FIRE AT HAMPTON.
M. B. North's Store House and Goods
Damaged About $300.
SpMlal to the Maw*.
Hahi’TOX, Ox , May 14.—During
the atill hours of Sabbath night a
timely watchman aroused the citi
zens from their quiet slainberiugB
with the fire alarm. The flames
were just getting under headway
when a posse of pedestrians discover
ed the fire to be located in M. B.
Norths store.
It was unquestionably accidental,
snd caused by rats eating the
matches, as the fire was entirely in
side and fur removed from any open
tng, and no traces indicated iucen
diarism. The application of a dozen
buckets of water extinguished the
greedy flames within one hour's
time, wheu all was quiet and every
one returned to dreamy land. The
loss to goods was estimated by Mr,
North to be about f3()0. The
I ouee being brick, only u few draw
ers and shakes were destroyed, ami
can soon be replaced. Mr. North
carries a good insurance and keeps
well protected.
“The Proper Study of Mankind is Man,’

woman, and the peculiar derangements
to which her delicate system is liable
Many women in tho laud who aro ae
qaainted with Dr. Pierce only through
his “Favorite Prescription,” bless him
with all their hearts, for he has brought
them the panacea for all those chronic
ailmente peculiar to their sex, such as
lencorrhcee, prolapsus and internal other displace
meats, ulceration, 1 fever,"
bloating, tendency to lateral reduced cancer, and

Blowing Up Hell Hate
has been a laborious aud costly work,
but tue end justifies the effort. Obstruc
tion in any important channel means dis
aster. Obstructions in the organs of the
human body bring inevitable disease.
They must bo cleared away, or physical
wreck will follow. Keep the liver in or
der, and the pure blood coures through
the body, conveying health, strength
aud life: let it become disordered and
the channels are clogged with impuri
ties, which result in disease and death.
No other mediciue equals Dr. Pierce’s
“Golden Medical Discovery” for acting
upou tho liver and purifyiug the blood.

thing of mo e importance than fish

to give up their fisbiDg for a whils
and fight General Green, except A.
C. Driver. His pray lts and wishes
have been for a wet spell to cause
the farmers to have grass in their
crops so as to stop everybody from
fisbiDg except himself and P. F. Bor
ders, with whom he generally fishes.
He is proving that he meant wbat
be said, as he goes every otLer day,
and the days that they are not fish
ing they are making preparations
for it.
Corn crops look fine and I have
seen sorrier prospects for a cotton
crop, and I believe that if faitbfal
work and economy on the part of
the farmers will prove a blessing to
the country, we may look forward to
a prosperous future, as I have never
seen the farmers work better or use
more economy than at this time.
W, M. Digby, formerly of your

While speaking of the young folks
I will say something of the old ones.
S. S. Coggins age is just 37 and his
wife‘s 35, and they are the grandfath
er and grandmother of a fine boy,
which places them on the list with
old folks; and I expect that they are
the youngest grandparents in this
cennty, if not in }he State.
We have some weddings or mar
riages in this section, and I believe
those of the young folks that are not
married are trying to make their
srrftDgements to marry, and I hope
they will, for 1 like to hear of if. We
had a'marriage last Sunday evening.
Mr- A. F. Borden and a daughter of
Mr. J. E. Hallman, being well ac
qaainted with the style in this conn
try, took a ranning 6tarl and could
not stop until they reached tho resi
dence of W, J. Coggins, Esq , and
while under tho excitement of tbe
race were married—through a mis
take, I think, as I have long been
acquainted with Mr. Borders and
never knew of his visiting any lady.
But as this mistake has occured,! join
Others in wishing them a happy fu
ture and that their future mistakes
will prove as pleasant to them as this
seems to be. Reeks.
