LANFORD's storehouse and goods, at Woodruff, were burned Monday night about one o'clock. The cause of the fire is unknown. Tuesday morning John DODD and several of his neighbors were much interested in a bear hunt. It is said that a genuine black bear is in the neighborhood and all hands had turned out to capture him. One of the mighty colored hunters claimed that he saw the bear, but only for the smallest fraction of a second. The reason that he did not get a better view of Bruin was because he the hunter had no eyes in his back. free post Lisa
