Last Friday morning at half-past four o'clock, fire broke out in the oven room of the Union Bakery, in the rear of the store of W. L. Four & Co. on Main Street. The oven building, which was attached to the bakery, was destroyed with practically all of its contents, and considerable damage was done to the stocks of goods of David Bock's Department Store and L. Pennisi's grocery. The loss to the Union Bakery, not including the building, was about $200, with no insurance. The building, which belonged to D. H. Smith, was worth about $400, partly covered by insurance. A barrel of gasoline in the Pennisi store was rescued just before the fire reached it. Mr. A. Weille, the insurance adjuster, who was here Monday, says that he unhesitatingly pronounces the work done by the fire department the best he has ever seen in the state. The burned building was located in a right angle, attached to other buildings on two sides, and was a wooden structure. The fire did no further damage to the adjacent buildings than burn the doors and facings. This fire should impress upon the board of aldermen the importance of defining a fire limit. Unless an ordinance is passed forbidding the erection of wooden buildings in the business portion of town, we are going to have a fire that will really mean something. W. to the A L. to of be J. a.

Callender of Grand Gulf brought to Port Gibson a road machine which he had invented and made himself. The machine has a wooden frame seven feet in length. There are two large wheels in front and one small pivot wheel in the rear. It has a four foot blade which is operated by Two levers, one on each side of the driver. The machine is easily drawn by two mules. But the principal feature is the ease with which it can be operated. Only one man is required to do the work of both driver and operator. Mr. Callender is applying for a patent on his invention. Frightfully Burned. 93 s» 7« oo «9 ^ 43 33 SO 89 40 Chas. W.
