Fire in the local freight office of

about 1880 o'clock last night, de-
stroyed the greater part of the old
records of the local and general
freight offices of the railroad COM

The fire is believed to have orig

the brick structure The actual dam

will not exceed 5000 or $500. it is said.
The records, many of which were in
valuable, cannot be replaced.
Owing to the character of the burn

smoke resulting, the fremen found it
difficult to enter the record room of
the building. This made their work
of controlling the flames all the more
difficult.

burned and charred records which had

many of them as possible. 1t is slow
work, but Mr. Field believes that
many valuable papers will be saved in
this way.
1t was about 7:30 o'clock last night
when someone noted a large quantity
of black smoke pouring from the
building. An alarm was turned in,
and it was but a few minutes before
each of the three fire companies had
responded. The freight office was en-
tered, but through the thick smoke
the firemen could see no blaze. They
felt their way to the record room,
and to the ware-room. The latter
place, too, was rapidly filing with
dense smoke.
j 1t was soon known that the actual
fire was in the record room. Chief

ANOTHER CITY WANTS TO ADOPT
THE SYSTEM INVENTED

The City of Hattiesburg's system
Of municipal accounting is being cop
led extensively by other cities and
towns of Mississippi, records made
public at the City Hall today show.
And still other towns of the Magnolia
State, who have heard of the system
perfected by the present board Of
.C//nissioners, working under the di-
TectiOns Of Commissioner Farley,
want to model their systems after the
local one.
McComb City is the latest town to
decide to reproduce the Hattiesburg
way of keeping accounts straight.
c. Q. Jones, public accountant of
McComb City. has sent the following
letter to Mayor Batson:
eve are installing a new system of
accounts for McComb City, and would
deem it favor if you will kindly fur
nish us information in order to have
the same in accord with the latest
methods now used by your city.
81 would like to have a leaf each
from your ledger as well as your cash
journal, as well as blanks of your
vouchers, pay rolls, checks, and other
forms of stationery used in your sys-
tenn that would tend to the quickest
and most modern results in handling
these accounts.
Il am informed that your, system is
modern, and would be glad to adopt as
near as possible, similar one here. .
! Commissioner Farley has complied
with the request.
Il believe it will be necessary for
the officials to come to Hhttiesburg

ing our system there" Capt FARLEY
said while our methods are very
simple, it will be difficult ito adopt
them by merely studying the blanks

First Auto i'm Iowa.

Many towns throughout the United
States are claiming the distinction OF
having manufactured the first mo-
tor or auto truck to be propelled by
its own force, Kokomo, Ind, being
the latest claimant of the honor. Iowa
however, was the first home of the
auto. The town CT Holstein, in north
western Iowa, can truly boast of the
first auto. The machine was built by
a machinist named Schneckloth, and
consisted of gasoline engine mount
ed on the running gears of an old
buggy, and was the source of much
establishment to the natives and
amusement and pleasure to it's own
er, who took delight in running 1t
about the streets of Holstein and into
the country during his leisure hours,
Schneckloth is turner and acrobat
of more than ordinary a@iiitv, and
machinist in every sense Of the word.
He made other autos after his first
venture, but never made any to sell.
They were simply made for his own
pleasure and the pleasure of his host
of friends who enjoyed the novelty
of ride in the goodwill before the
modern upholstered car was in exis-
tence.

but Iowa's autumns cannot be eX-

about them that takes possession of
one, not to be cast off until the vic

mating season, this call of the wild

What is more eXhilarating than TO
get up early on crisp fall morning
in Iowa and HE to the woodland for
a days outing. 1t may be for nuts,
to fish, or to hunt-the result is the
same. You are out in the open, an
