KING will preach a funeral discourse, on Monday next, at the house of Mr. Joseph JENKINS. -------------------- from The Village Messenger, Fayetteville, Tennessee, Vol. II, No. 38, November 24, 1824: Fire.-On Wednesday night last, about 12 o'clock, the citizens of this place were alarmed by the cry of "fire," which proved to be in a small building the property of R. DICKSON, Esq. and occupied by J. H. WALLACE as a shoemaker's shop. The fire had made such progress before it was discovered as to preclude the possibility of saving the building, and a man who slept in the shop had barely time to make his escape, before the roof fell in and not an article of property was saved.-The fire next communicated to Mr. TIMMINS' Hatter shop, which was also consumed, but most of its contents were saved. Mr. TIMMINS' dwelling house on the north, and Mr. DICKSON's store-house on the south, were much exposed and indeed several times on fire but were saved by the exertions of the citizens. Mr. WALLACE's loss is severe-his entire stock of leather, a considerable stock of shoes, all his tools, together with his books and accounts were entirely consumed. Mr. TIMMINS' loss, independent of the interruption of his business, is not great. It is almost incredible that previous to this accident not the least provision had been made to guard against fire in this town-not a bucket, ladder, or hook had been provided, and to this hour, after the property of two of our most industrious citizens has been destroyed, and the whole town in imminent danger, nothing is done save the wind work of preparation. The fire of Wednesday night is now extinguished, and our citizens are again settling down into that state of apathy and indifference, from which, we fear, nothing but another destructive conflagration will awaken them. -------------------- Jos. H. Wallace, BOOT & SHOE MAKER, Has re-commenced business in the brick building belonging to C.
