the cotton was of the long staple va
riety for which he expected to realize
l6 cents per pound. Mr.. Stringfellow
thinks the fire was purely accidental
as it was noticed by the hands at the
place soon after the mules had been
fed and they were all that could be
saved. There was no insurance on
anything except the building and 1t
was insured for about half its value
in the Farmers Mutual. Mr. Stringfel-
low did not have the cotton insured
because he expected to soon have IL
hauled to town. He estimates his loss
at $1,000. He says 1t is no use to wor-
ry and Is taking his lost calmly.
