Mrs. Stella Smiths buildings were dis
covered to be on fire about 6 p. m, last |

a time it was thought that Mr.. Phillips

but a small insurance.

1 wish to acknowledge my Indebtedness,
and to thank all those who worked so
faithfully in saving any household goods
from being destroyed by fire when my
house was burned last Monday, and al
though but part were saved, all possibly
efforts were made and nothing was left un
done that it was possible to do.
