We dug our potatoes this week

two days and half to plow and

fertilized, the fertilizer costing US
$4.65 and the work all told five
dollars and six bits. We are

A four months old infant Of
Mr.. and Mrs. Dave Hall was
burned to death at the Pearl Riv-
er Lumber Company's camps, one
and one-half miles west of this
place, Sunday about noon. The
child was left asleep in one of the
camp shacks and the mother was
said to have been eating dinner in
the rear one (three shacks consti-
tute a "residence'0. No one else
seems to have been in the imme-
diate neighborhood. At any rate,
sparks from a passing locomotive
set fire to the front shack and be-
fore it was discovered it was too
far consumed to admit rescue of
the child. The other two shacks
we're quickly consumed and had
the wind been blowing from any
other direction there would have
been a general confagration. The
parents of the child have the SYM
pathy of the people of the commu-
nifty, and of all others who hear
about the narrowing event, in
their great trouble.
