FIRE ALARM.

A fire alarm was turned in Satur,
day morning from the 0. c. ClarR
house on Liberty street which IS oc'
cupied by Ernest Garlick. The origin
Of the fire was from an overheateso
furnace. The. furnace had recently
been installed by an out-of-town com
pany, and owing to the pipes leading
from the furnace not being thorough!
covered with asbestos paper, the over
heated pipes set fire to the floor and
woodwork. Not much damage was
done except from water and the burn
ing of the wood work around the reg,
isters from the furnace.

lndiantoWn Prize Contest.

Indiantown, September 9:-The
prize contest held at Indiantown
school-house September 6 was quite
a success. There were only a few
specimens of wood and cooking, but
great things from small beginnings
grow" The boards of the little
boys, the sewing of the little girls
and the rolls by the young ladies
showed effort. and that is what
counts. There were about sixty peo-
pie present and the voting was live
ly and interesting. The voting was
done by the number on the sealed
envelope whicssTontained the own
er's name. Rev F H Wardlaw an
nounced the result of the votes and
awarded the prizes, as follows: A
silver thimble to Virginia Wilson
for the best sample of hemming; a
knife to William Cooper for the best
planed board; a silver thimble to
Miss Emma Cooper for the best pan
of rolls.
The Mothers club of Indiantown,
which got up and conducted the con-
test, hopes to have one of the kind
each year. They have, during the
summer, organized a sewing club, a
carpenter club and cooking club,
but not as much was done this year
as they hope to do next, for these
were organized as permanent sum-
mer clubs.
