With the Scovill House and Hornady

BUKNED OUT.
Mr. F. M. Pilcher lost all of his corn
and fodder last Wednesday night by fire
He had just finished hauling in his crop
and lost everything and had to go off
next morning and get corn to feed his
horses. It was with the utmost difficul
ty that his residence and other buildings
were saved. The fire occurred about
bed-time and was undoubtedly, the work
< f n incendiary. Suspicion joints strong
ly to, Louisa Dixon, a colored woman.
Her husband worked for Mr. Pilcher
this year and in settling up gave Mr. P.
his cotton to pay for supplies furnished
during the year. Louisa, it seems was
opposed to her husband’s paying the
debt with the cotton and made threats
to burn it rather than Mr. Pilcher should
realize any benefit from it. The cotton
had just been hauled up and was stand
ing on a wagon near the barn, when it
was fired. She was arrested and had a
hearing Friday, before justice Womack,
but his honor, it seems, did not think the
evidence sufficiently strong to bind her
over to court. Mr. Pilcher’s neighbors
have shown their sympathy in a substan
tial way. Already about half of his loss
has been subscribed in corn and fodder.
WEDDING BELLS.
Tt seems that cupid has been busy of
late hurling his mystic darts at the
hearts of ouv young people, and the re
sult is lots of wedding bells.
A double wedding occured last night
at the residence of Mr. J. T. Collins, Miss
Julia Collins was married to Mr. W. R.
Dupriest and Miss Joe Collins to Mr Les
ter Stewart, Rev. W. W.Tidwell officiat
ing.
On Thursday morning at the residence
of the brides mother Mrs. N. E. Dupriest
Rev. W. W. Tidwell officiating Miss
Mattie Dupriest was married to Mr. J. S.
Hill.
On Tuesday evening Miss Eva Rober
son was married to Mr. W. G. Heath at
the residence of the brides Mother Airs.
Robinson, Rev Mr, Charles Walters offi
dating.
At the residence of the bride’s father,
Jlr. Newton Glover, yesterday afternoon
Miss Lillie Glover was married to Mr.
Myrt Harvey, Rev. Mr. Flanders officiat
ing.
We learn that several other weddings
are on the tapis,
Tom Powell is one of the few black
men who tries to art up to white princi
pies and has brought up his children in
the way they should go. Last week
Tom’s son, Charley, a young man about
grown found a pocket-book in the road
,
leading to County Line Church. Open
ing it, he found it contained a five dol
lar bill, a gold pen, some rail road passes,
receipts and other pay ers. From the
contents, he very easily discovered the
in; me of tlmown- r. who was a stangerto
him, hut he carefully wrapped up the
pocket book, laid it away ail' I sent the
loser word where lie could find it. This
was exactly right and just what any
liom st man would have done, but there
are plenty men, white as well as black,
wlm could not have resisted the tempta
tion to keep the money and say nothing
about finding the book. As it was,
Charley recieved one dollar for his hon
esty and is happy over the consciousness
of having done right.

manufacturing a large part of our goods, we control the output of several of the largest factories in the West. When small
dealers buy from $100 to $150 worth of goods at a time, we buy from $25,000 to $50,000. f OR SPOT CASH, thereby giving
from 1.) to 20 per cent, better discount than they. We are always willing to give our customers the benefit of these big dis
counts. and save you from lOto 20 per cent, on every piece of furniture you buy from us. Another advantage is. we handle
only first-class goods <nd will guarantee every piece we sell you. Our motto is “GOODS AT RETAIL AT WHOLESALE
PRICES.” To prove this we submit a few prices and defy competition:

o0 Ten piece, solid walnut, marble top, toilet bed room suits, large
llieseare only a few of the thousands of bargains we have to offer you, at prices lower titan other dealers pay for the.
same goods. If we, by buying for 18 large stores, in the enormous quantities we do, cannot undersell small dealers, then
the wholesale houses have no advantage over the little one horse dealers that buy a handful of goods at the time.

are the lowest to be found. These goods are the latest designs and the newest shades. MAIL ORDERS have our best atten

Regarding a recent homicide in Wii
cox county the Hawkinsv 1 e Dispatch
on Ito
of 25th ult., in Wilcox county, has been
fully investigated and it turns out to be
a case of purely justifiable homicide.
Mr. Bush surrendered himself to the
proper officers and demanded a prelimi
nary trial, which resulted in his dis
charge. Hughes was an impudent ne
gro, ovdrbearing in disposition, and a
bad citizen generally. Both the white
an d colored people of the neighborhood
exonerate Mr. Bush from all blame.
