WAIIEHOVBE BUKN ED.
On 'Monday night last, about half
]>nst olovon o’clock firo was seen pro
cccding from the roar of tho store oc
rnj.ied by E. A liioh, and immediate
ly tli.) alarm tvas given.
By the time an efficient forco had
arrived at the scene of desolation tho
flames had so far advano and as to render
tho saving of the buildings in the loy
loss Block an impossibility, and efforts
wore made to save tho goods alono.
Beginning at Crouch's corner as many
goods as possibly could oe, wero 10-
movod from every house in advance
of tho lire, until its progress was ar
rested at. the next corner, tie-, bull ling
on which was occupied by T. J. Hart
as a carriago shop.
The losses in merchandise excepting
J. 11. Crouch, E. A. Rich, Dr. J. R
Janes, Knott & Peeples, Grim & Tuck
er and T. J Hart, was piincipally
caused by tho removal of goods, all
or nearly all being removed in ad
vance of tho fire. An estimate of
these losses as well us those on the
opposite side of tho street, also caused
by joint v a nd; cannot bo given at this wn
ting.
A rough estimate of losses in prop
erty with amount ofiusuranco is as fol
lows:
Building occupied by J. II- Crouch,
belonging to II Rogers, and val
ued at SISOO, no insurance. Building
occupied by E. A. Bich, J. 5\ ■ John
son and 11. C. Peoples and belonging
to E^G. Browr, Esq. valued at $3500,
no insurance. Building occupied l>\
and belonging to Dr. J. lb Janes aim
valued §I2OO, no insurance. Build
in- occupied by and belonging to Crim
& Tucker, valued at §ISOO, no insu
rance. Building occupied by W.
Wooten, T. J. Hart, and Loyloss &
Gridin and belonging to the latter
firm, valued at§2soo, insured for S2OOO.
Buildings belonging to Mr. J.
Hart, and occupied by him as a Car
riago and Blacksmith shop, valued at
§IOOO, no insurance. The large ware
house, belonging to Jonos & Harper,
and valued at §2OOO, no in——
Besides tho losses iu goods not
yet summed up, a largo amount of
Guano, Corn, Bacon, Balt, Ua»S in ß*
Ac., belonging to Messrs. Gnm *
Tucker, Knott & Peeples, and others,
was destroyed in tho store room of
the Warehouse, none of which was
insured. Nor did tho damage stop
l lure . Per tho street was so narrow,
and so groat was tho fear that to
buildings on tho oposito sale "ounl l
consumed, that moio or loss of tho
goods on the opposite'block were re
moved and besides being subdued to
pie ravages of the light finder id gentry
presented a mass of Dry Goods, Grocer
ies, Drugs, Hardware, Priutors lie
Ac Among tho principal loseis on
tho opposite side from tho fire were
Messrs. Deo & Brothers, Hardware
dealers, whose Iron liouso was on tho
side that was burned.
It is useless to speak of effoits that
were made to savo the property and
goods, for it is characteristic of tho
people of this town, white and black,
to work like Trojans at a fire. Tho
greatest difficulty was tho want of
eoruo one to direct movements, thus
securing concert of action, and mak
ing what is done more effective. And
just hero wo would remark that our
(itizons should organize themselves in
to companies, elect officers, and be
governed by them in timo of fiie,
whether they liavo engines, hooks and
ladders, or not.
AroLooKJ'ic.r — For the first time
kinco wc have been a journalist, we
send out our paper with what is known
among the printers as doubtlets ad
vertisements that were printed on the
outside also appearing on tho inside.
Our excuse for this as well as for tho
scarcity of reading matter is that we,
like our neighbors, removed our ma
terial, aud the work of getting it back
into ship shape required so much
tinuTas to renuht tlio'iin’iag of fire'JW
per with a variety an impossibility.

tho loss sustained by us in the burn
ing of out Warehouse wo will be pre
pared to receive, store, ship and sell
cotton, by the 20th of September.

tho President. Quito a respectable <
number of tho substantial farmers of '■
this county wore present, having loft
their homes expecting to hear ascientif
ic address from Col. Holder. Tho Col.
made his appearance, found a good
portion of our town in rshes, tho citi
zens in no condition to hear a long
and well prepared speech, by reason
of tho fatigue and exposure of the
night before, and after consultation
thought best to deliver a short and
practicable fpeeeli on tho subjects
that directly interest us as an ngr.oul
turul people, and to urge the necessity
of holding Annual Fairs. The condi
tion ot our office prevents us from giv
ing a full synopsis of his speech, hut
suffice it to say that it was well receiv
ed, and replete with the best of argu
ments and advice. AV o hope to be
favored with tho address that the
Col a,o! In and prepared at some future
day, and much regret the circumstan
ces which caused tho postponmout.

each and every ono will sco tho noces

Mr. Wright Blacksliear, charged
with forging land deeds, and who, in
default of bail, was sent to Cuthbeit
jail to await his trial at tho next term
of tho Court, died of congestion in
that mansion on Sunday evening last.
Ox tho night of tho fire an aged no
gro woman who had been brave
enough to venture near the flames and
rescue an armful of valuable goods,
was making way with them, when
suddenly she thought she espied a
darning noodle, and oisting down the
valuables remarked, “I made slioro I
seed a darnin’ needle,” and she scrap
ed about in tho sand for the needle
until tho five made her get further.
Building Up.—Wo are pleased to
loam that arrangements are being
made by tho owners of tho lots made
vacant by tho firo to rebuild with
brick. This is a move in the right
direction and wo trust that tho enter
prising owners will not entertain any
ideas or thoughts that would causo
them to hesitate, but go to work at
onco.
There are builders and contractors
ni reacfrrrr-UiJhat will guarantee tho
completion cf tho entiro block by tho
Ist of November.
Cause of Fire.— We have carefully
enquired iuto the probable causo of
the Into lire, and from all tho circum
stance brought to light, do not doubt
it was tho work of au incendiary. It
is a difficult matter to bring to justice
tho demon who puts tho torch to a
building under cover of night, but ef
forts are being mado to ferret out tho
pcrpetrater in this instance. IV© bold
that, and it is tho opinion of somo of
our best citizens, that there is somo
reason to bolievo that tho effort will
• not be in vain.

that has visited us, threw open their

Educational M ketino. — Our friends
in the country nro earnestly requested
to attend an Educational Meeting
which will convene at tho Court liouso
on Tuesday next at 11 o’clock. It is
useless for us to speak of tho impor
tance of having a full attendance, both
from town and country, and take it for
granted that all our people arc alivo
to tho importance of education, and
will merely suggest that it is the great
lover that elevates society, disperses
tho causes for ciimo, and fits a com
munity for tho enjoyment of every
blessing common to man. Let ns
then, with one accord, determine to
improve our educational facilities,
which will not only fit this but gener
ations to come to battle mure success
fully with life’s troubles.

WILSON’S IMPROVED
CITTIV MISS,
X*ittentecl «T«.l.y llth 9 1871.
BEST PRESS IN AMERICA.
rj'lflS TRESS is destined to take the lead of all other Tresses, because it is so slmp’e that any
I ordinary workmau can build ono, ana because it is bo cheap—the entire cost being ees
than Fifty Dollar* ; so speedy in its operation, requi ing only eight rounds with a twelve lout
laver to press a Rale of Cotton ; so convenient that the box can be placed at the liut-room
door ; hence it is decidedly the beat Tress extant. See what the public say :
DeSoto County, Miss., Juno 10, 1871.
This ce-tifies that I have used the WILSON IMPROVED COTTON TRESS, and that it is
the pest Tress I have ever used. I can cheerfully recommend it (o the publie. I. o\\ F.N.

is the best Press in use. 1 ‘

from those who have used it, and from the reputation already acquired, we believe the WIL

NEW ARRANGEMENT
FOR
V•# &, fc, 181 !»
Having disposed of all but a remnant of our Groceries, wo think proper to
announce that we shall not replenish that branch of our busin ss, as wo have
doD im ned to abandon it altogether. This change does not contemplate any
reduction of our business, hut is found necessary to encourage rather than
chi ck the rapid growth of our busmess in other departments. In future we
shall devote ourscl vec exclusively to
RY GOOD ~ BOOTS AND SHOES, CLOTHING,
HATS, FURNISHING GOODS, AND NOTIONS
In our Retail Department, we sha’l offer Dry Goods alone. By Wholesale,
wo shall offer at all seasons the best stock in all the enumerated branches to be
found in this State, or South of New York. YVc invite tho utteution of Mer
chants to an examination of our stock of
Domestic and Woolen Goods,
Which were bought before the late advance, and in which we can ofior great
inducements. We deal heayily in all
GEORGIA MADE GOODS;
And have mado special arrangements with leading Factories whereby we shall
never requ.ro more than the Tactory price. Wo make a special business of
CALICOES.
And shall keep at all times a stock from which anysizo order can be filled.
As we seldom fail to make good impressions on merchants who know their
business, wo hope to roeeivo culls from many this season who have hitherto
failed to do so, as our stock will be unusually atlrac'ive, anu our promptness
in buying certain goods before the advance enables ns to offer some wood bar
gains Respectfully, j. b. ROSS &S. T. COLEMAN.’
