First Baptist Church Burned.
The First Baptist church of
1 Jonesboro, on Main street, was
practically destroyed by fire
; Wednesday afternoon near three
! o’clock.
The building is thought to
have caught from a defective
flue leading from the furnace
Shortly after dinner a fire had
been built by the janitor in the
furnace and also in a small stove
in a small wooden building ad
joining the church. When it
was first discivered, the smoke
was coming from the top of the
j building near the furnace flue.
| The fire was first discovered by
the sexton and the alarm was
turned in-by Berl Smith at the
Y. M. C. A. The fire depart
ment arrived shortly after and
the work of fighting the flames
was commenced. The fire was
very hard to get to at first, as
it was in the loft to which there
was no opening.
Before the fire could be coped
with successfully, it had gotten
a good headway and could not be
stopped- The Y. M. C- A., which
is the next building to the
church, wras in danger of catch
ing from the sparks flying in ev
ery direction, and men went on
top of it and thereby kept the
j sparks from doing any material
I damage.
The insurance on the building

was carried on the furniture.
The burning of the old build
ing will necessitate the early
completion of the newT building,
which is now under construction.

Reached 313.
_
Special to Independent.
Newark, Dec. 18.—In spite of
rainy weather, Wednesday was
a big day at the Newark Farm
School. There was an increase
of 88 in the registration, mak
ing a total of 313.
Professor Nelson's lecture on
“Humus" and Professor Lasset
ter’s discussion of “Quality in
Cotton Seed", each brought forth
a volley of questions. Practical
circulars or bulletins, supple
menting each lecture and demon
stration, are handed out and a
supply of these are kept on hand
where every man can help him
self. This enables the farmer to
have on hand at home a read/
reference to subject matter per
taining to each lecture. The new'
Experiment Station Bulletin, No.
115, “Com Improvement,” by
Professors Nelson and Ru ck i
in demand
A pin di’op could have been
heard while Professor Pecker ex
plained the benefits of the nur
sery inspection law, described
the conditions which demanded
, its enactment, and urged the
j support of legislation measures
for making its enforcement more
effective. Professor Basset ter
j continued the cotton grading ex
ercises, while Professor Wliee
lock, making use of some pure
bred Jerseys brought in for the
purpose, pointed out methods
for dairy cow improvement and
i emphasized their importance.
The crowning fealure of the
(lay’s program was President
John C. Put rail’s address on
“The New Agriculture.” A large
audience greeted President Fu
trall and appreciation of his
presence and his discourse was
expressed on all sides. At night
Professor Becker told a well
filled hall of the “Beneficial In
sects.” His lecture was very
entertaining as well as instruc
tive and received much favorable
comment.
