Country Time at ShelIpot Park.

Members OF the Kiwanis Club with
their wives and sweethearts had a
most enjoyable dance last night at
Shellpot Park, when under the direc-
ton Of a special entertainment COM
mittee. a masked dance was given.
Members and their guests came at
tired in country clothing and until IL
o'clock every one was masked. But the
dancing continued after that and
somewhat more 10 the comfort OF
some of the guests.
A feuture of the affair was the dec
orations. These were of more elab-
orate character than at most func-
tions. and because nature was depend
ed upon in the way OF cornstalks and
other products OF the farm, made this
feature the more attractive. About
three-hundred were present.

up to the buggy in which his wife
was travelling, it is alleged that Smith

about 9 o'clock Wednesday night,

truik also going UP in the flames. The
livestock was rescued
The alarm of fire wa sgiven by Mrs.
Thos. G.. Bolt from the home nearby

The high school foot-hall squad, which
was receiving lecture from Mr.. Bolt,
football coach, rushed to the barn
and under the direction Of Mr.. Bolt
and Chief Of Police Crews, who ap-
peared on the scene about the same
time, succeeded in getting all Of the
animals out OF the building, but had
to leaye the garbage truck and other
smaller material behind.
The fire department appeared
promptly on the scene, but the fire
had spread so rapidly that it could
do nothing more than prevent the
spread of the blaze to surrounding
buildings, several Of which were Of a
very inflamable nature.
The building was erected several
years ago and was of frame and cor
rugated iron construction. While the
iron plates still remain standing, the

the smouldering flames burst forth,
damaging the entire load of cotton.
All OF the injured persons were
said to be out of danger tonight, al
though maintaining vivid rccollections
Of their experience.
