D. Shirley’s place on north Elm burning almost everything it its course. Vegetation being so dry the fire spread rapidly. Elijah Goodnight lost nearly all of his crop and fencing; Mr. Westbrook lost his entire crop of corn and cotton and a large portion of fencing; a son-in-law of Mr. Shirley, whose name we did not learn, lost one bale of cotton. At last account, late last night, the fire was still raging.
