White's Residence Burns. On the 12th, Mr. and Mrs. W. A. WHITE attended the Jon Steele sale and about 4 o'clock together with some others in a car, went home, and upon nearing the residence discovered it was on fire. Efforts were made to extinguish the blaze before help was called and finding it beyond control, Phoned for the Melvern fire extinguisher, which arrived, but too late to save the building, which with most of the contents, was burned. The fire's origin is a mystery, as they had been gone since before noon and it was about 4 p.m. when the fire broke out. The building and contents were insured but not enough to replace them. Card of Thanks. We desire to heartily thank the friends and neighbors who did all within their power to save our household goods during the fire at our residence October 12. W. A. White and family.
