coolest day of the season. The Their

Last Thursday morning about nine
or ten o'clock, the residence Of l. j.
Lister took fire. An alarm vas given
and a few neighbors came and in a
short time got the fire under control
before much damage was done. The
fire originated from a fireplace which
could not be used, and therefore was
papered over without any protection
between the paper and fireplace. The
SCOT took fire and fell against the pa
per and it went at a desperate rate. 1t
was first discovered by Mr.. Lister, who
was confined to his room by sickness.
He says he heard it start and it sound
ed like an automobile. People ought
to be very careful about fire and have
everything we'll protected.
