Lantern, May 6: Last Tuesday
night, Mr.. Thos Boulware and family,
of Crosbyville, were aroused from sleep
to find their house in flames and rush
out to save their lives, but they saved
hardly anything else, and they had no
insurance. They think the fire origi-
mated about the kitchen stove. Mr..
Boulware is an Industrious farmer and
was making a successful fight for
living for his family. Much sympathy
is felt for them and 1t has been ex-
pressed to some extent in a substantial
way. Mr.. and Mrs. Boulware have five
children, we believe, and the youngest
one was only nine days old. They are
at present at the home of Mr.. W. w.
Crosby, the father Of Mrs. Boulware.
