The fine home of DR.. Geo. L. Wat
kins, in north Pennington was Quilted
by fire last Friday, the alarm being
sounded soon after the noon hour.
The long distance TO the nearest ire
plug required practically all the hose
to lay single line, so that the fire.
fighters were handicapped in their eff
forts, though they put up a valiant
fight. Much furniture was destroyed,
and the building was. practically a to-
tai loss, though the insurance will re-
lieve the heaviness of the burden on
DR.. Watkins. He will probably soon
commence rebuilding.

best of his ability, he now respectfully
asks them to endorse the record he
has made by giving him an opportun-
ity to serve them for second term,
as has been the universal custom in
this county for many years. He wants
to assure all that their, support and
influence win be appreciated by him.
