It will not be many days until the corner stone of the new Court House will be placed in its proper position. Would it not be well for the Masonic and Odd Fellow fraternities, as it is the custom, to be on hand and make the occasion an interesting one? A proper opportunity presents itself for proper ceremonies. We hope to see the brethren out in full force, and would be more than glad to announce the fact that they will do so, because that would be proper too.

From present indications it seems that the streets of Bolivar will be almost completely blocked up with wood, boxes, rubbish, etc., if something is not done.

Last Friday night the kitchen of Col. R. H. WOOD, situated only a short distance from his large and costly residence, caught fire from some cause unknown and was consumed, together with its entire contents. As soon as the alarm was given a goodly number of persons quickly assembled at the burning structure and kept the fire from spreading to the residence and other buildings situated in the yard. Had the wind been blowing from the south the residence would certainly have been destroyed.
