Crayne, KY, burned Friday
afternoon at 3 o'clock. 1t caught
from a flue and was past saving
when discovered. The family
saved most OF their clothing and
household and kitchen furniture

$4,000 which only partially
covered the loss. The house was
a substantial old land mark and
was built before the war and was
occupied for many years by the
late John Hawkins during the
time when he was a mail con-
tractor. Mrs. NJ. NJ. Wilson of
this city spent her eirlhood there
