Fire.
Mr. George Pence's residence,
smoke -house and (spring house, sit-
-nat ed five miles west of nillsboro,
on the Danville pike, were entirely
consumed by fire this morning, Mon
day, May 15, about half past 10
o'clock. It is not known how the
fire originated, as there was no per
son at home, the family being away
planting corn at one ol liis son
There was nothing saved axcept the
contents of the smoke-house.
The first to see the fire was David
Wilkin's daughter, who gave the
alarm. The family of Mr. Pence are
destitute of clothes except what they
had on at the time. Loss $1500 to
2000, on which there is a small in
surance.
I went out to see the ruins and
learned the above particulars. It was
sad to see Mr. Pence and wife sittinj
in the barn, the only shelter to protect
them from a shower of rain that was
just falling. The aged couple have
passed their three-score years, and
always have been first to sympathizi
with the distressed. I think their
neighbors and also the citizens of
Hillsboro, should sympathize, not
only in feeling, but to assist them
these hard times in building a house

The farmers are in the midst of
corn planting, and are progressing
finely, notwithstanding the ground
is very rough and cloddy, and re
quires much labor to put it in good
order for planting. A much larger
acreage is being planted to corn in
this vicinity than last year.
Wheat and grass are looking well
but a good shower of rain now and
then, with- warm sunshinp, would
help them out amazingly. Oats,
also, need some warm rains to give
them a fine start.

The County Commissioners have

downfall, for our community is too
much in favor of temperance to tol
erate such a busiuess in our midst.
We had thought him too honorable
a gentlemen to have embarked in
such business, but alas! it is too true
Wo hope our citizens will be vigil

late, that there are other callings
more respectable and lucrative in our
community, than selling liquors.
