OUR CORN PREMIUMS. For the largest and best six
ears of corn, brought to this office' before Christmas, we will
present one year's subscription
to the Courier. For tho second
largest and best six ears of corn, we will present six month's sub
scription to the Courier. The corn will be tied up in packages,
numbered, and laid away until
Saturday, Dec. 29th, 1883, when
a Committee of disinterested persons will make the awards, and
they will not know to whom the
corn belongs until after their de
cision is made. The corn will
not be exhibited until on and after Saturday, Dec. 29th. The corn is to become 'tho property ot the Courier, but we do not expect to make anything out of the transaction ; it is simply to encourage competition among the farmers, and to make them talk about the Courier.

W. N.

"It is easier for a came 1 to go through the eye of a needle " than to publish a newspaper that will not give offense to some one, who, in reading, imagine that every reflection upon an impure actum, a dishonest purpose, or a crooked life, is a personal fling at them.

last Tuesday night. The tire broke out in a stable on the premises of Mr. Pering, which is the next lot North of the burnt residence. The wind was blowing briskly in a Southeastern direction, and for a time it was thought that the fire would prove a very disastrous one. Besides the destruction of some fencing and sheds the flames were kept confined to the residence destroyed. It was by hard work, however, that the Baptist church and buildings East of it were saved. It was some time before the steamer could be got in working order as there was no water in the boiler. With the assistance of the hand engine, and men stationed on the roofs of the adjacent buildings, the flames were kept from spreading. The burnt building was occupied by W. W. Durand who had made arrangements for its purchase of Mat Beatley, but the papers had not been drawn up. Mr. Durand had moved in the house the day previous. The most of his furniture was carried out, but in a badly damaged condition. The building was insured for 1,000. It is not known how the fire originated in the stable, and, as usual when the origin of a fire is unknown, it is set down a the work of an incendiary. A very pleasant event' was the party given last Tuesday ntht hy iMra. Helen Orchard at her spacious and handsome residence. The company was composed oc some ot our very best citizens and they were rorcllv entertained by the fair hosless. The- fire in the neighborhood put a sudden termination to the discussion of the good things, but the event was a stipeess nevertheless. We give beiow the names of the gentlemen and ladies invited: Miss Moilie Rogers, J. G. McPheeters and wile, J, F. Mauley and wile. Prof. Atvrater and wile.
