A large public school in Anderson suffered complete destruction by fire on Wednesday at 1 30 pm. Fire drills and disciplined classroom exits saved pupils and teachers, with orderly evacuation noted as the cause of reduced casualties. Local notices advertise goods and services in Columbus, Indiana.
The piece notes an unusually cold December with people feeling the chill at church and on the streets. Shoemakers stay busy in the cold while Isaак Taylor boasts a buggy horse and holiday sales promise a large line of goods. Hospital and travel notices mingle with prices for jackets and Xmas ties.
