Sund.iy afternoon ut o o’clock, the
alarm t f fire was Hounded, and it was
soon ascertained that the elegant two sto
ry brick house belonging to Mrs. It. E.
Dixon, but occupied by Mrs. M. E. . Pat
ten as a boarding bouse, was on fire, Be
ing Sunday afternoon all the firemen
wore idle, and in a very short time after
the ularm the different fire companies
were on tho spot, rendering what aid lay
in their power. There was such great de
lay from the time the tire was discovered
to the lime the alarm boll was sounded,
that the lire had gotten under full head
way before any of tho fire department
had arrivod. No ono knows the origin of
tho tire, whether it was the result of ac
cident or au incendiary. When first dis
covered it shone forth in full blaze from
the roof of tho houso, and in such posi
tion as very hard to roach.
The ontiro roof was destroyed, and the
upper floor and walls very greatly dam
aged by lire and wntor. The lower por
tion of tho house was deluged, and hence
much injured. Tho house was insured in
tho Georgia Homo Insurance Company
for $5,000. Tho estimated loss on tho
house is $2,500. Tho greatest loss has
fallon ou Mrs. Patten, for aside from the
burniug of hor home, and temporary
broakiug up of her boarding-house, she
has lost Inrgoly in furniture, glass and
silver ware. There wore several families
boarding in the bouse, whoso furniture,
Ac., was insured, Mr. Chapman’s loss,
about $500, was fully coverod in the
Georgia Homo; while Messrs. Henry aud
Win. Bruco, whoso loss is $500, are in
sured with the Firoman’s Fund Insurance
Company. Mr. Verstillo had no insurance
on his furniture, and lost most of it.
While a groat doal was saved, it was
necessarily damaged very much, from
breakage and wator.
Tho lire department did ail they could
to Hftvo tho house and personal property,
while tho City Light Guards (undo a de
tail and guarded the proporty from the
depredations incident to tiros. Such nu
selfishness is to be praised, and is a valu
able adjunct to tho former management.

At ton o’clock in tho sauio night tho
alarm was given, and tho stooping fire
men wero soon aroused and at their posts.
It turned out that tho embors of the same
firo had blnzed out, and that the walls of
the rooms lately extinguished were again
on lire. In a short whilo ovory spark
was extinguished, and ovory Aestigo of
tho tire was suou in oharred posts aud wet
ashes.
Wo particularly regret tho fire on ac
count of the loss, and serious personal
iuconvouionco to Mrs. Patten. Sho has
struggled heroically with adverse fortune,
and now in the present stringency it is
iudood hard. She has the sympathy of
the community, and we hope will soon he

fond lover who blew his nose violently

That Natural Artist Roplies.
J. L. Duffee, “Artist," so-called, hav
ing made a ina’.feions attaok on me iu
Sunday 8 paper, I would state that I never
violated any agreement with him, but I
did refuse to sign his articles with their
servile restrictions, aa he explained them,
whioh the Landshark thought I would,
in my distress, accede to. That consider
able expense ho oomplans about was a cup
of buttermilk and small pieoe of corn
bread. He says that I have pretentions
to a Natural Artist. What they are, and
my merits, 1 trnst time and opportunity
will prove, as I will hereafter be found at

Attention {
As my Address on elementary Aobi-
cultural Chemistry, teaching the ohoap-
est and shortest means for procuring and
compounding manures, is enthusiastically
received and heartily endorsed by almost
every intelligent planter in this section,
and that I may be compensated in a meas
ure somewhat commensurate with the
acknowledged merits of the production
and value of tho information conveyed,
I do from this date establish the price at
50 cents per copy. Iu consideration of
this change, 1 do hereby agree to re
fund the money to any farmer who, after
reading the production, will certify to me
he is not fully satisfied with the invest
ment. There is no slavery ao hopeless
as that whioh compels a man to support a
family by the cultivation of poor laud.
The problem to be solved by the South
before we can hope for agricultural recu
peration and prosperity, is cheap and re
liable manures. The Address solves that
problem. I defy the agricultural or sci
entific world to disprove one fact or post-
tion taken in the Address.
