origin of the fire is not certainly known
but it is thought that spark from thu
kitchen chimney fell upon the stable
roof and burned its way through to The
hay NOW, which was all on fire when dis
covered. 1t was with great difficulty
that Mr.. Andrews got out his horses, thu
hay loft falling in about the time he got
them through the door. Other contents
of the stable, including harnesses and
pig, were destroyed. Some of the house
hold goods on the ground floor wer'
saved in damaged condition and Mr.
and Mrs. Andrews and Albion Andrews
who was boarding with them, lost al
their clothing except what they wer
wearing at the time. The entire los
will approach thousand dollars will
only three hundred dollars insurance
Mr.. and Mrs. Andrews had purchases
this home with the earnings of industr
and frugality and the sympathy of tn
community is attested by generou
Subscription for their aid raised i'm
mediately after the fire.
We wish to express our sincere thank
TO those through whose efforts our HON
was saved from destruction by fire.
