I The Fire Laddies Cover Themselves
With Dirt, Cinders, Smut
j . And Glory.
j The alarm of fire was sounded at ten
i o clock this morning and in a short time
i it was discovered that a dwelling belong-
! ing to Mr. J. S. .Sharp, on Gull street,
; four doors from Wilson's corner was on
| ^ re i° the upper story. The building
I was an old one, being one of the first
houses erected in that part of the town.
The H. Murphy** having their hose
j house nearest the fire were first to re
spond and in ten minutes alter the alarm
was given they had a well directed
stream on the building. The R. E.
Lee’s and Hose Company 1, responded
promptly and their streams were soon
playing on the house. We have never
seen better, quicker, or more effectual
work at a fire. The interior of the
building was all ablaze and fire had
broken out at two or three points before
the firemen could get in their work, nev
ertheless the fiames were extinguished
and though little more than a wreck, the
entire frame, most of the roof and weath
erboarding are still standing though
useless.
The good work done by the fire lad
dies may be better understood when it is
stated that the residence ot Mr. Nas Wil
son was only twenty feet from the fire
and is not injured. A dwelling on the
north side occupied by Mr. Bird and on
ly about fifty feet distance, is also unin
jured. It was fully demonstrated to-day
that our water pressure is all right and
that our firemen understand their busi
ness. It was also demonstrated that we
need a few light ladders of different
lengths or a hook and ladder company, j
which would be better. The fire to-day j
was centrally located, and at one time it :
looked as if a number of houses would j
go. The street for several hundred i
yards was filled with furniture and
household goods ol every description.
SO INSURANCE.
There was no insurance on the prop- .
erty, the policy expired sonic time since
and had not been renewed.
THE CAUSE OF THE FIRE.
The house was unoccupied, hut a fain- !
ily was preparing to move in and the
building was being .fumigated with sul
phur for the purpose of driving out and
killing the roaches and B. B.’s, which.)
were supposed to be in hiding m the 1
crevices, cracks and crannies. The
young man in charge of the fumigating
had left for the purpose of procuring
wagons to move in and he thinks that an
earthan pot, in which the sulphur was
burning, must have broken. The build
ing, though not burned to the ground,
will probably be almost a total loss.

In Memoriam.
Again we are reminded, in the death
of Lefler McArthur Thomas, that death
is no respecter of persons,but that, like a
scythe, it sweeps young and old, high
and low. The shocking, horrible man
ner of death of this young man, at his
post of duty, is still fresh in the minds
of the people. With the gentle, fond
“by bys” of his mother and sisters ring
ing in his ears he went away to meet
them no more. In the strength of
of young manhood, in the midst of
health and usefulness he was cut down
like a flower and withered like the
grass.
He was the main help of a widowed
mother and was assisting her in raising
a sister and two youngei brothers. Since
the death of his father, four years ago,
his mother naturally looked to him to
aid her in the battle of life, and just
when he was needed most, when he was
beginning to learn something for him
self and enough to assist her, death
came. Attentive to church, good nat
ured and social, he was the life of the
home ; dutiful, obedienf, and industri
ous, he was highly prized bythose for
and with whom he worked.
But he is gone now. Strong, indus
trious, affectionate, full of life, with a
word of love for mother, something for
the brothers and sisters to cheer them,
he went to his death.
Farewell, Lefler! poor, dear boy, your
death was a horrible one, steam-burned,
and drowned—three together, but with
your Savior, there are three together,
and if your life was short—only seven
teen years—and death came so sudden,it
is hoped your retreat from this world’s
tortue waa-saved by the love of a gen
tle Redeemer. ‘
Lefler was iu his seventeenth year,
and leaves a mother, two sisters, the
eldest, Mrs. T. M. Darr, and two small
brothers, besides a host of friends and
acquaintances to mourn his untimely
end.
He sleeps in Lott’s cemetery,. beside
his father to await the sounding of the
trump on'that great day.-
