Two Fires Tuesday.

Tuesday was a busy day for the fire
boys and al exciting n for the citi-
zen of our little town. About half past
seven in the morning an alarm was
sounded for a blaze at Godchaux e
Cos store caused by the fall of a large
hanging lamp in the postofice. The
oil caught fire and ran over the floor
and on the side wall which was soon in
a blaze between the ceiling and wealth
er boarding. Deputy postmaster, Ly-
mar C. Lyons, succeeded in saving all
the mail matter. Mr.. Broussard, mi
of the firm, had sufficient presence Of
mind to empty a barrel of flour upon
the flames and extinguished them.
The firemen soon ripped off the wealth
erboarding and the bucket brigade
put out the fire which had badly CHAIR
ed the ceiling. The damage amounts
to about $25.
About 1920 a.. m. another alarm
was turned in for burning cotton at Lee
blanc Bros. gin. 1t originated as it
did the other day in the gin stand and
was extinguished without any consider
able loss. Loose matches in the seed
cotton are supposed to be responsible
for the fire.
