Princeton, Feb. 11—Mr. David Best had the misfortune to have his barn with all his crop of corn and feed burned last Saturday. There were several bales of cotton in the barn, all of which were destroyed. Mr. Best is one of the oldest farmers in this section, and only last year he lost nearly $2,000 by the failure of the bank. It is thought the barn was burned by the careless handling of matches by some children.
