Some of the men at the mill discovered
bee tree upon Rocky hill on land belong
ing TO Mrs g. w. Chandler They used
fire in securing the honey, and left without
taking due care to extinguish ii. There
being plenty of very dry brush the fire
caught and spread last Monday over an
extent of two or three "a res, TO which it
was confined by the efforts of several men
who were called to the place by the smoke.

may be helped but probably the relief Is
too late for large crop. Gardens gener-
ally have not suffered much. The yield
of oats is larger than has been usual of late
years, but many farmers either do not al
tempt to grow oats to any amount or else
cut early for hay. The crop has not been
good in recent years as a general thing and
the cost Of threshing has led many to
think that oats can be bought cheaper
than raised,

for representative prominently mentioned

the north end of the common and seats
provided for the crowd of nearly 700 peo-
pie that later assembled to listen to the
speeches of the day. Ex-Governor Dill
