THE KIMBALLT0N
SCH0OLHOUSE BURNS
The Building Was Totally Destroyed
By Fire After School Closed
Wednesday Evening

Word came by telephone early We'd
nesday evening that the Kim
ballton schoolhouse had been totally
destroyed by fire. AS near as we can
learn this morning the school had closed
and the pupils had gone to their homes,
but the two lady teachers were still in
the building when a fire was noticed
issuing from the roof probably catching
from the chimney An alarm was given
and the neighbors hurried in and by
hard work succeeded in removing the
books, the organ and the furniture, but
nothing could he done toward saving
the building The schOOlhouse consist
ing of two rooms was located on the hill
about mile south of town and the
teachers We're two ladies from Atlantic.
Just what the school board will conclude
to do we have not learned but the school
election is near at hand and they can
submit the matter TO a vote of the
electors in the district. The probabili-
ties are that the town will insist upon
having the new building located within
the corporation.
