Arrested.—On Saturday last, our
vigilant Sheriff, Capt. C. W. Ennis,
arrested Anderson Hadley, (colored)
who was keeping a restaurant in a

since successfully eluded the officers

On Thursday night the wholesale
house of W. T. Conn & Co.’came very
near being destroyed by fire. Several

cause, but fortunately failed to set
fire to anything else. Many fires are
doubtless caused by matches, and
merchants should he careful to store
them with an eye to their surround
ings, and in our homes they should
be placed where they could do no
damage if struck by rats or otherwise
ignited.
Our Fire Company “The Vigilant,”
turned out on Friday evening and af

showing off their red shirt uniforms
to the best advantage, exhibited the
power and readiness for work of their
engine by throwing water from the
street cisterns. It gave the small boys
a good show which they seemed bv
their shouts to enjoy very much, and
also gave owners of property in hous
es cause to feel that they were pro
tected by a useful and reliable fire or
ganization.
