Stanley, President. | G. W. 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. One of the ablest sermons heard recently was delivered by Rev. C. T. Clark, at the Methodist ehurch Sunday, a. m. The Leaguers once more united¬ ly enjoyed a well arranged pro¬ gram Sunday p. m.
