A few minutes after eleven O'Clock
last Friday night some people on their
way home from the social on the M.
E. Church lawn discovered a fire in
the house of Mrs. F. M. Davis on the
corner of Shepherd and Reynolds
streets. They forced an entrance
and found that a lamp had exploded.
The flames were extinguished before
great damage resulted and even be-
fore the occupants of the house knew
of the fire. The alarm was most time
ly. Had it been delayed just a few
minutes the building would certainly
have been doomed.
