Our community was saddened last We'd
nesday noon to learn of the death of Mrs.
Nellie, wife of Frank @. Williams, and
only child of Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel Bur-
bank. Mrs. Williams had been sick only
few days. She was known throughout
the county az fine singer and musician
and to say that she will be missed does
not express it. In the home she was a
good wife and an indulgent mother. Not
only her husband and four children have
sustained a great loss, but her aged father
and mother have the sympathy of all. The
funeral was held on Friday, large num-
Der being present. Rev. j. G. Langford
officiated.
Last Friday evening about ten o'clock
the barns belonging to Curtis Ware were
discovered to be on fire. Two barns, tool
and hen house were burned to the ground
with all their contents, including a new
separator and sheep power. The large barn
was built few years ago and was nice
one. IF 1t had not been for the favorable
condition of the wind and prompt meas
ures the house would have been burned
This is a great loss to Mr.. Ware, just as
his hay is ready to harvest. The fire was
the work of an incendiary; his tracks
were plainly to be seen from the barn
across the plowed ground to Mr.. Wares
sugar place. The loss is partly covered by
insurance.
