BY ANNIE KEN DRlck WALKER.

, to interest individuals in the different communities to organize local associa- tiOns The following letter has been ad- dressed to residents In Jefferson county who are interested In the schol question: Desiring to cooperate with the teachers of this county in the sacred and impor- tant work in which they are engaged, that of training the children for citizenship and social service, I am enclosing three circulars on School Improvement, which are issued by the state department or education. also a copy of letter issued by the Alabama Federation of Womens clubs, which explains their offer of SlOO to be given to the County School Improve ment association that reports the greatest improvement in its rural schools during this year, the prize to be given in turn by the county association to the local asso- ciation in that county that submits the best report.
 As a progressive teacher and one who is interested in the welfare of the com munity in which you teach, l am sure the advantages of having a school inn provement association there will appeal to you. Our teachers realize more than any one else the need for better material equipment for our schools.
 Jefferson County School Improvement association hopes to arouse the interest of the people of the county in the improve
  association in every school district In the county. Of course it is hardly possible for us to reach personally every district in the county except through the teacher. If you could gather together some of the most intelligent and interested among your people and organize a local associa- ton which will work for the betterment of the school which their children attend, we feel sure that all would be pleased with the results
 We have no doubt that your county board of education will do all they possi- bly can to further such movement, and our county association will be glad to assist by sending you whatever helps we can secure. If you think it would help you for us to write to some one else in your community. we shall be glad for you to send us the name of one of your leading patrons.
 of your association decides to offer $25 to the teacher of the school that submits the best report, insert paragraph to that effect)
 Help us to win the $100 prize for Jeffer- son county by inducing your people to win it for themselves.

Disastrous Fire.

| A fire that made clean sweep occurred
on the former Campbell farm, located OIL
the road from Jacksonville to Smithville
at eight o'clock on Sunday morning The
farm, consisting of 100 acres, is owned by
Henry Mamber and Abraham Vickers,
who are pressmen in the employ of the
Philadelphia Ledger With their families
they lived on the farm, going to the city
every day.
The fire was discovered by Mrs. Nam.
rem, Mrs. Vickers and her two children
being away at the time.
There is little doubt but that the fire
was the work of an incendiary. A tramp
who stopped at the house and asked for
breakfast, was told to wait. The fellow did
SO, but soon renewed his request. Again
he was put off, as Mrs. Mamber was mo-
mentarily expecting her husband and Mr..
Vickers. to arrive. Fail ure to get break
fast was disappointment to the tramp,
who sauntered around to the rear of the
hay barn, the door of which was open, at
which point the flames appeared few
minutes later.
A strong northwest wind prevailed, and
quick action was required as there was
some stock to be saved. After having re-
leased the horses and cows, Mrs. Mamber
rushed to the house, all the buildings
being grouped together. Placing her
four months-old baby in coach, which
was pushed down the road to a point of
safety, but in the path of the flames, the
almost frantic mother, with the help of
two daughters, saved part of the house
hold goods, in which work assistance was
rendered by neighboring farmers, who
FASTENED to the scene with all possible
speed. While this work was going on a
large burning ember settled on the baby,
and when Mrs. Mamber noticed it, its
was ablaze. The little one, who
was not burned, was fastened to the resi-
dence of Edward johnson. All the
family clothing and most of the household
goods were burned. Nothing remains of
the buildings but two large chimneys.
The heat was intense, making it difficult |
TO save anything.
The buildings destroyed consisted of the
dwelling house, two barns. pig pen, chick |
en- house. four corn cribs. work shop,
'moke house, two pumpFhouses and three
Jheds. With these were destroyed all the |
,rops, machinery, ETC., including over
fifty chickens, twelve hogs, two cats and |
/ bull dog. The latter was chained, and |
he roaring flames kept away all assistance.
Learning of the disaster upon their ar
ival in Mount Holly, Messrs. Mamber and
Iickers ran their horse all the way to the
arm. where they found their home re-
uced to a bed of ashes, and all they
ould do was to look upon the doleful
Gene. The families were taken in by
eighbors until other arrangements are
made. 1t is uncertain whether these men
1ill rebuild and continue farming.
There was an insurance of So, 500 on the
buildings; 5000 on the household goods.
,oss about 5000.

The Birkhead Hosiery Mills, Beverly

for closing the Beverly Mills.

Death Of Mrs. Ingram.

The sad tidiugs were received
early Tuesday morning of the death
OF Mrs. Paul Ingram al Troy. Mrs.
Ingram was sick a few days only,
the physicians attributing her de-
mise to an acute attack of conges-
ton. Mrs. Ingram was about thirty
seven years of age and leaves four
children, all boys, whose names are
Ashley, Stainback. Keith and VIM.
Merriwether. Miss Blanch Elder
was the daughter of Mr.. and Mrs.
Chas. Elder, of Trenton. being
united in marriage to Mr.. Paul In
gram, of Jackson, about eighteen
years ago. Shortly afterwards the
young couple moved TO Troy and
were. soon established in all the
relations of society and we'll be-
ing of that community. which con-
tinued without interruption.
Mr.. Ingram has during the time
held the position as cashier of the
Bank of Troy and his most estima-
BILE wife leading place in church
and social affairs. She was gifted
with graces, with mind and char
acter. These blessings drew hosts
of friends around, and she respond
ed in kind from the abundance of
her heart. Mrs Ingram was deyot-
ed to her family, her home and her
friends. Many are reminded of her
generosity, her sympathy, kind
ness and sincerity. Such loss is
a sore affection to her husband and
children. 1t also leaves many 9TH
ers truly sad. The deceased was a
member of the Cumberland Presby-
terrain Church and Conscientious
christian. She lived for her loved
ones, her religion and her friends,
hence death comes with great grief
and sorrow.
Funeral services were held at the
residence in Troy at 10 o'clock
Tuesday morning, conducted by
Rev. Waynick, assisted by Rev.
Pressly, followed by interment at
the Troy cemetery.
