K. R. Bell's House Burned. We regret' to learn that Mr. R R Bell's house was destroyed on last Saturday nignt. Mr Bell was unwell and did not reetweU. About 11 o'clock he heard the fire in the cook room. Arising and opening the door he discovered the flames were beyond control. He rushed back and awoke his wife and children and got them out. He iv. - . a. aj , . ouv.vwv.n WM-T.f, &uu.Wv, beds And a few ouilts-all nis other household goods were de stroyed. Whether the fire was accidental or the work ot an incendiarv is not known. There is an opinion that some fiend did the worir. Tne loss is near $400. The Wods Fnll. The Republicans are devel oping plenty of office seeking timber. There are 10 or 12 wantincr to be Register o f c T Deeds. Anions: them are the present incumbent, D. R. Ed wards, W. G. Meadows, Thoa. Crysel, E. M. Blackburn, Le ander Jennings, C. , U. Davis, Linville Bumgarner, L. E. Da: vis. and we don't . know how j many more. As to. the Legislative ticket, Gen. John Q. A. Bryan will doubtless be one of the candi dates, and we hear the men tion of Chas. Somers and L. S. Benbow for the other. The' important office of Coro ner is wanted by Wash Nich ols, and young Elledge, of Mulberry, and may be others. ; The would-be-laborers are plenty but the fields and ar vests are few and far betweeri. Those who gamble on politics at this time are taking big chances. Those who are greet ed with hallelujahs to-day may be met with "crucify him" to morrow.

A petition is being circulated the Governor to release from the penitentiary Sher man Greer, who was convicted in this county about fiye years ago for killing his father and was sent to the penitentiary for ten years. This brings to mind an incident in the case. Judge Armfield presided. Af ter the case was concluded it was recalled for the purpose of ffettincr the sentence reduced. Judge Armfield remarked: "No man is ever justifiable i u takiner the life of his father- If there could possibly be a case justifiable, it would be when a Southern father named his bov Sherman, about the time Sher man made his march to the sea through southern flood and wrecks of southern homes and happiness.; But even that is not sufficient provocation to justify the awful crime." The sentence was not reduced. F Over Fifty Xe MRS. Win slow 9 SooTHisa Sybvp has been us ed for over fifty yean by millioas of mothers for their children while teething wi th perfect success.
