One night last week,several negroes living on
tho plantation of Mr. A. J. Suelson, had a
quilting. During the exercises of the evening,
a negro woman went with a torch light into a
cabin near by, iu which two ne fe ro boys were
sleeping, to hunt a needle. While in there she
accidentally dropped some fire into some com
bustible matter iu the cabin, which nIic did not
notice at the Lime. In a short time the cabin
was enveloped in flames, aud ere tho sleeping
larkieu could be aroused,the burning hous3 had
fallen in. Both negroes, who were good size
plow boys, were burned to death. — Vindicator.
"A Dully Thing."
It is said that some of the students ol Dart
mouth College have derived tho word "restau
rant" from the Latiu res, a thing, and taunts, n
bull, and that consequently res-bmraut means
"a bully thing.” This is true of Mr Valentine
Zimmer’s restaurant in Sterling's building. The
proprietor invited the entire Reporter torce to
dinner there, Tuesday, and tho diuner was fiue.
Talk about a "square meal”—hero was one of
the squarest aud solidest ever served iu La-
Grange. The viauds were iu great variety, aud
were well cooked. We can commend Zimmer’s
restaurant to the public. He furnishes tho best
that can be had at ail times,and fish aud oysleis
iu their season.

qualifications for teaching are good.
Mr.C Graves is a graduate of the Uuivorsity of
Georgia. He has had several years’ experience
in the bnsinesi, and bolds n high position among
the yoang teachers of the State. In West Point,

There were four orchestral pieces, combining
pianos, violins, buss viols, etc., with fine effect,
Miss Nellie Ball sang a solo, "Emharassment;”
Miss Myra Wilkes sang "Waiting Heart;” and
Miss Logan sang "Flower on the way”—all beau
tiful. The piano solo by Miss Twitty and that
by Miss Awtrey were both perlormed iu most
creditable style.
Miss Ida Siakeley’s humorous recitation, with
local bits brought down the house; that of Miss
Harwell was charmingly rendered; while Miss
Fitzgerald’s reuaition of Willis’s "Absalom” was
movingly pathetic. "To thy temple I repair,”
was well sung. Iu the song "When the bund
begins to play," Miss Davis distinguished her
self. Mies Alice and Miss Sallio Cox each fa
vored us with au exquisite violiu solo; and Mas
ter Charley Cox played most creditably a pinuo
solo. Taken altogether it was a very pleasant
affair.
