A Caution Repea ted.

A fine residence was burned at
Clarksville last week. 1t took
fire from some ashes that had been
deposited in a wood box in the
kitchen. We again call the atten-
ton of housewives to the very
dangerous practice of allowing
ashes to be left in a wood box in
or about the house. Follow up
the servants and see that the ash.
es are always emptied out in a
safe place.
