On Wednesday morning Mr. Jeff Baker had the misfortune to have his gin house and ma¬ chinery, near Veal’s store, de¬ stroyed by fire, which caught from friction. Several bales of cotton belonging to differeuljpar ties were burned, beeides about 3,000 bushels of cotton seed. Mr. King, who is a cripple, had five bales consumed. Mr. Sam Preston, who was in the lint room at the time made a narrow escape. We understand that there was no insurance. The loss is a se¬ rious one to Mr. Baker and oth¬ er persons who had cotton and, seed in and near the gin house. j We are indebted to Mr. W. A. Scott for the above informa¬ tion] Just as we go to press we learn that Mr. Bat White was strick¬ en with paralysis last Wednes¬ day nignt.
