Fire.
The gin house of Mr. John T. Cox,
in theC7th district, with almost all
his fodder, a quantity of shingles, a
ton of guano, farming utensiis, etc.
was burned on Saturday night Jast
Loss about $500. No insurance. It
is supposed f o have been of incendi
ary origin as it was discovered
about 3 a. na.
ning, which lasted almost an hour
During the storm lightningstruck
the house of Mrs. T. A. Cox, on
Academy Square, fortunately doing
very little damage. Only a few
shingles along the comb of the
hou^e were torn up. One of fne
lightning rods on the Academy was
struck and the fluid in passing to
the ground knocked several feet ot
guttering from the corner of the
house, knocking it clear over the
engine room One of the chimneys
of the court house, over Judge
Perry’s office, was either blown off
by the wind or knocked off by the
lightning. Many limbs were broken
from the trees in the city.
During the heavy storm lightning
struck the home of Mr. Dozier Hili
at Drone, damaging it severely and
cutting many wild pranks.
Mr. Hill and family had returned
home only a few minutes before
from a visit to Brunswick and Si.
Simon, and were sitting in the hall
way awaiting a summous to supper.
The heavy shock knocked Mr. Hill,
his two littlo sons, Dozier and Jim.
his little daughter Margaret,and Mr.
Arthur Blount,and from their seats
severely shocked Mrs. Hill, and
the house was set on fire in three
places. The effects of the tremend
ous stroke was seen everywhere
In one room up stairs it set a bed
on fire, and in another it knocked
the facing from a window throwing
a piece of plank from the window
across a bed splitting
bedstead.
In the dining room it knocked
off a window frame, tore off the
mantle, and badly damaged a side
board and contents. A knife blade
was almost fused by the terrific
heat.
A wash stand in another room
down stairs was struck, aod se' e al j
plank of the weatherboarding ofj
ihis room was knocked off.
It then entered a closet, tearing
up the door framing, took a squint
along the barrel of Mr. Hill’s gun
melted the smafl piece of gutta per-
cha from the end of the pistol grip
of the gun stock, and set some arti
cles in the closet ou fire. The gun
was loaded but was not fired by
the lightning.
In the parlor, the mantle and
sofa w T era set on fire and pictures
knocked down and badly smoked
or scorched.
The entire house from top to
bottom was effected by the stroke.
Planks in the ceiiing are split and
ether timbers strained.
The hail was where the family
were sitting was the least affected
and the family were indeed, for
tunate in escaping death from the
lightning and the fire created by it
The immediate recovery from the
shock and Ihe presence of mind of
Mr. Hill in quickly putting out ‘he
fire released them from their sec
ond danger.

some smalt bolls of cotton from his

in eats everything in eight, and
after Meaning up the entire crop of

the heathen for thine inheritance
and the uttermost parts of the earth
for thy possession and we know if
we go to Him in faith He will hear
and answer us.” Let us, the women
of tha Baptist church come togeth
