I Fire Last Sunday about noon, the par sonage of the colored Methodist church was burned. Fire started at the top of the house, and originated from a spark from the stove flue. Everybody, both white and colored, turned out, ayd in a few minutes everything movable was earned to a placo of safety, even the sash wore taken from tlie windows. No other house was near, and the fire did not spead. We learn that the colored people will rebuild at once.

Get Dogs The county commissioners, sheriff, or some body, should have one or more good dogs with which to run down criminals. Sunday night some one entered the residence of Mr. Jack Burch, at Ailey, and robbed | him of a small amount of money. 1 Two residences were entered at Higgston tlie same night, and in each case the burglars escaped. if Sheriff Higgs owned a good dog, he could have captured all of these i burglars, probably.
