GREAT LOSS BY FIRE.
Fully One-zA1rd Of the Cranberry
Marshes in Wood County Burned.

The excessive warm and dry weather
of the past two weeks left the cranberry
marshes and surrounding islands so dry,
that when fire started the past week it
was utterly impossible to stay the flames.
The high winds of Friday, Saturday and
Sunday caused the fire to spread until
about one-third of the marshes near
Bears station was consumed entailings a
loss of about S150000.
Among those who suffered by the fire
we can mention Messrs. I. E. Nash, j.
E. Ingraham, W. t. Jones, Garrison and
Potter, Lon. Scribner, John Arpin, D.
R. Burr, DAILY, Sampson and Gordon,
Fred Hoffman, John Schuable & Co.,
and others whose names We failed to
obtain.
While the fires have been raging on
the cranberry marshes, they have also
been raging on the hay marshes and in
the timber, causing loss to the farmers
in the way of hay and wood that they
had already prepared for winters use.
No accurate estimate Of the loss can be
arrived at.

regular graduated system from the very

order to make it more pleasant for the
pupils I have each one play something
even if nothing more than some five
finger exercises. No pupil knows what
they will play until the meeting. By so
doing every pupil has to stand on his OF
her own merits. [ have no faith in
| these monthly "recitals' as they are
usually given. I have not space here to
give my reasons, but will simply say, I
know they only prove waste of time
and money to the pupil and parent. A
great deal of time is spent in learning
one or two show pieces, and even when
learned are of no practical value to the
pupil as there is a total want of pro-
gression. This perverts the taste of the
pupils and cannot fail to draw their
MINDS more and more away from that
kind of practice which is absolutely
necessary, and without which no one
can make even moderate progress. I
believe one or two public recitals year
gotten up with care cannot fail of being
very beneficial to the pupil. H.H.B.

Success.

Those who usually have the burden
of a county fair upon themselves and
make a success of it, are entitled to
credit. The duties are numerous and
hard to overcome. A few always have
the many details to look after. The
fair association were fortunate in hav-
ing Judge Geo. L. Williams as president,
who has the reputation of pushing to
success anything he undertakes. He
had able assistants and after several
weeks of hard labor their untiring eff
forts were crowned with success.
This years county fair, is styled by
those who have had any connection
with the association since its organiza-
ton, one of the best ever had. The
entries exceeded any previous year.
The buildings were better and more OF
them. Additional stalls were built and
even then there was not sufficient room.
The races were interesting and hotly
contested. Horses were driven on thei1
merits and the best horses won, some
thing that's unusual now in horse racing.
The following races took place during
the fair:
