Fire averted by quick action at Mr Johnson’s home
A roof fire at 145 Wednesday afternoon at G W C Jonson’s home was contained by a neighborly unorganized fire company. Water buckets and an axe helped strip shingles, preventing spread.

Several divorces granted by Judges Martin and Brown include Frank Dennis and Lucinda Dennis, William Haines and Sallie Haines, Ira L Butler and Bessie Butler, Wesley Pollard and Charlotte Pollard, John F Trice and Roxie Trice, with five additional suits pending in the county.
