RETURNED FROM FIELD !;
HOME IN ASHES.

The country residence of Mrs.
Minnie Brown, about three miles
out and opposite Graves school
house, was totally destroyed by
fire Thursday afternoon about )
o'clock, together with the con
tents and a smoke house.
1t is not known how the fire
started. Mrs. Brown and chill
dren were in the field, and knew
nothing of their loss until their
return. The fire was discovered
by Will Anderson. IL had gain
ed such headway that he was un-
able to get out anything except
trunk and some bed clothes.
The residence contained four
or five rooms. Mrs. Brown car
ried no insurance and suffered
total loss of $1,000 to 81, 500.
A pathetic scene ensued when
Mrs. Brown and her children re-
turned and found their home and
its furnishings a pile of ashes and
smoldering embers. Their plight
was pitiful indeed, in view of the
fact that Mrs. Brown is widow
with several small children and
they were left without even a
change of clothes.

COUNCIL WANTS PRICES
ON FIRE ENGINE.

Our city fathers have reached
the conclusion that Hickman
needs more adequate fire fight
ing system.
After seeing demonstration
of the auto fire truck in Fulton,
together with IA recommendation
from the fire insurance companies
AS to its value, our council has
taken up the matter of purchas-
ing one for this city.
A committee, composed of DR.
j. NJ. Hubbard, j. c. Ellison and
Bruce Powell, was appointed TO
get prices and other data on ma
chimes that would best answer
the purpose of Hickman 5 needs.
AS soon as this committee makes
its report, the city fathers ex-
pect to take some definite action.
A good fire truck will cost
from 5000 to $1,000, and will
have to be paid for with small
bond issue. But, considering the
fact we are facing a big advance
in insurance rates without this e.
qulpment, it would certainly be
economy from the start-first, in
saving insurance; second, in the
protection afforded in the future.

RUSH ORDERS PREVENT
PLANT SHUTTING DOWN.

II was the intention of the
Mengel Box Co. TO shut down the
Hickman plant this week for
repairs and their annual over
hauling, hut the arrival of rush
orders for a large quantity of
their product makes it necessary
that they keep the plant going to
IFS full capacity for at least two
weeks yet. When these orders
have been taken care of the plant
will then close down for a week.
IL will probably be the last of
the month before the company
will get to make the overhauling
set for this week.
