4 very disastrous fire occurred on
Saturday afternoon shortly after 3'oo
o'clock. the residence of Ross Adams
On Lincoln street burning to the
ground. The origin Of the fire is un-
known. No one was at home when
the fire broke out, Mrs. Adams and
one of the daughters having gone
across the way to a neighbor's, when,
after sitting a few moments, I'll"
smoke and flames were discovered
coming from the house. The alarm
was given and responded TO promptly,
hut it was impossible to save any
thing. Mrs. Maxon's house on the
right of the Adams home, and a barn
or livery stable belonging to ID. w.
Waldron on the left, caught on fire.
The stable was badly burned on one
side. and it was only through the most
strenuous efforts on the part of those
fighting the flames that the fire did
not spread to a number of houses in
in the immediate vicinity. Daytona
responded promptly to Ormond's tele
phone call by sending two auto loads
Of men to help out. Manager Tru
deau of Hotel Ormond greatly as
sisted by sending a dozen men with
a foreman in charge; also sending a
large number of fire extinguishers
az did also Mr.. A. VI. Lindsay, these

iacent buildings. Special mention

should be made of .IisS Dorothy Rob-
bins, who drove her auto over tle
bridge to the hotel and again to Mr..
i.indsay's, bringing each time load
of fire extinguishcrs, making the rapid
trips and handling her car with
GOODNESS commended by all who saw
her.
The Adams family was taken care
of that night and over Sunday at the
homes Of Frederick CARMEL and
other neighbors, and are now in
cottage offered by William Burr
where they will remain temporarily,
or until their home can be erected,
which, it is thought, will be within
very short time. The work on this
will be most generously donated ny
carpenters, painters, masonS, etc,
while the neighbors and friends are
all responding most literally to the
call for subscriptions, etc. Gail Bor-
den. George II. Sage and James Car
nell have the matter Of the subscrip-
,ions and funds collected in charge.
The guests at Breton Inn made up
contribution among themselves, Civ
ing about $1,000 towards the fund for
relief
Mr.. Adams and his family are very
grateful for all that has been done
and is being done for them because
of this unlooked-for calamity, and
wish, through the medium OF the
press, to thank everybody for their
assistance. The neighbors in the i'm
mediate vicinity also wish to express
their appreciation for the efforts made
in saving their buildings and homes.
A manufacturers association has
recently been organized in our village
sehooi, with tAe following 0iiccrs'
President, Mrs. ID. w. Waldron; vice
president, II. l.. Johns; secretary,
Miss Lillian Seabloom. 1t is hoped
that through this organization closer
relation between parents and teach
ers may be effected. There are no ar
duous duties for any, and no dues;
so it is hoped that every parent Will
feel free to become affiliated with the
association and thus manifest interest
in the work of the school. One meet
ing will be held each month. The
next meeting will be held on Friday
