King, June 30—We had one of the most destructive fires ever known on the Sauratown mountain last week. The fire raged for nearly two weeks in full blast, and di not cease until the much-needed showers came last week. A lot of timber was completely ruined. By the aid of 150 men, the fire was kept from the flat lands near the mountain.
