A Barn Burned.

At A late hour last night the barn oH D. B. Martin at Martins Station. thirty miles west of nere on the Myr- Haywood branch of the Louisville and Nashville kailroad, was discovered on ire. IVhere is no doubt but that the barn fas set on fire, and the woiI re- ceived from that place today IS to the erect that the citizens of that commit nitv will make a determined effort to catch the person or persons who start ed the fire.
 Theer were several very fine horses belonging to Mr. Martin, besides several heads of fine cows and about twenty seven hogs in the barn. There was also stored in 1t about a car load of oats, and a large quantity of hay and co crn.
 When the fire was discovered the work of getting the horses and cattle out of the burning building was started at once. All of the horses and cattle weer successfully gotten out. bt the twenty-seven head of hogs and the cats, corn and hay was consmed by the flames The loss will probably reach between S2,OOO and $S,OoO.
