During the great storm which swept the whole Atlantic coast Christmas many ships were disabled, but in the story of one of the wrecked vessels we have a wonderful tale. The Iroquois became disabled,oft the dreaded Cape llattcras anil a wireless message was sent whiiling through space. Down at Savannah the wireless operator caught the information, hut almost at the same moment the big steamers Mohawk, City of Atlanta and San Marcos, all three received the news and started to assist the vessel. The news ol suc cor was caught up by all the ships and the San Marcos being nearest towed the damaged ship safely to harbor in Charleston. 'Ellis is a demonstration of the wonderful advancement made during the last lew years and the value of such a method of communication can never be computed, for all that a man hath will ho give for his life, and besides the vessels oltcn carry millions in actual wealth. When mankind makes com mensurate progress with science there will be but little left in the way *f sor- sow and suflering and want will be virtually unknown. There is no way to tell just how many ships that go out to sea with a vast uncertainty back ol the cruise, but the dangers are materially lessened when wireless telegraphy is used . Of course, this little story may be used by some ol the promoters of wireless companies in the tnd, but still it serves a purpose here to show what is being done. One of the most disastrous country fires occurring in this section during the past year was burning of the re sidence of Mr. W. R Hardy, near Ivey in Wilkins m county last week. Mr. Ivey is a prominent farmer of the sec tion and tho loss sustained is around $3,000. All his household effects and $400 in money burned. The insurance is hardly more than $1,000. The loss falls heavily on Mr Hardy and his friends here regret it very much. He is well known in Mil ledgeville, trading very much here. After the fire gained headway neigh bors rushed to his rescure and aided in saving the outhouse. Tho famdy went to the home "f Mr. Hardy’s father, Mr. James Fountain and they will remain there until preparations for constructing the new home are complete.
