anticipations may not be blasted.
The item is as follows:
A factory for the manufacture of
rubber from the guayule shrub, which
grows abundantly throughout TINS
portion of Texas, is being erected at
Marathon The shrub belongs to the
semiarid class of vegetation. It
grows to height of three to four
feet, and has a small white leaf that
readily distinguishes it from other
desert plants. Numerous stocky
trunks spring up from the roots. 1t
is from the woody parts of the shrub
that the rubber is extracted These
contain from IS to 40 per cent rubber
The fact that rubber could be produc-
ed from this shrub was discovered
about four years ago. This enterprise
marks the beginning Of the rubber in
dustry in the United States, and the
promoters say their experiments have
convinced them that the project will
be successful.

A Garden Seat.

If you are cutting down trees in the
yard, save two stumps which are close
together, for the purpose of making
a substantial basis for garden seat,
or, if you desire, have two large pieces
cut and put in the place where you
wish this seat. Cover it with large
flat board for seat, make a suitable
rustic back and arms. If desired, the
grape vines can be interviewer
through the back and arms, and over
it can be grown pretty trailing vines

Randolph Exchange, House and
Stable Of Fred Aver Burned.

rha TOWN of Randolph was visited
| .,r,v Thursday morning with IRE
| which was more destructive and dan
| oaro,Is than has been seen in Randolph
rnr a long time. The fire occurred
right i'm the heart of the town H. IL
snot where wooden buildings are
wedged in so close that they seem al
most like one building and only the
absence of a breeze saved the prop
erty owners a much heavier loss. The
buildings burned were the Randolph
Exchange and stables and the stable
and house of Fred Aver.
The fire was first discovered by Mr..
Aver, who about quarter past three
happened to look out of his window
and discovered a fire in the loft of the
barn belonging to the Exchange. He
aroused the proprietor of the place.
Mr.. Gass. and started to spread the
alarm of fire. A number of people were
soon out spreading the alarm ana the
Randolph fire department was soon on
the scene. 1t was soon seen that help
would be needed and word was sent
to Gardiner. The out of town Slgnai
was blown at about ten minutes of four
was soon on the spot. BY the time OF
their arrival, however. it was seen that
the Exchange was 4 total loss and the
efforts of the fire-tehters were directed
toward saving the buildings of Mr..
Aver and other surrounding property.
Fire had already spread to the barn of
the Aver place and hIndlCd by ten
tons If new hay in the loft was soon

better as the walls and partitions Were

Mr. Aver has recently made great
improvements and it is thought that
the entire damage to his property will
| reach nearly $1,000 He has abou,
| $4,000 insurance in the Bailey and
Maxcy agencies.
Samuel Gass. the proprietor and own
| er of the Exchange. met with tota'
loss of the buildings ard furniture
amounting to over $4,000 on which he
was carrying $4,000 insurance.
Mr. Aver on being interviewed as t
whethc- he would rebuild. stated thai
| he should and that probably when he
| did he would tear down the ruins o.
| the old place and put UP an entirely
new building. Mr.. Gass will also re
