There were large and attentive

An unsuccessful effort was made
to burn the Tifton barrel factory on
Wednesday night of last week. The
lire was discovered before any dam
age was done; the customary bundle'
of rags and kerosene was used, hut
did not succeed so well as in tiie case
of the turpentine distillery. No clue
lias yet been found as to tho would-
be tire-bug.
Capt. H. II. Tift went up to At
lanta last Sunday to utle'id a meet
ing of the Georgia Lumber Exchange,
