dren in their frame house and went to
work in the field of a neighboring
farm Two babies, aged eight and

years, was toddling about the floor.
The mother had thoughtlessly left
matches on a chair beside her bed.
The little one evidently got hold of
them and set fire to the bedding. The
wife of Rev. William Mumford, rector
of the church, saw the flames and sent
her servants to the rescue. They burst

crib was in flames and the two babies
were literally roasted alive. At the

to deposit it in the banks, but bought

they will have money to pay any pos

rectors of the insurance company WISE

the government small fee and run no

1t is pity that our infamous bank

this, vet as the true situation becomes
better understood there will be more
and more of the idle money of the
