Flames.

On Friday November 14th The
residence owned and occupied
by Y. A. Garrett and family
and situated about a mile east
Of town, was burned. The
cause of the fire is not known
but it is the general supposition
that it caught from the aue
while Mrs. Garrett was prepar.
ing dinner. The building and
furniture therein was insured
to the amount of 100000,
which amount, if secured, would
not build lack the house, minus
the furniture and fixtures. The
house was constructed by Mr..
Garrett himself, and only the
very best of lumber was used.
1t was a two story building an d
contained eight rooms and two
halls. The cistern house close
by was also burned.
There was no one at home on
the evening that the house burn
ed down, The older children
we're at school at Oak Grove and
the younger children were with
their parents, who had gone TO
take letter to d feeble old man
who lived in the mountains The
etter was addressed in care of

When they returned the house
