Baconton Items.
About 7 o’clock on Wednesday
evening, Nov. 16th, a cry was
heard, "fire, fire,” and all eyes
immediately turned to the west¬
ern part of the city, and beheld
nothing but the mad flames tow¬
ering high from the roof of our
new Baptist church. A few mo¬
ments and the whole town is alive
with men, women and children
running eagerly, not to save it
for it was impossible, but to be¬
hold the last crust as it falls. The
flames leap high, but only for a
few moments, but then the steeple
seems to crack suddenly, and
come down, but only to increase
the horror of the sight. The
flames roar and hiss until the
whole house forms a heap of ruin¬
ed timbers. Soon the excitement
is over and nothing remains but
the sacred ground and ashes. Sad
hearts were in Baconton that
night. It is not known how the
house was fired, neither is it
known how much the actual loss
is, but it is estimated at two thous¬
and with a policy of eleven hun¬
dred. There is a will to replace
it and of course there is a way, as
it may be said, "Baconton sel¬
dom fails.” This was not a loss
to the city. What was it? It
was merely a burnt offering to
Gcd.

Thanksgiving has arrived and
the good peopl« all over the land,
we hope, are giving thanks to
their God for having spared the : r
lives thus far, and having be¬
stowed many blessings upon
them. Now or never is the time
in whidh we should give thanks.
