Naldosta Times: Last Wednesday morn
ing about , O'clock Mrs. x. Reed was
awakened by an unusual cracking and
popping noise. Mr.. Reed was quickly
aroused and to their establishment they
found their kitchen on fire. The weather
boarding had burned off and the flames
were making rapid Roadway on the in
side ceiling. Mr.. Reed did not lose any
time, but ran TO the bath room, just across
the hall, and turned on the water and
went to work manfully. w. T. Lane, his
next door neighbor was summoned to his
assistance, and by their heroic efforts the
flames were soon subdued. Had it been
five minutes later when it was discovered
the fire would have been beyond control

most disastrous fire, for not only would
Mr.. Reeds residence have burned, but
1t is hardly possible that those of David
Thomas and w. T. Lane. which are in
close proximity, would have been saved.
