FIRE AT MILO
FRANCIS STAPLES LOSES EVERY.
THING BY FIRE-FAMlLY
BARElL ESCAPE.

Francis Staples, a farmer living on
the j. w. Johnson place at Milo, met
with misfortune Wednesday night,
and lost his home together with all
the wearing apparel of his family,
by fire.
Mr. Staples was fortunate enough
to save his own and his wife and ba-
by's life, but no clothing. In rescuing
his wife and four days old baby from
the flames Mr.. Staples was badly
burned about the hands. The cause
of the fire was a defective chimney.
Neither Mr.. Johnson, the owner of
the house, nor Mr.. Staples carried
any insurance. The building was a
four room box house and was valued
at about $500 The loss to Mr.. Sta
pies is estimated TO be about $400
The fire occurred about o'clock
at night and although the neighbors
were called in and worked with
might and main, it was without effect
the fire having gotten too far under
hoadway.
j. w. Johnson and w. a. Taliafer
TO came to town late yesterday af
| ternoon to secure assistance for the
poor man, who was so unfortunate
as TO lose everything that he had by
| fire.
The house will be rebuilt by Mr.
| Johnson.

THE LEMON BOX |


The following is told on a fair
clerk at the Bee Hive. She had made
purchase at Bal & Co store of
goods not obtainable at her place of
employment. 1t seems that the ar
ticle purchased was for Christmas
present. Anyway, the young lady
carried it home where after delibera-
ton she changed her mind and de-
cided to exchange it for something
else. She carried the package to
work with her and placed it on a
table in the rear of the room, intend
ing to exchange it that evening At
that time she rushed out hurriedly,
selling her package on the way out.
Arriving at Ball & Co.'S store she ex-
planned her desire to exchange the ar
ticle. Forthwith the clerk proceeded
to unite the returned parcel,-and
horrors, what was enclosed therein?
Not her intended Christmas gift, but
instead, a pair of gentleman's trous-
ers all nicely pressed, and looking
as if they had just come from the
talors. 1t developed that they didn't
deceive their looks any, .or they
