very different light, as follows:

Letter from Kenton.

The large hay barrack on the farm
belonging to J. w. Graham. tenanted
by Able Numbers, was completely des-
trOyed by fire between 10 and II o'clock
last Friday morning. The buildings
on this place were burned in the fall of
1884, and when the new ones were
erected they were placed some distance
apart and pump put in the center be-
tween them. When the fire was dis
covered the farm hands were at work
close by, and with the assistance of the
neighbors held the fire in check to the
building where it originated and did
almost as effective work as a hose com
pany. The building contained about
tons of hay; Il calf persisted i'm the
flames. The loss will reach $500 and
Is partly insured in the Continental
Company.
There is talk of organizing a hose
company. At present the town has no
means OF protection against fire. MANY
small town has been almost sWent
away before the progress Of the flames
could be checked and now is the ample
time to consider this important matter
before such occurs. The Young men
are willing and will probably organize
IN the near future if they can obtain
assistance.
