Barn Burned.
Saturday afternoon about five
o'clock a barn belonging to W. G.
Webb, living about two miles
from town, was burned. The
barn contained over 100 barrels
of corn, six tons of cotton seed
hulls and a quantity of pea hay.
Mr. Webb can not account for the
fire, but thinks perhaps it may
have been caused by his dropping
some matches in the barn out
of his pocket, which were after
wards gnawed by rats and so
ignited. The total loss is esti
mated at $400.
