J. O. Jones all? The removal of his stock to the yellow corner Kirkman &

by Jones Hancock & Co
Calamitous? Fire Florence was the scene of a terrible conflagration last
Monday night (Sept 25, 1866); the sight appalled the stoutest heart, and the
prospects of our flourishing town are retarded on their onward progress A
portion of the business? Part of town now smokes in the ashes of its ruins, and
the red glare of the smoldering embers tells the tale of a tan?tabe? destruction
Florence but rose from the debris of a raiding military ruin to plunge into
the gulph of a Providential calamity, and what was being repaired by the band of
a revigorated industry, now lies in the ruins of an incontrollable destiny. What
a pity! How sad the thought. That the band of the incendiary worked the
destruction, no honest man doubts, and the tale of the destruction is none the
less impressive. Fifty thousand dollars have been swept away, and honest
industry mourns the loss. The fire broke out in the stable of Mr. S. C.
Stafford, and communicating with his store destroyed the dry goods and grocery
store of Messrs Miller & Crow, the private residence of Capt. C.A. Tenge, and
the ? store of Messrs Smith and Burtwell, when luckily it was arrested, thanks
to the ? energy of the citizens, aided by the devotion of several freedmen,
whose names are remembered. Mrs. Seale, Messrs. Burnwall & Lyon, A.J. Rice and
Co, Patton, Willins & Co, Hester and Wood, and Mr. Joseph Milner, who occupied
contiguous buildings, suffered in the recovery of their goods, whose losses we
have estimated in the sum of $50,000. But for the fact of the wind being from
the South, the destruction of the entire block of which Mr. Stafford store
joined the Northern wing was inevitable; how far the raging element would have
traversed is left only to conjecture. As it is, the loss is very heavy for
Florence and awakes the sympathies of her many friends. Messrs Stafford, Tenge,
Dr. Brock and Mrs. Blair who owned the buildings destroyed, and who are the
heaviest losers, had no insurance on their property.

The lottery craze has struck Florence and although there is very little money
in town, the New Orleans Lottery divides each month. At the last drawing several
small prizes were won here and this of course makes dealers worse. We hope some
Florentine will win the capitol prize for there is no section of country this is
more in need of funds than this.

Constitutional Convention - The contest for and against a state constitutional
convention is on in dead earnest. The Advertiser opposes the move and the
Birmingham Age Herald and Mobile Reporter are among its leading advocates. The
opponents of the convention claim that amendments can be made to the
constitution through legislative action; but its advocates say that that manner
of making changes in the organic law have been tried and failed. In the meantime
Speaker Pettus has announced himself in favor of a convention and says he will
introduce a bill in the legislature after recess with that end in view. - The
