Fire lo the Mountain.
As usual, the mountain is on
fire, set out by hunters, so it is
said. The conflagration has al
ready sj read over several miles
of timbered land, and is doing
all the damage that it could
possibly do considering the fact
that so many former fires have
devastated the same territory.
Saturday. Sunday and Monday
brisk winds fanned the flames, 1
which travelled with consider
able speed. The northern border
of the fir 3 is in the region of the
Cutter place and Piedmont
springs, while the other end
reaches to the south side of the
mountain.
