While many Lyon and TrIgg coun-

refusing to compromise the suits en-

the embers to the Waldroph & Allen
plant. whence it was communicated
to the Sheriff. plant next west. The
Snuff company plant was directly

J. s. Sheriff. represents the firm OF

The small loss sustained is due to
the fact that the dry weather has
practically stopped deliveries and
most of the tobacco on hand had
been packed and shipped out Other
wise. the loss would have been enor-
nous.
Il was stated by the tobacco men
today that there has been no friction
at Mayfield and there is not the
slightest ground for attributing the
fire to malice. Redrying tobacco is
considered exceedingly hazardous at
all times, and insurance companies
exact high premiums.
