The home of Mrs. A. P Fry
in West Rockingham was de-
|stroyed by fire Monday night
around 2 o'clock. Occupying the
house with Mrs. Fry were MIR.
and Mrs. L. A. Lisk and child.
The house was of one-story, of
four rooms. The first intimation
of danger was the awakening of
Mrs. Fry by the cracking Of the
flames overhead. The family
rushed out and only a bed or two
and a few articles were saved.
The alarm was given and the
towns La France truck respond
ed. Arriving in West Rocking
ham it was found that the near
est hydrant was too far away
(the fire was without the town
Ilimits,) and SO the truck hurried
back to the fire station and Sc
cured hose in addition to the
1000 feet it carried. Connection
was made with the creek below
Great Falls, and the engine soon
was pumping a strong stream.
However, the house had been
practically consumed. A new
store building nearby came peri
lously near lgniting, but was
saved. $1,000 0insurance had been
taken out on the house just two
weeks ago, and $500 on the furni-
ture.
Some time ago the Lisksmoved
out of their house a hundred
yards or so from the Fry house,
and move into the Fry home.
The rented their larger house to
Jim Garrett, but retained the
store underneath the house.
About two months ago the house
caught fire and was burned to.
|gether with the small store con-
tanning some $500.worth of gro.
ceries. Mr.. Garrett collected
$3.50 insurance from his furniture,
but the Lisks had none on their
house or stock of goods. And so
when r. R. Simmons called on
them two weeks ago and sug-
lgested their taking insurance on
the Fry home, they didso, to ex-
tent of $1,000 on the house and
$500 on the furniture. Hard luck
seems to follow them.

JOB WORK A SPECIALITY

We can not go back to ten
years ago and do the things we
should have done then.
If each property owner had
planted a profusion of trees, and
shrubbery, and roses and various
kinds of plant life ten years ago,
Rockingham would now be a
bower of beauty, a verltabie gar
den of Eden.
But the majority did not, and
we are not enjoying the delights
of a beauty spot of nature.
Since time will not wait for us
it behooves us to keep up with
time.
This spring is the time to be-
gin the cultivation of that beauty
which we would all enjoy in the
decline of life.
Age comes to us all, but it can
be made more attractive by Ethe
exercise of forethought and the
expenditure of a little Senergy
while we are still enjoying the
heritage of comparative youth.
