Auntie Cathcart, as we all call ed her, was the same cheerful, frank and lovable person, no matter under what r:"mstances she was placed. She filled the office of mother to many mother. less boys and girls, and her coun- cil was always given in such a loving way, that it was sure to be followed.

Residence of J. s. Kelly
 Destroyed By Fire

Last Wednesday evening a. bout 6 D. m, the home of J.S. Kelley was completely destroyed by fire. MT. Kelley had placed a tub of water on the oil stove in the kitchen for the purpose of taking a bath. He returned to the front of the house and after an elapse of only a few minutes he heard what sounded like an explosion, and on opening the door discovered the room in flame. The fire advanced so rapidly he barely had time to escape. Mrs. Kelley was away from home at Che time. They had some insur- ance on both furniture and house. As there was no breeze it was not so hard to keep the fire from spreading to the residences on either side.
