Disastrous Fire at MayVille Saturday
Night,

A disastrous fire occurred last Sat
urdav night on the Mayville plant, in
which the superintendent, E. j. Miller
and his partner, Lezine Lambert,
sustained a loss Of about $500; while
the company lost about $500. The
barn on the place, occupied by Mr..
Lambert, was burned to the ground
and with it six head Of mules, two
horses, and all the harness, machin-
cry, feed, etc. MessrS. Miller and
Lambert were handling three hun
dred acre crop. Mrs. Lambert being
i'll and the evening sEnclemate, Mr..
Lambert had done his chores early,
and at the time of the fire was in the
part of his house away from the barn,
so he did not discover the fire until
the entire structure was envelOped in
flames. 1t was only u matter of a
very few minutes from the time the
fire was discovered until the roof had
fallen in and it was practically i'm
possible to save anything. The total
loss aggregates about twenty-six hun
dred dollars, all of which is a total
loss.
The origin of the fire is a mystery,
as there had been no one around the
barn, so far as is known, for several
hours before the fire. Mr.. Miller has
the sympathy of the entire community
in his loss, which is especially severe
coming as it does at the beginning of
the season.

CROPS and Weather Conditions.

This section, which has been expert
encing an unprecedented drouth for
some time, was relieved by a two
days rain the first of the week. which
fell slowly and was mostly absorbed
as it fell. The ground, while too wet
to work Immediately after the rain, is
in excellent condition for the rice that
is in the ground: and will be in fine
working condition before the end OF
the week. While it has been excep-
tionally cold for the past two weeks,
it is beginning to warm up now, and
prospects look fine for everything
growing.
