For the past two weeks this county !
has been swept over by most destrue-

houses have been burned still the dos-
traction to fences anil forests has been

sustained by Mr. G W Well, in the
Western portion of the county, who
had live bales of cotton in the. seed en¬
tirely destroyed, it catching from the
forest fires, while in ou. own imme¬
diate vicinity our fellow-townsmen,
Will Barron, Frank Stewart, and Sam
Chiles, Sr., have bad their fences
burned. At niglit it would look as if
