The Oak Bluff sugar house, a
few miles above Franklin, was to-
tally destroyed by fire last We'd
nesday morning. The place was
owned and operated by the Oak
Bluff Planting and Manufacturing
Company, and although a small
refinery, it was one of the best on
the Teche, having undergone a
thorough repairing and installed
with new modern sugar-making
machinery since its purchase q
short while ago. The loss will
probably amount to between S75.-
600 and $50, 900, partly covered by
insurance.
