Mr, Goo. F. Ferguson, of Elgin,
had the misfortune of losing
his barn, stables, $250 worth of
seed cotton, about 150 bushels of
corn, a quantity of huy and about
8,000 bundles of fodder last Sunday
night by lire. The cause of
the (iro is not known. It may
have originated from rats and
matches Mr. Ferguson says that
he hasn't an enemy in tho world
that ho knows of and is loth to believo
that any one could have set
it afire. His loss is fully $1 800
or $2,000., with not a cent of insurance.
Mr. Ferguson is one of Lancas- (

and prosperous farmers and his
neignoors and trionds sympathize
greatly with hi;n in his loss and
many have shown their sympathy
in more substantial form than
words Mr. Ferguson requests
us to express his sincere thanks
to his neighbors and friends for
the assistanco rendered him and
to say that ho will over appreciate
their generosity and hold them in
grateful remembrance.
