House insured, but the barn was not.
The block burned was of marble and the
oldest in that town.

Two four horse loads of Good Tenn

since, there were three of these lodges
in that town and each did a good work
in the cause of t mp rance. We could
never see any good reason why these
lodges surrendered their charters, but
such was the fact.
