GETTIXO married is easy enough. Anybody can do that; but staying married is another thing. Family discord often begins with poor cookery, producing digestion and worse tempers. No cook can do gooil work with a poor stove, and therefore, to insure domestic, harmony, young peoplo about to go to housekeeping should buy either the Gp.hat Whsteii.v or Oakland Stovhs. The furniture of home has also much to do with domestic happiness.

C. W. Vorhies, was burned to the ground about 11 o'clock Wednesday night. The origin of the lire is attributed to a defective Hue iu an upstairs room. The Presbyterian Church bell Bounded a general alarm immediately after the discovery of tho Haines and in nn incredibly short time there were hundreds of willing workers on hand to render assistance.

Nearly all the furniture and contents of the burning building were removed but the salvage was as a matter of course badly damaged- Heroic efforts were required to prevent the fire from spreading to adjacent properly. The residence of Mr. IL Kline was in imminent danger lor nearly an hour, great showers of fiery sparks literally raining upon the roof all the time. O. C.

Mcl'lierson removed all tho horses and vehicles from his livery stable, which at one time seemed doomud, but by tearing away fences, porches and outbuildings the fire was held in control. Hnd there been the slightest breeze from the east the city of Hossville would undoubtedly have been devastated, as there were no available facilities for checking a big lire. It was a particularly unfortunate event for Mr. Verities, who has had possession ot the hotel property only since January 15 and was just getting the business on a good basis. His insurance, we learn, amounts to only 1300, which will but partially Cover his loss.
