The fire in Mr.. T. v. Richardson's bay in
his large barn on Tuesday of this week created
quite little excitement and demonstrated
that trouble makes all the world kim"
number of folks from the Manor went
down to help Mr.. Richardson fight the fire
which, with the assistance of the Marble Hill
Volunteer chemical engine, finally subdued
the destructive flames. 1t is supposed the hay
was green and wet when put in the barn on &C
count of so much rain, and this caused sponta-
neous combustion. Mr.. Richardson owns
beautiful tract of land, one square mile in ex-
tent, and his barns and herd of COWS are the
admiration of the countryside. He is a sue
cessful up to date farmer who by his own
efforts has demonstrated that farming does pay
when done on business principles. Mr.. Rich
ardson bought his sisters interest in his home
farm of $50 acres, which they inherited from
their father, the late VIM. Richardson. His
other farms were formerly owned by his
grandfather, Thomas Richardson, who died in
1865, leaving each of his seven children farm.
Death and the changes that time brings has
descendants and his grandson, It. V. Richard
son, has bought all of it except the woodland
left Mrs. Penelope H. Price, deceased, many
years ago. This was sold by her heirs to
Germans who have cut the wood off and now
have snug homes near Jacksonville.
MIR. Richardson's barn was saved, although
much of his hay was burned. A barn on one
of his other farms was recently destroyed by
fire. H.
