The gorgeous illumination in the south

tributed to u hay stack fire in either the
lower end of Rock Island county or in
Muscatine county, was caused. il is now
learned. by an immense prairie FIRE which
started in Mercer county and spreading,
crossed the line into Rock Island county
The sky was covered with leaden colored
clouds which afforded a striking relief to
the bright illumination caused by the
miles OF flaming fields. A farmer near
Copperas creek started fire in his pas
ture and the stubble and dead grass burn
ing like finder. the flames soon got be-
yond control. Sweeping on fiercely as
they were famed by the gale the flames
destroyed everything IN their path.

trees. fences and even two barns were
consumed and q blackened route through

OUR LABORERS.

The laboring class in Edenton as a
whole are we'll paid and use their
means judicionsly, aud most Of them
are independent enough to own their
own homes. Thousands of dollars
are di sbursed annually here among
the laborers and mechanics and it
makes this class Of people a most
important factor in Edenton's pros
perity. Nearly all spend their money
here and taken as class are extreme
ly honest in the payment of their
debts. rhe man who tolls and
sweats in order to pay his just obi
cations, certainly deserves as much
credit as he who clips off his coupons
to accomplish the same end.
This variety of citizens are very
true to one another too; often suffer
ing prlvation to see their brethren's
wrongs redressed.
