ANOTHER NEAR FIRE

A defective fue ignited the beaver
board in the west room Of the barber
shop Wednesday night and quite a
patch was burned, but the snow tha,
had. drifted in between the beaver
, board evidently extnguished the
blaze btfore it got under goodwav,
The funny thing about this fire was
that Mr.. Wilmoth knew nothing of il
sntil Thursday morning when he
went to the shop to-build fire. 1t
was lucky ESCAPE. Had this fire
gotten uuder good headwav, and the
barber shop burned, it would probably
have wiped out the greater portion of

would be a good thing to examine
your tues, and see that they are ALSO
lutely safe, and use every precaution
to prevent fire these cold, windy
