The jail is freproof and no damage was done except in the one cell, the services of the fire department not being required.

In making the return trip from the fire the horses hitched to steamer No, l of the fire department took fright when the wheels bumped into a rut and ran away, taking the engine through the streets a distance of half q mile. The horses finally exhausted themselves after throwing all the men off the engine and pulled up on West Clinton street without doing any dam age.

Montgomery, January 25.--(Special.)- The defeat of the late primary on Mon- day before the session of the state dem ocrstic committee was more of a Bank head victory than it was the loss or the gain of any other man or set of men. The senator stood to have a hefty line of opposition with nine months for Capt F. 8. White to organize his fight. so he and his friends got into the fight early for an early primary.

THAT REMINDS ME
Mr. E. N U Tries the Happy Independent" Life On the Farm-Loses All His Savings and Gets In Debt-He
 Is Satisfied Back In Town
By WALTER HARPER.

wide open hall between and a large room in an ell for kitchen and dining room. The rooms were airy, it is true. but that was one of the blessings of farm life. Plenty of air is good for the health.
 But I will not bore you with details
 I went right out to work in January cleaning up the land and getting it ready for blowing.
 Mudl The slush was terrible. I just could not get used to miring up to my ankles in the thawing earth. The roads through the farm were just as bad and remained so most of the spring
 When blowing time came I realized that I had to have a horse or a mule. That had not occurred to me. But this was just the beginning of my troubles. knew nothing of buying stock and had to call on a neighbor for advice. He had 1t on tap and was anxious to help me. He had just the ''critter' needed, mule. The animal was a little old but he would do good service and he could afford to sell him cheap because he was old. and then he wanted to help me get started right on the farms
 The price was $150; good, first-class mule would cost me $100 more, but this one would do my work all right, and as good as the average high-priced animal so the neishbor told me-
 This reduced my cash capital to $450. bu, I did not wince. I would make 1t all back in my first crop.
 To dispose of the mule before l proceed I will say that he died early in March be- fore had begun to prepare my land Having by this time spent all my money as will explain later, was compelled tt buy another on credit for which prom ised $200.
 When I was ready to begin work found that I would have to have blows wagon, harness. gear, hoes. rakes spades, cultivators, planters-I am unable to remember now what did have to hav' from time to time--indeed, from day tt l day. It was spend. spend, spend, withou rest had luckily laid in two months' sup ply of rations. My cash capital was gon' before one seed was planted. ] Yet I was not discouraged One crol would fill my barns and smokehouse, ans T would reap more than an hundred folt | in return for all I had spent. l The spring was wet and l noticed tha I my neighbors gathered every day at tn l crossroads store and howled caIamit, l while they whittled up the empty boxe

smiled at this characteristic pessimism and continued to prod about on my farm.
 The mud was knee deep, but knew the Good Lord would give me time to make a crop.
 After time the rains ceased and every body went to work. The world was bright with hope. Then for the first time heard the country birds singing their hymns. The sunshine was glorious.
 I planted corn, cotton and potatoes. was not, however, able to get all my 40 acres planted on account of the late be- ginning and the dampness of the low lands.
 I got in 12 acres in corn, 10 acres in cotton and six in potatoes. I also planted about three acres in cabbage, beans and turnips.
 When the crop was up and growing finely I began to count profits. Those were days of sunny dreams. The growing corn and cotton was the most beautiful sight that I had ever witnessed. The sunny days continued I thought had never seen so many bright sunny days in the city in all my life. enjoyed them. but my neishbors seemed to be worrying. When I asked what was the matter they shook their heads and re- piled, ''the drouth''
 This was the limit. When 1t rained they wanted sunshine and when the sun was shoinins they wanted rain. I soon was shining they wanted rain. I soon began to worry. My corn shriveled up and the cotton 'forms'' began to shed My potatoes turned yellow and died.
 I will hasten to the miserable end.
 I sold N3.73 worth of vegetables from my garden. This paid the balance ] owed on my COW.
 I gathered five bales of cotton. After paying for the picking. ginning and haul ing to market had enough to pay for the fertilizer, the mule and $25 on the pro- vision account that had accumulated since I had finished spending my cash capital.
 The net crop of potatoes amounted tc 150 bushels. L tried to keep these foi a reasonable price and half of then rotted The others I shipped to a com mission merchant, who reported another half rotten. The small residue that was fit to market netted me enough to pa, l freight and transportation back to Bir 1 mingham.

tatoes, peas and vegetables-eyerything I had forgotten the rent.
 I gave him the mule and borrowed the balance from my brother-In-iaw, who is in the furniture business, and settled that score.
 Yes; I am back in town.

For more than a year the officers have been search- ing all over this section of the country for Brown.
