cannot come. Our sympathies are ten

Just at 4 o’clock on Thursday even
ing, the cry of fire startled our citizens,
and the rolling columns of smoke indi
cated that Mr. W. MoCathtrn’s steam
gin was in flames. Our citizens with one
impulse rushed to the burning build
ing, but being w'thout any appli
ances, and so rapid was the progress of
the flames, that they were unable to
do more than protect the surrounding
houses. Fortunately there was very
little wind, and what little there was,
was from the west, and gently bore the
flames and -parks across the vacant lot
of Messrs. Godbee & Mulkey, in a di
rection in which it mas quite two hun
dred yards to any houses, and thus the
fire was confined to, the gin-house.—
Cause of the fire entirely accidental.
The loss is about $2,100, with an in
surance upon it of $750 Mr. Me
Cathern did not sit down to “cry over
spilt milk,” but with that indomitable
energy which marks the whole composis
tion ot the man, went to work, and be
fore the smouldering ruins are done
smoking, will be on his feet again, as
he informs us he will have another
honse built, engine and gin in position,
and be ready for business the latter
part of next week.

—While in Augusta two weeks ago,
we had the pleasure of a walk through
the great furniture warerooms of
Messr J. L. Bowles & Co., and was
completely dazzled by the magnificent
display preseuted to our view. Here
we saw furniture of all grades, from
that manufactured for every day use, to
that made from the most costly woods
aud after th mo-t elaborate patterns.—
Here was furniture suitable to furnish
the cottage or the palace—that which
cost only a few dollars, and that whioh
cost hundreds. We have no furniture
s'ore or manufact ry in W aynesboro,
and our citizens ofb n send to a dis
tance for their fur ituro, asking the
choice to the dealer when only a few
hour* time would be sufficient to take
them to Augusta, and to the warerooms
of J. L. Bowles & Co., where they can
make their own selections from one
of them st extensive and varied stocks
in the .State, thereby saving money and
often disappointment. On our editori
al p»ge to day will le found the ad
vertisement of this firm, to which we
call the attention of our readers, and
say to them don t p irohase furniture till
you go to Augusta and examine the stock
and prices of J. L. Bowles & Co.

—Wc call the attention of the voters
of Burke county to the announcement
of Hon. P. D. Cox in to-day’s issue —
Cap . Cox has already served the peo-!
pie of this county in the Lower House !
of the State General Assembly, and as
he made a good Representative then,
it is to be supposed that he will not
disappoint his constituents now.
'—Our young friend, Prof. E. H.
Calloway, the efficient and popular
young assistant in the Waynesboro'
Academy, has returned, and resumed
his duties. We must remark upon the
fine, healthy appearance the pure sir
and water of the up-couhtry has given
him during his vacation, and hope he
will now escape the Burke county chills.
—The notorious colored citizen, Tom
Bell, of fighting fame, was arraigned be
fore Justice Godbee to-day under a
charge of an assault with intent to mur
der a little ten year old colored boy.
It seems that Tom’s ire was awakened
by the striking of one of his pet dogs by
a little boy, whereupon the child was
brutally knocked down with a double
barreled shot gun. The State was
represented by Messrs. Perry and Oliver
and the defense by Col. Jones. The
defendant was bound over to the Supe
rior Court In default of a $500 bond to
answer the charge.
