to our soction to fail.

Fire at Norcroii.
Just about five o’clock last Sat
urday the quiet little city of Nor
cross was aroused by the cry of
“FireI *’ and when the citizens re
sponded it was found that the
flames were devouring the little
cottage belonging to Mr. R. O.
Modlock, and which was situated
in his yard immediately east of
Ins hotel. The fiamos were under
heat!way and could not be ex
tinguished. No obo was living in
the cottage, tho occupants having
vacated it the day before. Just
how tho fire originated is a mys
tery, and will probably never be
known. The cottage was fully
insured It required heroic work
to save Wall's livery stablo, which
was nearby, aud had the flames
spread Norcross would have sus
tained a very serious loss.

■ A Souvenir of the Civil War.
Mr. W. H. Williams, of Snell
ville, has left with us for perusal
the muster roll of Capt. B. P.
Weaver’s Co. 8., 42nd regular
Georgia volunteers.
The little book contains the
names of all the officers and pri
vates from their enlistment to the
close of the great conflict, together
with a record of deaths in each
year. Mr. Williams was 2nd
Lieutenant of this Company, hav
ing been among the first to enlist,
and was with it all through the
many hard struggles aud battles in
which it was engaged. The roster
of deaths shows that a large num
ber of this company died of wounds
and disease, the record showing
the place of death and the date.
The names of survivors are few iu
number as compared to those who
have gone to join the “great ma
jority.”
Lieut Williams prizes this relic
of the war most highly, and says
he will keep it the jynuaiuder of
his life as Bible.
In future News-
Herald we may roster of
this company as forth to
battle in 1862, togew&r with the
death roll, as noted iu the little
book during the progress of the
war. _ _____
