HOW|NCTON HOME
POWDER SPRINGS,
VICTIM OF FIRE
BY Correspondent


A disastrous fire occurred in Pow
der Springs last Sunday as the peoo-
pie of the little city were on their
way to church, which resulted in the
comnlete detruction of the residence
Of MIR. R. r. Howington. Altho every
one from both Sunday Schools of the
place together with those on their
Wav to church turned out to lend a
a hand the fire had gained such
headway from the INSIDE that all
efforts tocheck it were useless.
On}v splendid work on the part OF
the volunteers saved the roofs OF the
adjoining houses from catching fire
and only the fact that no wind was
stirring saved the fire from SPREADING
Most of the furniture was saved
and it is said that the building was
partly protected by insurance.
The origin Of the fire is not known
Ior certain but it is supposed to
nave started in the ceiling from a de-
lective chimney.

AS she was driving home a COW
and young calf Just bought by her
father, and in company with a small
brother and little cousin, Tuesday af-
ternoon about 5:30-the occasion of
her tenth birthday, Little Edna Dun
can, daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. Leo
Duncan, who live on the w. P. Jiles'
farm, one mile north of Kennesaw,
was run over and instantly killed by
an unknown party in a powerful car
running at high speed. AS the body of
the little girl was struck down be-
meath the car it is stated that the driv-
er did not even slow down his speed
to ascertain what damage he may
have committed.
It is said that little Edna had driv-
en- the COW and calf, accompanied as
above related, thru the main street
of Kennesaw. The party had reach
ed the old mill building to the north
of the town, when the car sped in
sight. Edna. in the endeavor to get
the calf to the side of the road and
out of all danger was struck by the
car, which upon the best evidence
that can be obtained was travelling
at a speed of more than 40 miles an
hour.
The saddest part of the occurrence
was the fact that at the time of the
accident, neither of the child's parents
were at home. The father was away
in Canton and the mother on a visit
to relatives near Marietta. Her grand
mother, Mrs. Bradshaw, and an aunt
were staying with the children in the
absence of the parents. The little
brother phoned the news to the par
ents who rushed to the scene as
quickly as possible.
A doctor was summoned but care
full examination showed that death
had been almost instantaneous. This
examination also showed that death
had resulted from a broken back,
probably the result of a blow from
the bumpers, and internal injuries.
The indications were that neither of
the wheels of the car passed over the
body.
Collins and Sons Undertakes, of
Acworth, took charge of the body
and funeral and interment occurred at
the Bascom Church and cemetery
Thursday morning, large crowd at
tending.
Edna had only been living in Ken
nesaw for the past two years but her
winsome, sweet disposition won her
a host of friends, who deeply mourn
the tradegy and untimely death.
She is survived by her parents and
two brothers.
