The residence and cottage-oc-
cupied by Hon. w. S. Hill and
family and Mrs. Guthrie Tur-
ner and family respectively
were destroyed by fire in North
Greenwood last Sunday morning
at about 8 o'clock.
By active and vigorous work on

people who arrived early at the
scene of the conflagration, prac-
tically all of the house furnishings
were gotten out and saved from
destruction by the flames. The
houses belonged to Mrs. Turner
and were partly covered by insur-
ance. e
The Fire Department arrived
promptly with their chemical fire
extinquisher and by hardwork sue
ceeded in preventing the adjacent
residences from catching anC
burning up. It is really a won
der how such splendid worl
could be accomplished under sucf
adverse circumstances.
