The fatal fire in Waynesville in
which three ])ersons lost their
lives should be a warning to oth
ers. It seems that the fire oi-igi-
nated from a lamp being over
turned by a drunken man. The
result was that he and two oth-,
ers were bui-ned to death. We j
have read about jjeople being I
burned up in large hotels a long |
way from home and we always |
thought that such things would |
be impossible here in any of our j
dwelling houses, but it seems as
if it can hap[)en. It behoov’^es us
to l>e very careful with fire at all
times and the careless handling
of matches is a frequent cause of
conflagrations. A person can
burn to death and still be on the
