Monday night the grocery store at
Orton took fire and was burned to
the ground, a total loss except the
poBtofflce money and some of the
papers, also the cash that belonged
to the new owner, Mr. W. S. Hall.
Mr. Hall was alone In the building.
He slept upstairs and in moving around
with an oil lamp the lamp slipped
out of his hand breaking it and setting
the oil afire. The upper part of the
building was soon all ablaze. Mr. Hal!
tried to put It out bysmotherlng the
fire with bed ' clothes, but' was un
successful. He was hemmed in his
room and would have perished had It
not been for his presence of mina.
He tied some bed clothes together
and tried to swing down from the
window, but the swing broke and he
fell to the ground. His eyebrows and
hair were singed and he had some
burns, but otherwise he .scaped In
Jury. Mr. Hnll had just bought the
tore from Mrs. Crarles Gardner. It
Is a serious loss and a calami'y to the
hole community. Orton had gotten
to be quite' a business place. Agood
deal of freight was chipped fromtthere
and the business is increasing right
along. The house and goods were
insured. It Is not known whether Mr.
Hall will rebuild or not.

a guest were smoking on the front
porch. The guest, after lighting his
cigar, threw the burned mutch to the
ground.
"Oh, I wouldn't do that, George."
Bald the host.
"Why not?" aaked the guest, sur
prised." "It spoils the appearance of a place,"
was the answer. "It's just those little
things that make a place look bad."
The guest Bnioked his cigar In si
lence for a minute. Then, without a
word, ho get up from his chair, walk
ed down to tho road and disappeared.
He returned lu a short while- and hl
hoiit asked:
"Why, where have you been,
George?"
"Oli, 1 Just went down to spit In the
river," said Goorge. Everybody's.
