Another ResidenceRntnrnted With Oil and Darned. Firebugs got in their work again yes* terday morning, and as a result another handsome dwelling is in ruins, or at least damaged beyond repair. At 6:20 o’clock an alarm was sent in from East Americus, and a tr.lnute later the department had gone to the scene in a sweeping gallop. The distance was nearly a mile bat, notwithstanding, the firemen arrived In time to render effec tive eervlce. The burned boose belonged to the Cobb estate, and was the home of tbe late Robert Cobb. It was a large, alz- room house, one of tie first built in Amerious, but was a oozy and comforta ble dwelling. Tbe roof had fallen In when the de partment arrived, but tbe three streams turned upon it soon extinguished the fire. When Foreman Smith made an ex amination be dlsoovered that the house had been fired in ten or a dozen place*. Gallons of coil oil bad been dashed ■ upon tbe floor and walls, and in the f rooms but slightly dsmiged the oil had spread over the entire floor. In another room holes had boon cut through the plastering, and into tb*** «*v«ral gal • ions of kerosene had been poured. The house was unoccupied, and tbe Incendiaries had plenty of time to do their work weU. This is the third fire in that locality within the pant three or four weeks, and in each instance kero sene oil waa freely used. There is no clue to the perpetrator of thla diabolical erlme, but If a suitable reward was of fered the guilty parties would soon be captured. The house cost originally about $fi, 000 and was Insured in tbe Commercial Insurance Co., Limited, of London, for •1,000.

Quite a party of Oglethorpe people, among whom were several ladlea, were in the city shopping yesterday. Conve nient achedales on the Central and 8.

An attempt to give a list of those af flicted with the prevailing malady—la grippe—would be well-nigh Impossible' Familiar faces are missed from every ■tore and office, and throughout the city It Is one long, continuous sneeze.
