Fire destroyed the barn. tobacco
shed and out buildings on the farm of
T. L. Erickson, two miles east of Rock
dale, last Thursday, involving a serious
loss to the owner. Seven acres of nearly
cured tobacco was in the shed that was
burned and 800 bushels of oats and most
of the farming tools in the barn. The
cause of the fire is a mystery. Mr..
Erickson was away from home at the
time and when the fire was discovered
flames were breaking out of the roof of
the barn. A team of horses were about
all that was saved from the barn. Mr..
Erickson estimates his loss above $4,000
and he had no insurance whatever on
the property, making his misfortune still
greater one to bear.
