scheduled to take place on Friday
evening, May 80.
Seeding in this vicinity is COM
pleted and the conditions are prom
Using for a good crop. Following
the warm weather of the early
part of last week came several
DAYS of rain and cooler temporal
ture. The rain was very timely,
as the seed had just been put in
to the ground and moisture was
needed to make it terminate.
Grass is growing rapidly and the
trees are leaving out. Spring IS
here. :.
Fire broke out in the Central
House about 1890 Monday fore
noon. The department arrived
promptly and got to work without
delay. The fire started in the
kitchen and spread rapidly, burn
ing through into the second story
and over into the main part of the
building. BY prompt work on the
part of the fire boys the blaze was
soon brought under control. The
damage to the building and kitch-
en- furniture is in the neighbor-
hood of $500 to $500. The build
ling is owned by C.. d. Marshall
and fully insured. The leasee of
the building, E. Kulencamp, owns
the furniture, the loss on which is
covered by insurance. The build
ing is one of the oldtst structures in
town, built entirely of wood and
had the fire got a good start the
chances would have been good for
the fire spreading to other build
ings, as the wind was in the east
at the time. The east end of the
building has stood on the corner for
some forty years, the western end
having been added later. The
structure is all as dry as finder ano
an ideal place for big fire. The
department deserves great credit
for stopping the fire so promptly
and well. Few towns in the state
have better fire department thar
has Sank Centre.
