Dwelling Burned

A small cottage on the suburbs of town occupied by Mr. Bob Rigsby was burned 
Friday night, and the family had a narrow escape from the flames.

The family including several small children were asleep and unconscious of 
their danger until the roof was about to fall in, and they were roused by a cat 
that was confined in the room.

Very little was saved from the fire and it was fortunate that none of the 
family was burned.

The friends of Mr. and Mrs. Rigsby come to their aid with contributions of 
various kinds.

The house and furniture were insured in the Globe Insurance Company, 
represented by Capt. W.C. Singleton, for $425.  The house for $200 and 
furnishings for $225 which will probably cover the loss.

The insurance was paid very promptly.  The fire occurred Friday night and the 
loss was paid Monday.  A promptness that was very commendable to the insurance 
people, and to their agent, Capt. Singleton.
