We guess they need 'sympathy then more than at other times. Mr. A. J. Fite, who is one of Jackson county’s very best far mers, will farm very little this lyear. It is a pity to lose such a man from agriculture as Mr. Fite, lie carefully ditches and terraces Ids lands, rotates bis crops, plows deep, and otherwise takes splen did care of the land. Each year he endeavors to make the soil he cultivates more productive than it was the previous year. When .Mr. H. H. Freeman paid his subscription this week to the Herald, he said, “This pays every debl I owe. lam always very careful about making debts. In fact, I do not have to buy much, as 1 always try to make my living at home. I bought only fifteen bushels of corn in all my life. I grow wheat, corn, oats, hay, peas, syrup, and I make my own meat. 1 find by so doing, that 1 can al ways pay my debts, whether cot ton sells for a good price or a low price.” LOCAL ICE PLANT GETTING READY TO MANUFACTURE ICE From Commerce News Arrangements for the manufac ture of iee are rapidly nearing completion.

(Spec ial.) —The Bon Air, among the best known, of southern winter re sort hotels, was destroyed by fire which broke out early this morn ing,the structure being in ashes by 6a.m., after burning two hours and a half. The destruction was complete, except for servants’ quarters. The guests left the hotel in an orderly manner, no one of them being injured, though many of them lost personal effects, the sum total of which is in the tens of thousands of dollars. One of the best seasonse was at its height, practically all of the 260 guest rooms being occupied, j Leaving the burning structure the guests found refuge in the [Part ridge Inn, a nearby winter re sort hotel. In addition scores of the heads of families residing in the Ilill section presented them- Jselves at the fire and sought to make the hotel guests their home guests, with the result that sever- al of the visitors found accomoda tions in this way. Some of these visitors are to remain here for the winter in their newly found homes and others are seeking to rent cot tages on the Hill. The Partridge Inn has taken as many of the “homeless” ones as possible, and downtown hotels filled during the day. Insects Carry Disease.
