FATAL ACCIDENT. Lillie, daughter of our esteemed friend, A.H. Harris, Esq., of Columbia, 
while out at play, near an old burning log had her clothes to catch on fire last Tuesday 
week and was so severely burned that death ensued the next day and relieved the little 
sufferer of her agonizing tortures. The remains were interred in the Monroe Cemetery, the 
funeral being attended by a number of friends of the family, who sympathize with the 
bereaved parents in their sad affliction.
