This is a most hopeful sign, and the

The acreage of cotton in Lee coun-.
ty is about the same as that Of last
year. 1t may have been increased
somewhat in some sections Of the
county, while q reduction OF acreage
may be made in otLer sections.
When the acreage isobtained, it is

Brick Buildings viii Replace
The Wooden Buildings burned
SUCH is THE INTENTION OF THE PEOPLE OF sMITHyILLE
ACCORDING no REPORTS SINCE THE DISASTROUS
FIRE-MODERN STRUCTURES ARE TO BE
ERECTED ON SITE OF THE FIRE

From Smithville comes the en-
courasing report that modern brick
buildings will replace the ones that
were blrned there in the recent fire.
Not a single wooden building will
be erected in the area where thedre
swept away the wooden stores that
once stood there, according to re-
ports from Smithville.
This commendable spirit in the
people of Smithvilleis meeting with
Wide approval in Lee county. The
people of the people sympi thize with
those who lost property in the fire.
They ais approve the spirit Of the
people Of Smithville which has
caused them to decide to replace
these wooden buildings with brick
buildings.
Especially imperative is the brick
building in towns whese there is lit
tie or no fire protection. 1t is far
better to spend a little more money
and to construct a building that is
largely fre-proof than TO build one
that is SO susceptible to fires. The

cost Of the building may be saved
many times over in the protection
Of fires.
In the sti mutation Of interest as
regards the construction Of brick
buildings instead Of wooden ones
the recent fire may prove most help
ful for Smithville and Lee county.
The fact that an effort has been
made by the enactment Of an ordi-
nance in Smithyille for the especial
purpose Of keeping gasoline press
ing clubs outside of the corporate
limits is another helpful feature Of
the FIRE. The board Of aldermenof
Smithv.lle are determined that the
presence Of a pressing club Of this
kind within the heart Of the city
shall not be allowed. This within
itself may serve to prevent other fires
in smithville, as the menace Of the
gasoline pressing club is 4 constant
and serious one in towns without
fire protection.
