MT Smith was posting his book when the lamp exploded, scattering oil over him and over his desk and paper, igniting all. MT Smith seized the lamp and started toward the door with it, and seiZing pail of water, threw it upon the blazing mass. By this time the fire alarm had spread and others came to the aid and the fire was eXtinguish- ed. The fire destroyed some letters and papers on the desk and also burned 2 number of pages out of the day book, which lay open on the desk, and injured MT Smiths clothing as we'll. The loss, outside of the ScOrching of the books, was slight. It was satis- factorily adjusted on the following morning by I. k. Fenton, of X. A. | McNeil SS Go. of Lime Rock.

look like an Oskaloosa boy, Rev. Cliff

the much mooted question of a un-

The history of the many plans for
the consolidation of Christendom that
have failed would make book or

Beverly Hills and Longwood. The
church is called st. Paul's. and it has
had ten years of successful, independ-
ent existence.
In an interview published in the
Church Federation, Rev. Snowden is
quoted as saying:
"The union church idea has been a
success in this community, largely, !
