Fire of unknown origin, on Friday nlglit, Nov. 17th, destroyed the barn and stabl?s, corn crib and contents on Mrs?. N. M. Knox's farm, in tho Cheohee section of Oconee. Tho loss is considerable for Mrs. Knox, whoso .buildings wero destroyed, but tho loss sustained by Mr. Rogers fails very heavy on him, lie hoing only a renter, and having lost practically his entire yoar's w?rlc. Mr. Rogors' loss is summed up as follows: .2,700 bundles of fodder, i^Vfl?ft ?bUJich?B of tops, one wagon, i al mo st "his entire crop bf corn, somo of his farming tools, two fattening hogs. . Every off ort was made to savo the property, hut tho bro when first no ticed had gained considerable head way, and absolutely nothing could bo done. Even the unfortunate hogs could not bo gotten out of the fire, though it was duo io the noise they made that tho dre was discovered. The barn was blazing from tho roof when, discovered, and the adjoining buildings and pons were quick to ignite from tho intonso heat. Mr. Rogers ls a hard-working man and the loss falls very hoavy on htm. Ho lost practically tho results of hip entire year's work, all of his rough foodstuff having been stored away for tho winter, and ono large hay stack that was located near the barn was also burned. Somo 25 or 30 bushels of tho corn in tho crib was not altogether consumed hy the Ure, but oven this is rendered useless frf oven stock feed, hoing badly scorched and smoked. lt is estimated that ho lias about the samo quantity of corn still in the flold, which, of course, is .undamaged. This is all that ho will have from his 1?)22 labors. Wo believe that this ls a caso where assistaiico Is warranted, and wo feefl suro that any contributions to tho needs of this family will bo greatly . appreciated as well as richly deserv ed.
