H. Mathews' grocery store on Main street about 1 o'clock this morning, and before it was extinguished stock and building were practically destroyed.

Before anyone Jed time to respond to the alar, however, the blaze had filled tie whole interior of the lower story.

CELEBRATION WAS PLEASANT AFFAIR Ukiab's barbecue and picnic on the fourth was a pleasant affair that was enjoyed by many of our and visitors from adjoining towns. Prof. Babcock's oration was a superb effort and showed that be will rank with the best speakers of the county. The barbecue teature was, as usual, the principal feature of the day, and the excellent manner in which the meat was cooked and served left little to be desired. The afternoon was devoted to games, and everything passed off barmoniously.

The ball at Marks' opera house in the evening was well attended and was highly enjoyed. Although nothing pretentious was attempted in the way of celebrating, it is altogether likely that the day brought as much enjoyment as a much more elaborate affair.
