Fire Thursday Night.

The loud changing Of the fire bell on
Thursday night OF last week about s
O'Clock caused the turning out Of hun
dreds Of citizens to witness the destruc-
ton OF the Mcdaniel house, as il was
known. The place is now the property
Of M. N. Bryan and was occupied by
Clark Martin and family.
Within few minutes after the first
ularm, hose company No. was at the
scene and laying line OF pipe soon had
a good stream playing on the flames.
Hose company No. 2 was late in getting
out its apparatus, ia fact this company
did not arrive until the building was
well nigh consumed.
The fire is thought to have origi-
mated In a defective fiue and was wen
under way before Il wac discovered and
the alarm was given.
The household effects were mostly
saved. No insurance whatever On the

Farmers Organization.
EDITOR NEw ENTERpRIsE:-.

EDlTOh NEW ENTERPRISE:-.
Please allow me space in your paper
to explain the much talked of Farmers
Organization. You will remember that
in this paper of Sept 2sth we published
a call to the farmers OF Madison county
to meet at the court house for the pur-
pose of organizing Farmers Protective
Club for the betterment OF tie farmers
generally. To those who do not UNDER
stand the nature Of the organization
| would say that there is no harm 10 it.
It's object is to get our fertilizers in
bulk and as cheap as IL can be gotten; to
get better seed and improved imple-
ments; to exchange ideas about farming,
and to better ourselves socially and f.
nancially by unity of purpose.
We have been accused of trying to get
up an organization that would hurt the
merchant, the doctor and the lawyer,
and one individual took it upon himself
to go around to some Of the merchants
and informed them that the Farmers
Protective Club would not let him join
because he had a shop out at his place
few miles from town. would say
that we have had no organization yet
and il we should then, and not until
then, should we be accused. We want
to organize In time to take part In the
proposed street fair. Now, let every
farmer, large or small, avail himself Of
the opportunity to make our town show
up. 1t will be great advertisement for
one of the best counties in the State and
will speak volumes for the hospitality Of
our genial and prosperous farmers.
Let's have harmony, and let every
community contribute something TO-
wards making our fair a success. A
town that lacks spirit will not prosper.
Just 80 with every community, no mat
ter what its natural advantages may be.
A little investigation ought to satisfy
any right thinking man that no good
will come out Of wrangling. It was not
intended in the course of human events
that all people should agree, but the IN
terest OF communities demand that
there should be an honest difference Of
opinion. All citizens should be public
spirited aud enterprising to the end that
greater prosperity will come to all. Con-
sequently try to make live, enterpris-
ing and progressive town Of Madison and
when we are saying good word for our
town we are accomplishing all the more
for ourselves. j. w. COBB,
