MILL FIRE

100000 FEET is BURNED AT LA
MAR LUMBER coMPANY's
PLANT YESTERDAY.

More than 100000 feet of lumber,
the best yellow pine South Mississippi
produces, was destroyed in a fire
which for time threatened the big
plant of the Lamar Lumber Company,
at Clyde, Miss, yesterday afternoon.
The lumber was stacked some dis
tance from the mill, and the valiant
work Of the volunteer fire brigade
saved the latter.
The loss, it was estimated today,
will amount to about $4,000 1t was
fully covered by insurance. The op-
Grafton of the plant was not interfer-
ed with, and the mills resumed oper-
atoms this morning.
Owing to the distance of the yard
from the plant, officials say that the
latter was in no danger, because the
frsmen were able to confine the blaze
to point where it originally started.

No Rain in Sight
For the Next FeW

FOR OCCASIONAL BRIEF
SHOWERS, DRY SPELL WILL
CONTINUE.

There is little likelihood that the
present dry spell will come to an end
within a short time.
A forecast for the week beginning
yesterday, has been issued by the
Vicksburg branch of the United States
Weather Bureau. 1t reads like this {:
For the South Atlantic and East Gulf
States-Except for local showers at
the beginning in the East Gulf States,
the week will be one of generally fair
weather, with temperatures above the

AS yet, the dry hot weather has not
greatly damaged the crops of this sec.

fear that if rain does not fall soon,
vegetation will greatly suffer.
