What might have been very serious fire
was narrowly averted on Tuesday. The
shirt factory which is closely surrounded
by the M. E. Church, Downs sash mill,

a number of other buildings quite close,
was discovered to be on fire. The high
wind made it much more dangerous. The
quick work of help which was close at
hand, extinguished the fire before much
damage had been done.
