The grocery conducted by Joe
Mitchell at No. on the. outskirts OF
Rockvale. was destroyed by fire early
Sunday morning. The cause of the
fire is unknown Though the FIRE de-
partment made brave effort TO save
the building they were handicapped
by the fact Of the water being turned
on in the mains in that section OF the
town at night and lost considerable
time before the water could be turned
on When it was realized the grocery
was doomed the hremen directed their
attention to the adjoining building
which they saved.
The burned building was owned by
Thomas Orecchio, of Florence and in
sured by Thomas carmody. also Of
that city. The insurance. II any. car
