Soo "Clear the way" and the Hose and Reel company coupled up at the hydrant nearest to the point to which every body was about to race when a messenger came announcing that the flames were already subdued. The fire was found to have been at "Aunt" Sarah Moss' a colored widow womao, who lives on the corner of Crowell and West Cobin streets. A Mr. Roseman was passing and'observed rather an ominous smoko and called tne attention of Mr. Pink Miseuheimer, who quickly arrived to find the mau tie about half burned and part of the ceiliner aflame. He borrowed a bucket ot slop from a friendly neighbor and made himself mas ter of the situation at once. Thus the story is all told, but there was not a minute to sparo for saving the house. That Missionary Sale at Bear Creek. The Missonary sale at Bear Creek Reformed church last Saturday was an unusally happy and successful occasion. Rev. Mr. Murphy made an address in the morning. About 12 o'clock the sale began and it took till about sundown to sell all the produce brought in. The sale footed up the handsome sum of $107. This splendid scheme was started about 19 years ago and the first year it brought sonfe- thing of a gathering and- $8.00 proceeds. The interest has in creased with the years. Last y'ear the proceeds .were $1Q0 and as noted were $7.00 above the highwater mark of Bear Creek this'year. The plan is that every child who will receive from the pastor pr, superintendent of Sunday School a quart of cotton seeds and makes all out of it that the childUan. The cotton is brought in and sold on sale day. Var ious kinds of produce ate brought in beside cotton. Some take their missionary chickens and eggs to markel and barter for confections which they soli on that.day. It makes a genuinely enjoy able day and from the older ones down to mere tats there is an effuarion of the foreign mis sionary spirit. Total.. $190.00 Net loss!

The little boy in the back yard first saw it and gave the 'alarm Till members of the family reached the back door the flames were shooting out of the roof, The cow was turned out and the horse could have made his es cape,'but it is the peculiar defect of the horse instinct that ha does not trv to escape till it is too late.

H Blume asks us to say to firemen and citizens who came" and did all that could be done to save his property during the fire oh Monday, that he ac knowledges the kindness with sincere gratitude, Tho manifes tation of ipterest and the efforts to make his loss as little as pos sible affords a sense of pleasure in partial mitigation of the loss.
