The Banner has heretofore failed
10 mention that the election held in
the Fairview School District recent

Fire which proved very disastrous
fn Mrs a. RI John f1n, occurred
last Friday morning when her own
D nae ard rented house were Dc.
strovod by fire. Nothing much was
roved except the piano and the house
hold goods o. Mr. Klein who is moi
here 70 this time Her daughter
Miss Bessie was barely able 20 make
her escape by jumping from the sec.
ond story window. And luckily she
was not injured. The property wa
partially insured. This is another
solemn and impressive warning y
our people that fire protection Is alb
solutely necessary. Protection from
fire loss now stands out as one Of our
chief necessities, and a need that ma,
result in thousands Of dollars worth
Of loss at any time. The destructive
hand Of fire may be laid upon our
residence OF business property AZ any
moment-and then we viii see wha
we have missed by being unable e
give the fire demon battle. Every
thing we now have stands at tn
mercy Of the flames. and there is NJ
protection Are we willing that con
! ditions should continue 20 exist thh
way.
