this week. Much of the old wreck
age has been cleared away and other
