The fire was discovered between 8 and 9
o’clock and by this time had made such
rapid headway that all obstructions
yielded to the monstrous flames. As the
gin was run by water and the time the
burning occurred, it muut certainly be
the work of some inhuman wretch. We

A REMARKABLE GUN
Captain Tom Henderson is rated
as one of the best shots in the county,
and some of his exploits with the
sight and trigger read like snatches
from the yellow-backed history of
Davy Crocket and his trusty rifle.
During a recent squirrel hunt
with Captain Sam Adic down the
Macon and Brunswick railroad he
had occasion to strain his wonderful
gun. It seems, from all the in
formation we can gather, that Cap¬
tain Henderson spied a squirrel in
the top of one of the tallest trees in
that section, but the nimble squirrel
evaded the is 6 oe, as it were, and
kept himself hidden, with the ex¬
ception of one foot, behind the limb.
All the noise that was possible, in
such a locality, which bad never yet
been disiurbed by tho blasts of an
amatet r brass baDd or a steam boiler
factory, was made, and yet the squir¬
rel preserved his equilibrium, much
to the Captain’s discomfitnre.
Determined, however, that he
would not be outdone, the Captain
backed from under the tree for the
distance of a hundred aud fifty yards,
and taking aim at the exposed foot,
fired. The squirrel was still for a
moment, as it listening to tne Cap¬
tain’s musical chuckle over the
excellence of bis gun, and th< n
scampered down the tree t« a lower
limb, troro which it attempted to
jump ‘o another and smaller tree.
In the transit, however, the captain,
brought him down, and upon ex
animation fotmd that his first shot
went directly through the centre of
the foot.
The gun was a little strained, it is
true, but it will be in good shape
before being returued to its owner,
from whom the Captain borrowed it
a short time ago,—Telegraph and
Messenger.

system during the short time we ask
for. We have done all we could to
accommodate our customers for the past
nine months. We saw sixty days ago
that the prospects were very gloomy
but still we kept our banners unfurl
ed, our doors open, our stock filled up,
and continued to let our customers have
goods on time. We have never turn¬
ed any one off that we promised to
run. We cordially ask you to call and
see us when in need of goods, as we are
determined to sell extremely LOW
FOR THE CASH We also ask all
who owe us any, either on ncte or ac¬
counts, to please call and settle as we
are compelled to have money to pay our
debts and to run our business, and to
enable us to sell on time another
year. So please let us have a part of
your first cotton. Remember that
prompt pay makes good credit and
secures goods at the lowest prices. Please
help 11s now and we will help you after
v while Trusting we will not be rnisun
