Surveyors are now enga ged in lay

The report current yesterday con
cerning the burning of cotton about
2 miles from the city, is verified to
day. The burning occurred on Mr.
Wilder's place. There were about
180 bales altogether; of that 85 be
longed to Mr. Wilder and the remain
der to Mr. W. D. Buffalo. About 90
bales of Mr. Buffalo's cotton were
destroyed, but only seven bales of Mr.
Wilders. It is thought that the fire
originated from sparks from a loco
motive as the railroad is only a few
hundred yards distant. Mr. Buffalo's
loss is about $3,500, with no insurance.

New Station House.
There is a growing demand for a
new station house more convenient
and better arranged in all respects
than the one now in use under the
market, and we hope the matter will
receive the most earnest and speedy
consideration of the new Board of
Aldermen. It is useless to deny that
the present quarters for offenders is a
disgrace to the city, and, it is need
less to add most unjust to those so
unfortunate as to become denizens of
the "lock up."
Let the matter of an auditorium be
pressed so that the market house
building can be remodeled for other
purposes and a new static n house pre
pared. It is really a necessity.
