FIRE AT WARM SPRINGS
Waru Springs, Ga., September 16.
—[Special.]—The Warm Spring* Ho¬
tel and the cottage of Mrs. Mustang,
the grandmother of the hotel propri¬
etor, w ere totally destroyed by
last night. The fire must have caught
in the kitchen, as that end of the
building was in full Ware when first
discovered. The fire broke out at-
midnight and at two o'clock th«
buildings were burned te the ground.
Hie season being nearly over, there
were few guests, all of whom escaped
with their baggage. None of the ho¬
tel furniture was saved. The build¬
ing and furniture were very old, and
burned like tinder.

Alderman Burr thought that the

Another point, is after have properly covered gin¬

and keep it in good condition.
There is complaint that some of
the cotton, covered with cotton bag¬
ging, that has thus far reached the
port* is insufficiently covered. The
farmer who does not pnt enough
covering on his bales to confine the
cotton makes a costly mistake. of One the

quently a loss in weight. Another is
tost the cotton is exposed to the

value, therefore, is decreased. Still

Those who have taken advantage
of the opportunities offered them for
the last two weeks, have l**entreated
to a series of eloquent, logical and
instructive discourses by Elder J. A.
Perdue of the Christiau church. It
was the good pleasure of the writer
clear and instructive. Taking for
his text the language found in 2nd
Cor. 48, “But if our gospel be hid, ft
is hid to them that are lost,’* Mr.
Perdue stated that the same Aportle
who wrote this, declares in another
place that “The gospel is the power
of God unto salvation to every one
that betieveth.” That being the
case, it behooves us to use aM dili¬
gence to ascertain what the Gospel is.
Looking into the Sacred: Scriptures,
our only guide iu thingB pertaining
to salvation, we find the gospel prt|
sen ted in several phases. There i*
the Abraham; gospel to the promise, gospel as perspective, preache|
to
as seen in the types and shadow of
the Jewish religion; the gospel pros¬
pective as preached by John, bj
Jesus himself, by the 70 and the 12
under the first commission;
and the gospel rofWtimntajtoJ, preached
or in fact, as
under tb* last commission. The tort
is that in which we today are direct¬
ly interested. Concerning that, in
1st Cor. 15, l-4>we hear Paul declare
it to consist of three facte to be be¬
find lieved. the Lookingjfarther,however, Apostle, in 2 Tbesa.l, we
