Tuesday morning about 10 o'elock
smoke and flames were seen issuing from
Rev. T. H. Grant's house, at Rimroelc,
says a correspondent of the Piineville
Review. Neighbor hastened to the
place, but before they arrived the house
was almost entirely burned, w ith almost
all the contents. Rev. Grant was away,
.urs. urant ana tlie younger children
only being at home. Mrs. Grant was
sewing and heard a slight noise up
stairs, but thinking it was a cat paid no
attention until the roaring of the flames
warned her that the house was on fire.
Catching up the baby, who was asleep
in the cradle, she carried it and the
other children to a place of safety, and,
returning, managed to get out the sew
ing machine, a little bedding and 6ome
meat, men sue turned her attention

ceeaed in saving a few volumes when
the flames and heat drove her from the
house. The library, valaed at 1500, was
burned, together with their clothing and
furniture. Mrs. Grant's hands were
severely burned and her hair singed.
There was no insurance on the house or
contents. The neighbors are taking
things to the stricken family and they
will camp out until another house can
be built.
