But Five thousand acres of land was burned over Saturday night and Sunday in the worst mountain fire in this section for 25 years. It is estimated that from $10,000 to $12,000 worth of timber has been destroyed. The fire i stacted near Edgemont, and by mid' night had extended nearly to Shooks- i town. Relays of from 20 to 50 men fought it until Sunday, when the force was increased to about 200. Sunday morning the fire extended in an almost unbroken line from Shookstown across the entire mountain side to Harmony, a distance of nearly seven miles.

From the villages of Harmony, Shookstown, Edgemont, Yellow Springs and Rocky Springs the flames could be seen leaping from tree to tree, and at times a roar was heard that terrorized persons living along the mountain side. Barns and outbuildings were threatened on the Lortz, Korrell and Crabbs farms. Korrell saved his outbuildings by plowing around them. Churches of the villages near the fire were abandoned by male members, who were out to fight the flames. The fire was fought by the old method of starting another fire in the direction of the main blaze, but owing to the dry condition of the woodland it leaped across narrow places and started out afresh.

Persons in that locality say between 7,000 and 8,000 acres of land have been burned over. BUY your and PLANTS Direct from the growers and save money. We grow everything worth planting. Will make a special price on PEACH Trees to New Customers. Thirty-five variet its.
