-OTR Fire Boys had a scare on
to Thursday afternoon, and the- alarm
va bell was rang loud and long. It
was occasioned by the burning of a
lot of brush on the public road go
is g out of Town, near the jail,
which made a large blaze and caused
the said excitement. Before things
ac- were placed right, and every one
ing satisfied, the two companies with
the engine and truck, had proceeded a
good distance on the way.
ep- -IR. Elliott, the Kentucky
)e- gentleman who. has lately come in

business, was yesterday operating

work of a number of men, besides
working with uniformity. and ease.

11 --DURING the present Winter Si
k season, which is fastly drawing to
3- a close, our Town has had less r
V" amusements in the way of halls,
. parties and sociables than for any
previous year-and why? no one
can answer. A lack of sociability
is assigned, and the only way to
s get out of this dullness is for all to
get together and have some under- be
standing. We were once a happy So
people, fond of the ball-room and de'
I its attractions, and for us now to to
entirely give up this amusement cet
seems hard to believe. Things da
which attracted our attention then sar
are now lost sight of, and all is
dull and monotonous.
-.Ths. J. M. Tally, a lady liv
ing in Pineville, and who but very
recently moved from the Atchafa
laya river, died on Thursday of
heart disease. She had gotten up po.
out )f bed and proceeded to the a
fire-plac, where she had some
victuals warming, and came very tha
near falling into the fire. With ec
the exception of her little daughter, wlm
SMrs. Tallyv was alone at the time all
of her unlooked for demise, her Fo
husband, an one ar.ned man, being s
absent at work. , The ladies of Co.
Pineville did well their part to
wards this poor lady, and are de
serving of the highest praise.
