evening. Fortunately, the wind
blew the flames from the house, and
with the faithful assistance of about
thirty men, the fire was confined to

tributed to the spontaneous eombus-
ton of lot of hay which had been
slowed in the crib loft before being
thoroughly cured. About 275 bar
rels of corn, partially roasted, was
saved, while about 600 barrels and a
large lot of pea vine hay was des-
troyed. Mr.. J. NJ. Hainkl, 8 New

The st. Charles college has again

There seems to be little sympathy

Our roads are extremely dusty,
and a heavy shower would be most
welcome to residents of town, but
the farmer is making hay while the
sun shines, and is busy gathering in
his cotton. However, when it is only
bringing Az cents per pound, there
is little encouragement for the poor
planter.
Mr.. f. v. Barry, one of our en-
terprising merchants, has been i'll for
