Our citizens were alarmed at the
noon hour on Saturday by the cry Of
fire, when Henry Fosters shoe shop
was discovered to be burning on the
roof. BY efficient work on the part of
the neighbOrs and citizens, the town
fire apparatus was rushed to the
scene, which was supplemented by
the large hose from Counselman's
cannery. and in a short time the
flames were extinguished. The eX-
citement was intense for a few min
utes as a good breeze was blowing
and that part of the town is the most
thickly settled. A call was sent in
to Milford for help and the fire fight
ers were all in readiness to respond,
when the fire was gotten under con-
troll. The origin is unknown but some
are of the opinion that sparks from a
tractor engine passing through town
fell on the shingle roof and ignited it.
1t was one story building.
A very delightful social was held
after the prayer service on Thursday
| evening of last week by invitation of
/ the pastor. Lollis Queen of Philadel-
phia sang several beautiful songs, ac-
/ companied by Mrs. L. L. Carlisle on
the piano. Miss Sallie Sharp and Miss
Dorothy Mitten gave several delight !
full readings. after which Rev. and
Mrs. Sharp served the audience with
ice cream. 1t was a very pleasant af- I
fair.
