Fire-small Yield of Wheat Sickness, Etc.
Correspondence of The Free Lance }
Dogue, Va. July II.
The old dwelling at "Grantswood, "
situated near here and owned by Mr..
William Rollins, was totally destroyed
by fire shortly after noon on last Sun
day. together with all Of the outbuild-
ings, consisting of kitchen, smoke
house, carriage house and several hen
houses. The fire originated in the
kitchen, and although help arrived
quickly it was too far advanced to be
able to save anything but the new
dwelling, which was done with the
greatest difficulty. Mr.. Rollins is one
of the largest property owners in the
county and carries large insurance,
but on this there was no insurance.
The farmers have about finished thresh-
ing wheat, and while the yield is COM
paratively small it is as good as could
be expected on account Of the late seed
ing.
A party Of old men and old women,
lads and lassies from this neighborhood
went to ''Fooks. on the Potomac, last
Wednesday and spent the day in fish
ing, grabbing and bathing.
With the exception Of few cases Of
mumps, our neighborhood is in an un-
usually healthy condition. Miss Bette
Rollins is just recovering from spell
OF this much dreaded disease.
