This is the time of the year when
the wide-awake farmer is out in his
field cleaning off the fence rows, cut
ting back the brier patches and grub
bling up stumps, for he has learned by
experience that it Is a most expensive
practice to cultivate briars and stumps

tween a we'll cleared piece of land and
one that is covered with briers and
stumps is so striking that the fellow
who owns the latter should become

JACKSON HAS WORST
FIRE SINCE 1875

About one o'clock on Saturday night
the explosion of fire works in the rear
room of Mr. Frank Vresinski's store
made known the presence of fire which
had gained such Roadway even then as
to be hopelessly beyond the efforts Of
any one to control it. The high wind
from the southeast soon carried the
flames to the adjoining stores and
buildings across the street. Masses of
blazing shingles fell into many pre-
misses, causing great danger, and ne
|cessitating superhuman exertions to
save the little that was saved. Eight
buildings were destroyed before the
flames were got under control.
The buildings destroyed included
three stores, owned by George w.
Brown, Leo e. Mayer and Klein Broth
ers; the Messrs. Klein's warehouse,
la barber shop, owned by Mayer and
occupied by w. Adams; the warehouse
owned by w. r. McKowen estate, the
meat market owned by w. w. Paine,
and the post office owned by Mayer
Mr.. Vresinski lost practically all OF
his stock, which was without insur-
ance. Mr.. w. Adams lost his entire
outfit in his barber shop which was In
the same building. A few account
books and government records were
all that was saved from the Jackson
post-office, which was In the front Of
the store. Mr.. A. G. Werber saved
