A somewhat serious fire occurred about six miles south of this place last Tuesday. It originated between the farms of Mark Lewis and M- A. Dewey, and traversed about three or four sections of land sweeping almost everything in its path, burning up hay and straw stacks, farming implements, etc. At the time of writing the fire was still pushing on and will no doubt do a great amount of damage.
