Selma, Dec. f.
 Fire was discovered in the building at the corner of Washington and Ala nama Streets about o'clock this morn ing,
 The building Is occupied by l. l. Ros- endorf & Go. as saloon and rcstau- rant. while an adjoining building Is oc- cupied as a wholesale department.
 While but little damage was done by the flames the wateN caused a consid- erable loss. which Is placed in the neighboFhood of $4,000. This is covered by insurance.
 It It had not been for the prompt and effective work of the fire depart ment 1t is very likely that the entire block would have been destroyed hyi the flames.
 An investigation this morning sievel- eped the fact that the fire had started in the Kitchen of the restaurant. The floor under the kitchen had caught from tine stovepipe of the range and was burning rapidly when the fire was discoyercd.
 The second floor of the building Is used for lodging rooms and the upper 1 floor was flooded with water which dropped through to the ground floor and caused dsconsiderab1e damage. 1 Tn the rear of the building is 4 negra saloon. This was also badly damaged by water, Of the two bars. the whole | sale deartment ana the restaurant. the latter suffered the worst and it will be
 several days before it can be placed in 1 condition.
 This morning the other places we
 put in condition and resumed business
 as if nothing had happened. That ths l fire did not prove more disastrous than 1t did was on account of the prompt lness with which the department an swered the alarm and the manner ir
 which they handled the fire safter they
 had arrived upon te scene.

Cotton Crop.
Among the many who were asked
about the crop conditions was Mr.. /.

says that with normal seasons his
farms would have produced about

atc5 one of the best farmes in the

his crop is certainly % per cent

1t is being gathered very slowly.
Farmers are paying 50 cents a hun :

the great advance in tho cost of pro

that there is no fortune in cotton
