It was an ugl: fire to fight,hidden away under a lo of empty boxes in a part of the ston used for lumber storage. The firi may have been caused by a brokei j electric light wire, for Chief Thiem< i of the fire department, in huntinj for the fire in the dark and smoke was badly burned by the live wire IS C R I r !

LOCALS FROM LAKE CITY. 1 ? Fishermen Have Good Lack?Ref llgloas and Personal Items. 3 Lake City, May 17:?Messrs John [ E Baker and B Wallace Jones, Sr, . left Sunday for Birmingham to - attend the Confederate reunion. 3 Children's day exercises were held at the Methodist church last Sunday. 1 Fishing is the only business in ? this section that is thriving now, - and that business is being worked t for all there is in it. Lynch's lake 5 has a well-trod "tow path" on each - side; and every pike not yet deceas* ed. had better make his will. A 1 good part of the population are spending their time largely in the - swamps, and they are catching fish, * too. We have heard of but a single * instance where a man who went af* ter fish failed to get them, and in 1 that instance the man got something. I He came back well "primed" and J orating in a circle. , 3 Monday morning rain began fall* ing about 9 o'clock and continued t with some interruptions until early ' Tuesday morning. It was not a t beating, washing rain, but a quiet. 1 soaking one. Just what was needed. It whuld be surplusage, absurdly * jidiculous to say it was welcome and e very much so. To put it conservatively, this rain was worth thous~ ands of dollars to the country. 1 The Halcyon hotel closed its doors - -1-1- ? ? ? 1-. 11 ?. Oa n??
