COTTON BEING DAMAGED,
Rust Has Damaged Crop About

Reports from several sections
OF the hill parishes are TO the
effect that rust is playing havoc
with the cotton crop. the yield
already damaged at least % per
cent. In nearly every section in
Winn parish the crop has been
damaged. and reports from Jack
son, Bienville and Grant say that
the crop there is being damaged.
The crop has been opening
rapidly during the dry weather
and the rust has stopped the
growth, which will cut off a
considerable portion Of the crop.
1t is the opinion of many farmers
that the s'top crop will amount
to very little this year on account
of rust and the dry weather
which has prevailed up until the
past week. 1t is thought that
what crops made wi be gathered
by the first of November.

O'Clock Mack Branch and Arthur

made a dash for the open and got

which were left III the room.
They made breal, back through

into the room and securing their

through the fire and was burncd
about the face, but Mr.. Crawford
preferred to jump ont at VIM
dow onto an awning over the post
office front and from there to the
ground.
By this time people had begun
to arrive and went to work to
save nearby buildings and what
things could be carried from the
burning building. 4 few Of the
fixtures in the drug store were
carried out before the-frc got
too hot, but it was too late to save
any considerable amount of goods.
An effort was made to save some
thing from the postoaice, which
was located in the rear of the
same building, but cnly II few
pouches aud some of the mail
matter was saved, as the fire soon
burned through the ceiling and
dropped into the lower story of
the building. Nearly everything
in the drugstore was lost, also in
she postofiice, and the fixtares,
instruments, c, IT.. in the dental
parlors of Drs. Shaw 4 Long,
which were located on the upper
floor, were lost, as wei as the
fixtures OF Dr.. e. s. Nixon, who
had just arranged dental parlors
on the second fl oor of the build
ing.
The store building Of j. G.
Teagle stood next and adjoining
the drug store. Efforts were
directed to removing the stock
and fixtures from the building,
as there was no hope OF saving
it from the flames. Some of the
fixtures and considerable por-
ton of the dry goods stock We're
carried out to a place of safety,
but most of the grocery stock,
together with the building and
fixtures, was lost.
All the while the d.ug store

done towards saving the other

All goods were carried from The

only a small photograph gallery

water which was used in wetting
the Fisher building and numbers
of blankets were used in covering
the root after having been soaked
with water. The photograph
gallery of l.. \. DeBray, which
stood next to the 'reagle building,
was all that saved the Fisher
