FORD BURNS
Fire Starts In Barber Shop,
Causing $25,000 Loss.
A most destructive fire occurred
last Tuesday night at our neigh
boring city of Ford. At about
three o'clock in the morning a
fire was discovered in the barber
shop and from this the flames
spread rapidly to the adjoining
buildings, and in a short time a
large part of the city lying on the
east of the railroad was in
flames. About twenty-five houses
were destroyed and the loss is es
timated at about $25,000.00.
Ten residences were destroyed,
but fortunately the occupants suc
ceeded in saving most of the contents-
The other buildings de
stroyed were stores and shops'
Many of the buildings were wood
en structures and owing to the
fact of the very dry conditions pre
vailing, they burned like tinder.
The largend substantial brick
buildings fared bnt little better,
and in a short time' the eastern
portion of the city was in ashes.
No suffering is reported and
no loss of life and no mishaps of
any kind.
A full account will appear in
our next regular issue.

A Good Thing.
When Dr. Crabbe suggested
that Madison County hold three
Farmers' Chautauquas everyone
thought of their value to the far
mer and his family, but no one
thought definitely of the advertis
ing value that has become so ap
parent in the past three weeks.
Never in the history of Madison
County has the outside press had
as much to say about us. . The
Courier Journal has published

This is the best class of advertis
ing any community can have.
