Small Fire.—Friday after-
noon about 3:30 the old Wat-
rousvile , A. M. E. church was
totally destroyEd by fire. The
building Was qf wood and in
fine condition to burn; if was
erected in 1865 and for a long
time was»used by the colored
people $s a church, but latter-
ly has dorie duty as "a school
house; it was open and airy and
Was a place of resort or play-
house; some colored children
were having a fine time playing
with matches and coal oil; they
would pour a little coal oil on
the floor and strike a match set-
t I ■ ...
ting the oil on fire to see it
burr.. They tried the experi-
ment just once too often as the
fire got beyond their control.
The loss is probably $250 or
$300, but we did not learn that
there was any insurance. Two
colored families living near
moved out their plunder in a
hurry and moved back at their
leisure.
Jhe-Banher regrets,to learft ■
of-the <fcafe . of Mrs. -August!!
Weibusch, wife of Mr. Clem
Weibusch of this city, which
occurred at Waco. Mrs. W.
had been an inyajid for several
months and had gone on a visit
to her relatives at Waco, think-
ing the change would prove
beneficial. She was a devout
member of the German Metho-
dist church; a good neighbor
and a kind, affectionate wife
and mother. Peace to her
ashes.
Last night about half past
nine o'clock a colored hoodlum
raised a fine row at Els' saloon,
and during the absence of a
man in search of a police-
man the hoodlum skipped. If
the chfftfUc disturbers of the
peace were fined good round
sums, such as would do a stout
hoodlum good—say kom £25
to $56 els an jntroductoiy or
first (fose, and If the fines were
not promptly paid they were
made to work their fines out on
the streets the hoodlum busi-
ness njwM soon be broken up.
In IfciS regard there should be
no distinction made on account
of color.
Mixed Springs —Capt. Gray,
whfc hM ju«t returned from
Gr[(pis"qj>iinty, *»ys that threp
jnrtes from the White Sulphur
spring, mentioned elsewhere,
on the farm of a man named
Lamb, and in an area of fonr or
five acres there are seven
springs, • each one affording a
different variety of mineral
water. On the place there is a
shallow well emitting gas that
burns the same as the burning
well in this county.

of cotton in
the hands of innocent pur-
chasers. Under the law a land-
lord has the first lien on the
product of his land until the
rent is paid, and the tenant has
no right to remove any pro-
duce without the consent of the
owner of the land. Buyers
should not buy tenants' cotton
unless they are certain that the
laid rent has been paid. In
the two cases mentioned the
landlords applied for writs to
recover bales of cotton that had
been hauled off their farms be-
fore the retlt had been paid.
Tenants would avoid trouble by
providing themselves with a
landlords' authority to sell pro-
duce.
Ernest King, Esq., editor of
the Fall River, Mass. Sun, edi-
torially mentions that he was
cured of severe rheumatism by
bk Jacobs Oil.
The Buffalo Commercial Ad-
vertiser mentions what may be
safely set down as the worst
case of spelling of recent record.
Jt occurred hi a *tnotisu of a
"sellybrashum" to be held on
the shores of "Lake Eary,"and
mentioned the occasion as a
"guble." This word troubled
the editor a great deal, but with
rare perspicacity he at length
resolved if into a "jabjlee." If
this had happened in one of the
southern states it would have
been held up by sbme of the
northern republican papers as
the current style of southern
literature.
W. If. Murphy will be pleas-

Gave lit* Crop Atvay.
l ast year I w?.» p^r&uadeu to leave my
healthy hr»me on the Nolar.d [and to take
tip my residence on the Brazos, Lilie many
otlieis, while there I contracted that fearful-
ly debilitating disease, chills and lever, 1
give away my crop and returned home a
wiser and poorer man. .My system was
completely shattered and all through the
long and dreary winter 1 battled with fever
and ague and yellow jaundice until my
friends gave up all hope of recovery. One
day I was at the grange store and was per-
suaded by the agent to try a bottle of Mor-
ley's T-X -S Ague Tonic; the cure was not
instancous nor miraculous, but day by day
1 could fee! my strength returning until I
was made a sound and healthy man. And
I cheerfully say to all who who are similar-
afflicted "go thou and do likewise."
(rraleffilly yotfrs,
WJI. GOO UK,
I can testify to the facts contained in the
above certificate. When I recommended
Money's T-X -S Ague Tonic to Mr. Goode
It was mVlast hope of ever seeing him alive
again and rejoice with his many friend* on
his complete restoration to health.

Ilanuted We.
Debt, poverty and suffering
haunted me for ysars, caused
by a sick fomily and large bills
for. doctoring, which did no
good. I was completely dis-
couraged, until one year ago,
by the advice of my pastor, I
procured Hop bitters and com-
menced their use, and in one
month we were all well and
none of U3 have been sick a
day since; and I want .to say to
all poor men, you can* keep
your families well a year with
Hop Bitters for less than one
doctor's visit will cost.—A
Workingman.
An Outrage.
Owing to the great popularity of Sim-
mons Liver Regulator, and its undoubted
Curative pow r, imilators throughout the
country are manufacturing worthless imi-
tatfons under the shadow of its good name,
so garbled as to mislead those who arc not
on their guard. Wc must earnestly beg
the public to aid us in our efforts to pro-
tect their health and help us in our task of
bringing these unprincipled impesters to
the bar of justice. Buy no Simmons I.iv-
cr Regulator unless encased in a white
rapper having a large red Z in the centre
and the signature of J. H. Zeilin & Co. on
th^ side. Before you buy, scrutinize the
package most carefully for the above signs
of genuineness. The remedy to detect
fraud is ill your own hau ls. D<> not al-
low some other substitute to be palmed oil
under a imil;\r sounding name.
