KR.<lb />Mobley and occupied by A. J. Mizell<lb />and F. K. Hodges<lb />grocery and bar, and Hodges kept a toy<lb />store with a restaurant in the rear. -<lb /><lb />The fire originated in the Mizell<lb /><lb />store and 1s supposed to be the work of<lb /><lb />an incendiary. The flames spread ra-<lb />pidly to the other store and both were<lb />entirely consumed. ~lhe building was<lb />situated in the heart of the business<lb />portion of the town and it seemed al"<lb />most impossible to save the remainder,<lb />but by heroic work ef citizens tne fire<lb />was gotten ender control and confined<lb />to the two buildings named.<lb /><lb />The losses are as follows :<lb /><lb />J. R. Mobley, two stores, $3,000 ;<lb />fully covered by insurance.<lb /><lb />A. J. Mizell, stock $2,000 ; insurance<lb />$1,000.<lb /><lb />F. K.

Lie<lb />had been sick several weeks with ty-<lb />pho d fever, and during the past two<lb />weeks his condition was critical. but<lb />for the last day or tvo it had been<lb />hoped there was some chahge for the<lb />better. Yet dispite this hope and the<lb />careful attention given him the dread<lb />disease could not be checked, and his<lb />spirit passed quietly away at the hour<lb />above stated.<lb /><lb />The death of Burney Wilson brings<lb />sadness to many hearts beside his family<lb />andrelatives, for his triends were legion.<lb />It also breaks the chain of a large and<lb />Lappy family circle. This is the first<lb />bereavement that has visited them<lb />in many years, and to his aged parents<lb />the loss is sore indeed, Four brothers<lb />and four sisters are also left to mourn<lb />his death.

L. Joyner, died at the College<lb />Hotel this mourning at 2 oTclock. The<lb />death of the child was quite unexpected,<lb />ste having been sick only two or three<lb />divs, and the suiden shock sends a se"<lb />vere pang tothe hearts of the fond<lb />parents.

Ohio. wool.<lb />This is not intended so much as<lb />an advertisement of the superior<lb />excellence of Ohio woo! as it is<lb /><lb />which will be candidate for<lb />protection against foreign free<lb />wool when Mr. McKinley vets in<lb />the saddle and calls his extra<lb />session of Congress to fix up a<lb />new tariff. But the fact that Mr.<lb />McKinley, will on ~that occasion<lb />wear asuit of American clothes,<lb />made out of American wool, and<lb />Ohio wool, too, suggests a way<lb />by which American wool, includ-<lb />ing Ohio wooi, micht get a mighty<lb />boost without depending in apy-<lb />way whatsoever on the tariff. Let<lb />Mr. McKinleyTs example be fol-<lb />lowed by all the gentiemen and<lb />gentlewomen in bis party and in<lb />other parties, who can dike them-<lb />selves Out in wovlen garments,<lb />and let them buy and wear United<lb />States cloth instead of sending<lb />abroad for it. This would give<lb />such a boom to the wool-growing<lb />business that the American sheep,<lb />aad the Ohio sheep in particular,<lb />would become too proud and<lb />saucy to carry favor with a Con-<lb />gressman or to ask for protection.<lb />Let the people who want to en-<lb />courage American wool patro-<lb />nize the American sheep.

Every device, was<lb />employed to thwart his soarings<lb />after theinfinite and his divings for<lb />the pa niger as we regarded<lb />them, and to gef an amount of work<lb />out of him that was equivalent to<lb />~the sum paid per diem for his serv-<lb />ices, and among them was that of<lb />having him receive the press report<lb />from New York... He did not like<lb />this, the work continuing, steadily<lb />from 6:30 p. m, until 2 a. m., and<lb />leaving him no time in which to<lb />pursue his studies.<lb />One night about 8 p. m. there<lb />came down.an inquiry as to where<lb />the press report was, and, on going<lb />to the desk where Edison was at<lb />work, Night Manager Leighton was<lb />horrified to find that there was<lb />nothing ready to go up stairs, for<lb />the reason that Edison had. copied<lb />between 1,500 and 2,000 words of<lb />stock and other market reports in a<lb />hand so small that he had only filled<lb />a third of a page.<lb /><lb />Leighton laughed in spite of him-<lb />self, and saying: ~~Heavens, Tom.<lb />DonTt do that again!TT hastened to<lb />cut the copy up into minute. frag-<lb />ments and have it prepared in a<lb />more acceptable manner.<lb /><lb />-While this was occurring Edison |<lb /><lb />went on receiving, and the frequent<lb />trips of the noisy dummy box, which<lb />communicated with the pressrooms<lb />on the next floor, pave evidence that<lb /><lb />writing with an ultimate view to<lb />putting the LordTs prayer on a 3<lb /><lb />But all at once there was a great<lb />noise, and it was evident that Press<lb />Agent Wailace, a most profane |<lb />man, was coming down the stairs,<lb />swearing and shouting as he came.<lb />Everybody grew excited except Edi-<lb />son, Who was perhaps dreaming of<lb />the possibilities in some of the<lb />realms of electrical. endeavor in<lb />which he has since won renown.<lb /><lb />But we did not have long to wait<lb />to know the cause of WallaceTs visit.<lb />Kicking open the door, he appeared<lb />to us, but he was speechless. The<lb />last note of his voice and the last<lb />remnant of a vocabulary of blas-<lb />phemy which was famous through.<lb />out the city was gone. Standing<lb />there with both hands full of small,<lb />white pages of paper, he could only<lb />beckon. Leighton approached him<lb />and tenderly took the sheets of pa-<lb />per from him, to find that Edison<lb />had made the radical change from<lb />his first style of copy to simply put-<lb />ting one word on each sheet, direct-<lb />ly in the center. He had furnished<lb />in this way several hundred pages<lb />in a very few minutes.<lb /><lb />He was relieved from duty on the<lb /><lb />press wire and put on another cir-<lb /><lb />cuit, while the much tried Leighton |<lb />devoted himself to bvinging Wallace<lb /><lb />back toa normal condition, admit-<lb /><lb />ting of the use of his voice and the<lb /><lb />flow of his usual output of profani-<lb /><lb />ty."Walter J.
