Fires have been rather frequent
in the residence portion OF Frank.
lin in the last two weeks. The
dry weather and a spark from tn
chimney falling upon and igniting
the shingle roof has been the
cause IF the fire in each instance.
Last Monday morning Judge H.
D. Smiths large dwelling was
foud on fire and it was seriously
damaged. Before the fireme
could reach the scene the roof OF
the building was mass of flames.
In short time, however, the fire.
men succeeded in extinguishing
the flames, but'not until the water
had about ruined the plastering
and furniture in the house. The
house vas covered by insurance
for $4,000 aud the furniture for
$1,000 written by John G. Lewis &
Co., which we are glad to learn
will fully cover the damage.
