Fire in the Woods
On Friday last, a destructive fire took place in the woods in Effingham county, about 23 miles from this place,
which destroyed all the negro house, barn, and dwelling house on the plantation of Mr. J. Taylor. The fences and
some of the out buildings of Mr. J. Bryan, Mr. R. Bowman, a& Mr. E. Parish, shared the like fate. The fire
was still raging at the time our informant left the scene of calamity. The people were turning out en masse to
arrest its progress if possible.
