were ladies in the hall above only down' to tte property which he recent
about twenty minutes before the fire ly purchased of W. J. Moore, last Sat
was dicovered, and there was no indi- urday
cation of fire then. It looked for a Th w c T jj. dinner at the M. E.
time as though the whole building
would be burned, but through the her
oic efforts of the fire fighters, the
blaze was extinguished and under con
trol by seven o'clock. Besides being
used for lodge purposes J. K. Ely oc
cupied the lower room with a general
stock of drygoods. The goods were
taken out, also the household goods
belonging to Dr. Stiner, who lived in
the house adjoining on' the north. The
Odd Fellow building was badly damag
ed, especially on the north side. Mr.
Bass lost most of his household goods
and the Odd Fellows and Rebekahs lost
most of their paraphernalia as their
lockers were right over the fire. Every
thing in the lodge room was taken out.
Masons, Eastern Stars, Artisans and
the Loyal Legion societies used the
hall also. Mr. Ely's loss will be great,
not only by fire but by water and the
general mixup of the goods which
were taken across the street to the
city hall. Adjusters for the insurance
companies were here Monday but as
yet nothing, has been settled. The Odd
Fellows carried $4,000 insurance on
building and Ely $4,500.

I IDEAS OF A PLAIN COUNTRY WOMAN I
" ............................
Dear Comrades: We all are more or
less acquainted with our small town.
Some one has said "God made the
country, man made the city and the
devil made the small town." Whether
that be altogether true we feel there
is room for vast improvement in the
small town especially is the need
greater if such a town be near a big
city as its people are indifferent con
sidering home town improvement more
unnecessary as they have easy excess
to the city life and advantages, relying
only on their own town for a place to
live, as t is cheaper and pleasanter in
many ways to be outside of tne duj
whirl. Another element of the small
town is the "good enough" kind of
people who are perfectly satisfied with
things as they are. They scarcely
ever go outside of their own door
yards to find out what other folks are
doing. They are in a rut dead, and
do not" know it. Nothing could ever
get them out save a stick of dynamite.
This class of people never enter "into
