c. 4 0. FREIGHT OFFICE AT ASH.
LAND DAMAGED BY FIRE

Ashland, KY, August 2-The inside
OF the G. & o. freight Office building,
located on Fifteenth street between
Front and Greenup, was badly dam
aged this afternoon by a fire which
was discovered about twelve-thirty
o'clock. Although the fire department
had the blaze under control in less
than half an hour it did much dam
age, especially on the second floor
where the fire apparently started. The
cause of the fire has not yet been as
icertained. Many of the files and pa
pers were carried out of the offices
by men and boys, who also carried
out the safe and much of the furni-
ture.
The freight house In the rear of the
Offices was not damaged to great
extent.
The fire department was hindered
in fighting the blaze by the extreme
heat and heavy smoke Three lines of
hose were rapidly laid by the firemen
Under the direction of Chief Hensley,
,ne from the Greenup plug, one from
the Front street plug and one from
the Winchester avenue plug to which
was attached the pumper which did
fine work.

CROP CONDITIONS THROUGHOUT
BROWN COUNTY MOST PROM.
ISING, ALTHOUGH ACRE.
AGE IN CURTAiLED

Georgetown lO.) News-Democrat
Crop conditions In Brown county
are most encouraging at this time,
and the harvest will be more than ex-
pected II the rainfall Is sufficient the
remainder OF the season. Although
corn In many sections is Irregular
being planted at different times ow-
Ing to wet weather-there Is posi-
tive assurance of bumper crop. The
outlook at present for full acreage OF
tobacco, Is not as promising as In
past season, as most Of the weedl
was set late, owing to scarcity of
plants at the proper time for trans
planting. A glance at the Kentucky
hills OF the sections visible from the
Ohio side, reveal many fields that the
farmers were unable to get out,
which have grownup In weeds. I'm
doubtedly they would have planted
corn, had they not expected, rain and
plants before it was too late for to-
bacco planting. However, with favor
able weather and no early frosts, the
late setting will come out, as tobac-
co Is usually ready for housing about
ninety days after planting.
The most promising fruit crop at
present is the apple. In most places
practically all the trees are laden
with apples which ara exceptionally
large at this time. There Is every
chance for plenty of apples IL no
later damage comes. The greatest
damage ahead seems to be the cater
pillar. This insect is more noticeable
this year than in many past. Not
only are apple trees covered with the
oaterpillar's web, but all other fruit
trees, also, mulberry, elm and syca-
more. With the results of this in
sect's work eliminated, there is no
doubt but what every orchard will
make a good yield.
