J. E. Casey's Misfortune.
His many friends regret to hear
of the bad stroke of luck which
hag. hit J. E. Casey at Tuscola.
On Sunday afternoon while the
family wasiin the front part .of.
the house with the door to the
kitohen closed the latter oaugh
fire' and was so far gone when
theirattention was called to i
that nothing oould bo done to-
ward stopping the flames al-
though five or six men were al-
most immediately upon the scene.
With water something might
have been done but it is a half
milo.to the nearest well and there
was but a half-barrel of water at
the.houae.
No insurance and but little of
the oonterita were saved
Mr. Ca8ey has our sympathy
in his loss but he is too vigorous
aud full of vim for a fire to set
him back long.
Ho and his noighbora were in
town Monday for lumber to re-
build. The

Editor Roporbr:
I soo that my ;old time friend
S. E. Friond' in a communica-
tion to Tho Reporter speaks of
farming in this oountry in early
days referring to Wm. Dunn
who raised gO$d obrn in 1876.
All who w"erB here then may
oall to mind the fact that in 1870
it rained so muoh in June that all
the streams in Taylor county
reached the highest mark known
to that "date. .'
Sam thinfcai thiswaa' :a better
farming oountry then than now.
In 1877 all feed orops wero fairly
'good; -"
In thia year the' froat qf June
10th came but corn was nearly
in roasting ear grew right along
and matured although the shuok
was burned' blaok by the frost.
However t remember that 1875'
was a very ary year and orops
would;haveiared:poorlyfc though
as Sam sayflt the streams did not
dry up'aaHhey do now in dry
.seasons." ''.?

and they cqiitihued ;on -to 1884j
when enough rain oamo to make
only fair orbpabut the winter of
1885 was ihe driest I ever aaw.
Then followed' the well known
dry year of 1886-87 but lota of
feed stuff 'was made both years
(arid I believe that cotton would
have matured and produced fair-

is more than we had 'in 1891
