Farm House Burned.

The farm house belonging to Mr.
Skeem, some four miles south east OF
this place, was totally destroyed by fire
yesterday Sunday forenoon. The
house was occupied by Mr.. Andrew
Eggleston. who lost nearly all his
household goods. The fire Is supposed
to have originated in the kitchen roof
where the stove pipe passed through
the ceiling, and although the family
were at home the fire was not discOy
cred until the flames were bursting
through the roof and the ceilings we're
ready to fall in. After the flames burn
ed through tie shingles the high winds
famed them into fury which no eff.
forts could stop. Mr.. Eggleston sue
ceeded i'll saving a few bed clothes. but
everything else was consumed. the
smoke and flames preventing entrance
to several rooms. We have not learn
I'd the value Of the property destroyed
or whether there was any insurance.
