Fire at Reeves' Station
Destruction of Government Stores
   We regret to lean that the Government store at Reeves' Station, on the South Carolina Railroad, just below Branchville, was destroyed by fire about 11 o'clock Sunday morning, together with fifty thousand rations of bacon and a large quantity of flour and sugar. There were about three hundred hogs in the building. The fire originated, we learn, from some saw dust in a box which was being used in smoking bacon.
