Barn Burned Near Remington.

The large fine barn on the D. R. Jones farm southwest of Remington, in Jasper county, was stroyed by fire Thursday afternoon. Howard Jones lives bn the farm, and he was in Remington at the time. Mrs. Jones was sick and a four-year-old son got some matches and went to the barn where he set fire to some straw and the barn and all the contents was destroyed. The building is said to have been worth $2,000 and only carried $650 insurance. We are unable to learn the loss on contents, which was considerable, nor t!he insurance carried on the latter.
