From Mondays Daily.

L rom MONDAY DdllE.
This morning about o'clock resi-
dents in the southern portion OF the
city who were awake We're alarmed by
the reflection of fire through their Win
dOws facing the south. The location
was not known at that time, but the
dull red glow OF the heavens gave indi-
cations that great destruction of prop
erty was under way but short dis
tance from us. This morning the IN
DEPENDENT set in motion an nyesti
CATION, and discovered that it Was the
little town of Tiosa, some six miles
south of Argos. The fire was also seen
at Bourbon and other surrounding
towns.
The fire originated in a sawdust pile
near the sawmill, and owing to the
heavy wind it soon set fire to the saw
mill and large lumber yard The in
habitants of the little burg of 200
population turned out and did every
thing in their power to check the
flames, but the devouring elements
were not stayed until the entire town,
with the exception OF "a few houses,
was in ashes.
The amount OF property destroyed,
as near as can be learned, was the saw
mill and lumber yard, with loss OF
about $4,000, large elevator and four
teen residences and business houses.
The loss sustained by others, outside
of the mill owners, have not yet been
learned.
LATER The following is the prop
erty destroyed: Lumber yard, sawmill,
depot, elevator. blacksmith and wagon
shop, meat market, barber shop, drug
store. three rooms and contents, L. Q.
O. +. and X. o. I. NJ. halls, aud four
dwellings. The loss is estimated at
about S60,0000; insurance, about 5000

From Georgia.

Mr.. j. G Cummins, one of our Mar
shall county farmers who went to La
Grange, Georgia, has written quite an
interesting letter back to his friends
regarding that country. He is very en-
thusiastic over his new home and is
cOntented to make it his future abiding
place. In his letter he gives an insight
into the mode of farming there which
differs radically with our mode in the
north. On some farms he states they
raise three different crops during the
season, mentioning one instance where
a crop of oats, corn and peas were raised
on the same piece of ground. He has
purchased land near Whitfield.

several weeks ago, when several eleva-

At the first turn, Larry k-.who was padiy

self and the pole, and Naljean shot 10 the
front at a rapid pace. His gait. however,
was too fast for him to hold. and at the
quarter Eldridge took the lead and cut
