In the Davis gin, which burned
near Bonham last Monday at noon,
fifty bales of cotton were totally des
troyed by fire and seventy-five or a
hundred were so badly burned that
they will scarcely bring anythingin
the market. The gin was not in
sured, and caught fire from the fric
tion of the gin saw. Tho flames
Bashed over the whole room in a
second's time. It would perhaps
have been saved, but the dirt-dob-bers
had stopped up the steam-pipe
leading to the lint-room and prevent
ed the steam from reaching the
room. One farmer lost seventeen
bales of cotton which he had been
saving to pay off a mortgage on his
farm, and which fell duo Tuesday.
Ho expected to take the cotton to
Bonham the next day and lift it, but
he lost all, and perhaps his farm will
be sold. The burning of this gin
was a great calamity to the whole
community for six or seven miles
aiound, and will be the cause of
much suffering.
