full slumber and it was soon learned

of Mr.. and Mrs. James Beard. Prompt
action on the scene helped to save the
building in part and most of the house
hold goods. The kitchen and contents
all burned, but most everything in the
main part of the building was saved.
Our firemen did good work in re-
spending with hose cart and engine, as
the road was almost impossible to nav
igate for the mud. Mr.. Beard was not
carrying any insurance and the citizens
made up a purse TO help him repair
his home.
