He had $500 insurance on the build
ing.
Mrs. Kate Kernaghan received a
telegram Saturday stating that her
son, Earl Kernaghan, who is attend
ing the officers training school at
Waco, Texas, has pneumonia. How
ever, each day since the first tele-
gram was received a message has
come from the attending physician
stating that he is steadily growing
better.
The residence of Mr.. A. E. Pad
gett had narrow escape from de-
struction by fire about noon Satur-
day. While dinner was being pre-
pared, the roof of the stove-foonr
caught fire and the flames made con-
siderable headway before it was ex-
tinguished. A large number of peo-
pie responded to the alarm and the
fire Was soon checked.
