gone off and armed themselves preparatory
to a second meeting. Rutus
Ford, who had two pistol*, fired at
John Casoc, who had one, but b-fore
another shot could be fired bv either

of tbe law had arrested the men.

BAKERY BURXED.
j On Sunday night, between twi-Ive
and one o'clock, Mr. G. A. White's
bo.kery wa9 discovered to be on fire.
The bakery was a double frame house j
jast back ot Mr. White's dwelling, and |
was very near sevrai frame buildings,
and there was grea- dujger of the fire
spreading. The lire companies responded
verv promptly to the alarm
and splendid work. The fire was extinguished
before the fames could
spread and only one-half of ihe hou3e
was burned. No one was in the bakery
at lhe time, but it is supposed that the
fire originated from the explosion of
1 a kerosene stove which had been
lighted at eight o'clock. Abou: thirteen
barrels of Hour were lost. Those
living near the fire were packed and
ready to move our, as it was not
thought possible to prevent the fire
from sprc dirg. The firemen deserve
great creri t tor their splendid work.

atKidgewa-, was arrested on Friday
by Deputy U. S. Marshal Thornton on
the charge of embezzlement. Wil- '
liams is charged with appropriating
$88 to his own use. For some time '
past the people of Ridgeway have '
been suspecting Williams of dishonesty
and the postoffice inspector has paid
several visits to the office lately for I
the purpose of finding out the truth. 1
Williams was taken before Commissioner
Jennings in Columbia and gave
a $500 bond and was released. The
case will come up before the United
Slates Supreme Court in April. Williams

McKinley became president, and is a
Republican. He was postmaster at
Ridgeway several years ago and gave
perfect satisfaction then, bnt since he
was appointed the last time has not ,
attended strictly to tbe office and has
i j i
j given the Ridgewav people much
j cause for complaint. He is a lawyer
by profession.

Mr. Editor: I desire towiite a short
liece explaining my connection with
he Upper Longtown school. I taught
he above mentioned school from the
welfth of Septembar until Christmas
Seing apprised ef opposition on the
tart of some of the patrons, I went to
ine of the trustees and conferred
rith him; he suggested the advisability
of calling a meeting of the
matrons in order to ascertain their
entimeots in regard to the opposition.
?he patrons met and eleven of then
oted to retain me as teacher, fi?e of
hem cast dissenting votes. During
be Christmas holiday p, I reciived a
elter from the trustees in wlich they
tated that tbey had concluded to suspend
my school until they could get
he patrons harmonized. Thinking
lerbaps my friends were not aware of
he trustees decision to suspend the
chool, I felt that it was my duty to
ake the train, go back and confer
ritb my supporters, and inform them
if the action of the trustees. I talked
rith my friends and told them tbp.t I
vab enough Democratic in sentiment
,nd principle to believe that ibe ma)rity
should rule in all question*
