Il. II. +. c. Burned.

The East Mississippi Female Col
lege, the pride Of the citizens of Me-
ridian and of the people of East
Mississippi, was completely de-
stroyed by fire last week. The fire
was discovered at $3.50 o'clock at
night, and the four hundred stu
dents and teachers of the college es-
capped without a single casualty,
their escape Being due to the fact
that the fire originated in the col
lege laundry, about fifty yards to
the rear Of the college proper. The
origin of the fire is unknown. Po-
lice officers who were attracted to
the scene by the rapid fire of pis-
toll aroused the inmates of the col
lege.
A panic of the students was avert
ed only by the calmness of these of
iicers, who stopped the young ladies
at the front door and would not al
low them to leave the building until
they had discarded their night robes
for street attire.
When they had been assured that
the building was in no immediate
danger they did as requested, and
shortly thereafter the building was
cleared of all the inmates with mil
itary decorum, and not soul was
hurt.
Besides the college the handsome
two-story residence of Mrs. Z. J.
Ormond, on the northwest corner Of
the block, was burned.
The loss to the college is estima-
ted at about $25,000. This amount
is covered by policies aggregating
$9,750. The Ormond building was
valued at $4,000, and was insured
for $4,000, while the furnishings
were covered by policy of $4,000.
The individual loss of the president
and lessee of the college, Prof. J.
W. Beeson, is estimated at $4,000.
This loss is covered by $3.50.
Thirty pianos, including a $3.50
grand, were destroyed.
This is one of the oldest female
colleges in Mississippi, being the
property of the Methodist Church.
Arrangements have been made for
continuing the present session, the
churches of the city having been
contributed as class rooms. The
trustees state that arrangements will
be begun at once for the erection Of
a handsome modern college in the
place of the burned one, and that it
will be ready for occupancy by the
opening of the next term.

these diseases toward pneumonia, This
has been fully proven in many thousands
Of cases 10 which this remedy has been

be rolled npon with implicit confidence.
Pneumonia often results from a slight

Apple trees are not as hard on soils
as many have supposed, il we will
keep the soil in proper physical con-
dition. A bulletin issued by Cornell
university shows that IN a single year
a crop Of apples will remove for the
fruit from "a single acre, 13 pounds
OF nitrogen, one pound OF phosphoric
acid and 10 pounds Of potash. The
leaves on the trees which produce
this crop Of fruit will require 19
pounds Of nitrogen, 81 pounds Of
phoSphoric acid and 1874 pounds Of
potash. The tree growth will require
9.4 pounds Of nitrogen, 36. pounds Of
potash. This LOOKS to be severe
strain on the soil, yet believe that
all things considered, apples, are
about half 40 hard on soil as corn,
assuming that all of each crop is
permanently removed from the soil,
