Wednesdays Fire.

On Wednesday aboutsnoon, the alarm of fire was given and in response the whole town and the dogs turned out. When we arrived at the scene of distraction, we noticed the cotton on the platform ablaze. which caughtfroma spark from passing freight train. The fire spread with rdpidity and only was the town saved by the labor of our citizens. Bales were rolled around in great shape and the bucket and salt brigade soon had fire under controle. The engine, that eau sed the fire, furnished water to extinguish the blaze.
 There were some fifty-four square bales burned and seven round bales. Many were damaged. Some are saying this may teach the road a lesson, but we believe the road is doing it's best to furnish cars andspo more can be expected. This fire should cause every man to think about his insuranceand remember Kramer writes fire insurance on country and town property. The town

with her lover without leave from her

cats scatter and fee, and, the better 10
