WHAT THE COUNTRY PAYERS bti.

An exchange comoats with considerable
yigor the Argument that the city papers are
cheaper and better than the ydtAtfy pasers
because they give more columns Of readi6gy
for the money. Do tbe city papers il aslss,r
ever give yon home news? Never. Do
they say anything 10 regard 10 yodr own
county? Nothing. Do they conininnot:esaa'
Of your schools. churches. imprcyemeiiis~
and hundreds Of other local matters cf, III
terest. which your papers publishes without
pay? Not 40 item Do they say word
calculated to draw attention TO your conn
ty. Not o word. And yet thereare men niasn
who take snch contracted views Of this mat
ter that unless they are getting as many
square inches Of reading matter in their
own paper as they do in 4 city paper. they
think they are not getting the wortl, IL
their money. IL reminds us Of the person
who took the largest pair OF boots in the
box. simply because they cost the same sa
the pair much smaller that fitted him.

FIRE ~ THE THIRD DISTRICT.
About Fifteen Houses DESTROYED.

About quarter past 8 O'Clock last
night q fire broke out in house at the
corner Of Annette and Morales streets,
owned and occupied by Leopold Thomp-
son. This building was entirely de
stroyed. The flames then extended to
the adjoining house, occupied as q resi-
dence by Hypolite r. Lewis, and was
burnt to the ground The wind blow
ing from the northwest, and owing to
the lack Of water, the Fire Department
was unable to do anything, and half Of
the square bound by Annette, Morales
and Urquhart streets, was destroyed
almost instantly, and owing to the
rapid destruction of the houses it was
impossible TO give full and correct re-
port. The wind at the time was blow
ing hurricane, and with lack Of
water, the firemen were helpless, and
had to stand by and see the property
fall fuel to the flames.
