Fir®. *
Sunday evening about 8 o'clock
the residence of John P. Loudon,
at the the comer of Broadway
and Morris streets, caught fire and
soon was past saving. The fire-
men turned out ou good time, but
there was no chance to save the
house when they reached the
spot.
A good part of the furnitnre
wan carried out, but all of it was
damaged.
The house was insured with
•Stone & Blanton in the Liverpool,
London and Globe for *1445, and
the furniture iu the s une company
for $500.
Mr. London's loss was probably
i'JOOO. The family had just left
home, aud no one knows how it
caught.

Hydrophobia.
Mrs. Dr. Stiver, of Pottsboro,
came np Sunday to have the mad-
stono applied. She was bitten
Saturday by a calf which she
feared was mad. The calf died,
and to make things sure she came
and tested W. L. Fletcher's mad-
stone. We learn that it adhered
several times to the wound. If
this is the case we feel sure that
the lady is in no danger,for we have
never known that stone to fail
when it a fair chance. Mrs. Sti-
ver went home Monday morning
much relieved in mind at the re-
sult. We hope nothing serious
will follow.

It is said that Fred Honglass
was greeted when he reached the
capital of Hayti with a brass
band playing "There's a New
'Coon iu Towu." The Gazette
says this caused him to "paok up
his white wife and come home."
The president was very shrewd
in having l'assett nominated for
governor of New York. If elect-
ed he cannot be a candidate for
president, as he will not be old
enough next year. Secretary Fos-
ter was at the bottom of the busi-
ness.
Notice.
The ladies who are interested in
the success of the fair, both iu the
city and county, are requested to
meet the secretary at the exposi-
tion building Wednesday evening
at 4 o'clock for the purpose of
selecting a committee and arrang-
ing for decorating the building
and selecting places for different
exhibits and arraugment of spaces.
Prof. E. F. Conicgys and J. M.
Potter of the educational commit-
tee are requested to be present
also. It is importaut that all
superintendents of the different
classes slionld be present. Our
time is short and I hope all that
can will be on hand.

Secretary of Fair.

^MftThe management have every-
thing ready and we can have one
of the grandest in the state if our
people will take an interest in it.
We believe they are now enthu-
siastic on the question, and if
they will only keep it up there
will be no doubt of its success.
Let each one who has anything
to exhibit bring it out and swell
the grand aggregate. Stir around
and show what can be done here.
We do not know what we have or
what we can do.
Let us "provoke each other" to
do our best. Gainesville has been
ou a stand still for some time.
Now she has begun to move for-
ward. Let us all aid in every way-
possible.
GIVE US LIGHT.
Today the city council will take
action on the light question, and
their decision will determine
whether our magnificent electric
light plant, costing about $.10,000,
will be put to running or will be
removed to some more enterpris-
ing town. This is a square issue
and must be met by our citizens
and city officials* Let our busi-
ness men talTe enough of the
lights so that when tho city sup-
plements it with what she takes
the works will he enabled to run.
We know that there will be a cry
raised in the city courfcil that
there is no lyouPy V) pay for

Memphis, Tenn., Sept. 11.—A
case of coolest calculation was the
remarkable spectacle of a murder-
er sitting on a coroner's jury hold-
ing an inquest over the body of
his victim, witnessed at Fort
Pickering. Levi Hill, a burly ne-
gro, beat his mistress to death
and in the hope of hiding his
crime informed the coroner that
he had found the womau dead.
Hill was impaneled on the jury,
but the investigation had not pro-
ceeded very far before the real
murderer was discovered and Hill
was sent to jail without bail.

It is almost exclusively a farm-
ing country, but is well situated

equally divided, black waxey, san-
dy and red sandy. About one-
half the county is timber and the
balance prairie with streams run-
ning through it, on which can be
found excellent timber and water.
Eed River borders the county
for sixty miles.
Elm fork of the Trinity, Clear
creek and other streams flow
through it.
The county has an area of 933
square miles, equal to 597,120
acres.
It had in 1890 a population of
24,602.
The assessed value of property
in 1890 was $7,160,659.
Improved lands sell from $10 to
$40 an acre.
Unimproved lands from $5 to
$15 per acre.
In 1889 the number oC marriages
was 373 and the number of di-
vorces 28.
