          GENERAL NEWS. 

  The town of Courtland, the county seat of Southampton, 
was visited by a terrible conflagration Monday night 
that destroyed a number of buildings in the business 
portion of town, and also the Atlantic and Danville 
Railroad depot.  The fire started in a barroom, and 
before it could be checked the loss amounted to 
$27,000, on which there was an insurance of $9,000.
