BAD FIRE NEAR WARWICK

Early Friday morning, shortly before
two o'clock, fire broke out on the
farm of Mrs. Mary Shallcross, near
Warwick, destroying the barn and part
of the wagon shed.
The tenant, Mr.. Price King, lost a
quantity of farming implements and
some stock and unfortunately had no
insurance Mrs. ShalIcross was fully
insured.
The Middletown Chemical engine was
rushed there at furious pace towed
by Mr.. Brady's truck, but the fire had
done its work before the coming Of the
new engine.
This unfortunate event. wherein for
want of adequate fire insurance, one of
our farmers suffers a needless loss, is
an illustration of the want of business
foresight which is too common among
farmers.
Only few weeks ago another farmer
Mr.. Samuel Austin, in Pencader met
with a severe loss from fire with only
partial insurance.
It costs but a triae to make the grain,
stock and implements of the hard work.

do they thus neglect it, and suffer these.
heavy losses! Go see Miss Eugenia
Beasten, all you farmers, and then you
will sleep better, and certainly your
stock, buildings and grain, will be safe,
and your credit just so far lacked up at
the bank and elsewhere
