The cotton gin caught fire In
one of the stands Tuesday about
noon but was discovered before
the fire made much headway and
the flames extinguised before
much damage was done. The
only reason that has been given
is that there might have been
some matches dropped in the
cotton accidentally before it got
into the suction pipe and was ig
nited as soon as they struck the
saws. 1t is lucky indeed, that the
fire was no worse. it only took a

their lives was that in which the
grim reaper made his appear

sorrowing father. James Lapr,
and little sister Guinevere, s
