Fire at W. M. Houts'
Lumber Camp.
Special to tbe News.
Tuesday morning about 3 o'clock
the neighborhood of Houts' saw mill
in Coppinger Cove was thrown into
confusion by the alarm of fire and on
looking saw the mill in a light flame,
and to such on extent that it looked
like any attempt to subdue the fire
would be in vain. However every
body hastened to the scene, and by
hard work got it under control. The
fire caught in the opposite end of the
shed from the machinery, and conse
quently rio damage was done, but if
the fire had started at the other end
of the mill it would have burned ov
er all tbe machinery. The tire was
discovered by Wash Coppinger, who
is an early riser, and if ho had been
ten minutes late everything would
have been destroyed. Mr. Houts
had just got in shape from the burn
out he un Jerwent last winter, and it
is quite fortunate it is no worse.

OIXON'S COVE.
Special to the News.
One day last week as we were going
from Soquachee to Wbitwell we hap
pened to meet our old friend, Dan Pit
man. Well, Uncle Dan Is still wearing
that pleasant old good natured smile,
which he always has when be meets
any of bis old friends.
One time I saw Uncle Dan about to
enter a show and before be reached the
doorkeeper he turned around and asked
if there were any littlo orphan boys
there that bad no money to get in the
show, and on being told there was, he
drew out bis pocket book and paid all of
their ways into the show, remarking to
them that tbey must be good boys, that
he had geen a boy once himself and
would have liked to have met such a
friend to boys as he was. We have
lived a neighbor to Uncle Dan and
found him to be a good neigbbor, very
kind to the sick and always ready to
help any one that was in distress.
While In Wbitwell we met our es
teemed old friend, George W. Lewis,
well-known to tbe readers of the News,
having been tbe representative of the
Whitwell department ever since tho
News was in Its infancy.
Why people should take tbe News.
First. Because we bear from our
friends all over tbe county without
having to write so many private letters.
Second. Because it is not a political
paper. 1 here lore no one can take of
fense at its politics.
Third. Because the subscription
price being low it is in the reach of ev
erybody. Just think about this: 52 cop
ies for 50 conts. Now let us count un.
Paper is one-third higher than It was
four years ago, and freights aro higher.
In fact everything is higher in the way
of newspaper material tban it was four
years ago. By the time the editor pays
for bis material, sets bushels of type,
sweats like a nigger printing both sides,
and prepares the paper (or mailing, his
profits are necessarily very small. In
addition to this he pays Uncle Sam for
postage to convey the paper to you.
Come now, boys, hustle round and
send In your subscription at once. You
sue every little helps. Don't depond on
borrowing the News any longer.
The man who started bis boy in great
haste to borrow the News saw the boy
come in contact with and upsot a bee
hive worth $3. The father hearing the
boy scream ran to his assistance, and in
his haste knocked down three panels
of fence that would cost $1.50 to get re
placed. Tho father forgetting himself
pat a lighted pipe in bis pocket and
burned the corner off a $fi coat above
tbe pocket. A $20 cow took advantage
of the gap in the fence, and killed her
self eating green corn. The mother
went to tbe rescue, knocking over a
churn of cream as she went worth ?5c.
Tbe baby started to follow bis ma,
crawling through tbe cream and spoil
ed a Mo carpet The calves gotout and
chewed the tails and sleeves off of four
shirts that were on the clothes line.
The dogs broke up three setting hens.
Tbe oldest girl took advantage of the
opportunity to run off with tbe blred
man. All this could have been avoid
ed by a 50c subscription.
Yours truly, Bill Dooley.
