Had Narrow Escape.

Mrs. B. K. Graves of Waterford
is feeling very thankful that she
consented to go to ride with her
husband one evening last week. He
gave her an invitation to go with
him and she hesitated as there was
some sewing she wished to do. She
finally decided to go and when they
reached home they found a rife
bullet embedded in the casing of a
door between their parlors. Fur
Their examination showed that it
came into the house through a win
dow casing and glancing, struck the
door. Had Mrs. Graves been there
sewing as she planned her head
would have been exactly in the line
taken by the bullet. It was learned
that the bullet was fired by young
man named Cole who was home on
furlough from the regular army.
He settled for the damage done to
the woodwork of the house.

FARM BUILDINGS BURNED.
Two Barns, House and Hay Lost On
the William McCrae Farm Saturday.

Fire was discovered bursting out
from the roof of barn recently
filed with hay on the William Nc
Crae farm in the Spaulding neigh
borhood last Saturday about noon.
No one had been in the barn for
four days and the fire was discov-
cred about 1 5 minutes after William
G. McCrae, who carries on the farm
for his mother, and his men had
started home for dinner. They
were cutting hay to put in the other
barn at the time and left their
clothes with watches in them in the
shed of the house. The fire was
where it could not be reached by the
neighbors who gathered to help and
the two barns and the house were a
total loss. A part of last years hay
and nearly all of this years hay
crop were burned and the men S
clothes and watches lost. The only
explanation of the cause of the fire
is spontaneous combustion in the
hay that was curing in the barn.

speaking of her. She made acquain-
tances readily and one could not be
long with her without approaching
her keen sense of humor and ready
wit
Aside from the serious heart

friends turned naturally for advice
and help.
For a period of so years her life
was interviewer with the lives of the
Chadwick household and she was to
