PROUD OF HIS TOWN.
What One Man Is Doing to Improv.
jackson. Tenn,

SdSNooUa
One Of the most progressive town
officials In the south Is Samuel Lam
caster, city engineer Of Jackson, Tenn.
Mr.. Lancaster thinks there is no place
like Jackson, and he wants others to
think so, too, and he Is doing every
thing in his power to make 1t one Of
the prettiest towns In the country. 1t
Is due In a great measure to his eff
forts that good roads are being built in
Madison county. But road building Is
not all that has engrossed the big brain
Of Sam Lancaster, says writer in
the waterworks he saw chance to do
things. Jackson had no park, and near
the waterworks there was needed
raised roadway. Sam Lancaster made
the fill, and before any one knew what
he was up to he had built fine lake
the fill. Smaller lakes near by came,
then drives, bridges, boats, lilies omar
velous lilies), banks of flowers, trees.
An unsightly railway yard adjoined
the waterworks. The railway was ask
ed for few cars Of earth. Presto! Sam
made the yard and the park join.
Grass, flowers, shrubs, beauty, order,
seats, comfort, inspiration, hope. all
came out of that old sink hole. And
the manager only grinned when he
saw that Sam Lancaster had actually
parked and fenced part Of his
right of way. Now travellers on that
railway will pass by and say. Jack
son, Tenn, Is beautiful place and
must have people of culture within it."

The Bourbon news. [volume] (Paris, Ky.) 1895-19??, 1907-01-29

At z o'clock last evening still
alarm was sent to the fire department
that the handsome City School building
was on fire. The department made
+ fast run to the building and on arriving
there found flames bursting from the
basement windows and the whole build
ing filled with binding smoke. 1t was
very difficult matter to get to the
fire. 1t originated right over the fur
mace, which is situated under the front
room on the East side. the room used
by Mrs. Fanniebelle Sutherland.
The fire had burned through the floor
in this room and had spread throughout
the basement.
Four streams of water were turned
on and the firemen were making a des-
perate fight to save the building at this
writing.
The last hose attached was not long
enough to reach the building, and the
new extension ladder recently purchas-
ed had to be sent for so they could
enter the second story window. The
wagon also making the second trip
back to engine house for hose.
The fire at o'clock was still burning
and they were endeavoring to keep it
confined to the first floor. Some hopes
were entertained at this time that the
brave fire ladies would be succ essful,
but hopes were soon cast aside as it
suddenly became evident that no
human efforts could save the beautiful
building from destruction, and it is

seemed to be at the fire. The burning
OF the copper that cover the dome
while burning made almost every color
of the rainbow, and when it fell was
one of the most spectacular scenes
ever witnessed in our city
Un January IS, 1889, about the same
hour, just Ell hteen years ago last
night, the old City School building was
burned to the ground
The building burned last night was
built in 1890 at cost of $50, 900, which
is total loss. There was $4,000 in
surance on the building.
No one worked more like hero at
the fire than did Prof. Geo. w. Chap
man, the Superintendent. He was on
the scene shortly after the alarm was
turned in and the last seen of him he
looked like a walking icicle, his wet
clothes having frozen on him. The
school was never under more promising
conditions than now under the manage
ment OF Prof. Chapman, and many
words OF sympathy were expressed for
this calamity.
Most Of the pupils of the school lost
their books ano the teachers d number
of valuable personalities left in their
desks.

are advancing and a farm costs
more than it did a year ago but land
is still much cheaper than northern
