that of last year, namely: Miss

Virginia Jones, second grade; Mrs.
Blanche Smith, third grade; Mrs.
Edith Moore, fourth grade; Mrs

A Story That "Was a Real
Yarn Raymond Mabrey, who
holds a position with r. W..
Slaughter, Clayton, had a scare
last Saturday after the cyclone
had passed. His wife was not at
home at the time, fact he knew
and the thought struck him that
he should go home and see if the
rain had beaten in and done any
damage. No one being at home
the screens were left in the win
dows. When he got there and op-
ened the hving-room door he saw
a fire on the floor which had start
ed with a ball of yarn and was
spreading. He fortunately arrived
in time to extinguish it for few
minutes later the fire would have
spread to the window draperies
and a confiagration could easily
nave taken place. Curious to see
what set fire to the ball of yarn, he
started an investigation. 1t seems
that the electric cord near the win
dow had become so soaked with
rain it became short circuited and
set fire to the ball Of yarn which
laid near by on the floor.
