CARELESSNESS WAS CAUSE OF NEAR-FIRE

Paperhaager Had Left Paper Over Flutj* Holes at Monnett Home —Department Was Called. The alarm of fire was sounded Friday evening a little befooe 6 o’clock and the fire department made a good run to the Monnett Home and Watts iePeyster School for Girls. The trouble proved not to be serious, a hit of good fortune that was occasioned by its early discovery. Tlife paperhanger had papered over the flue holes in the house and thoughtlessly had not removed the paper and replaced the thimbles in the flues. The home formerly been heated with stoves but now a .heating plant is used and it was fired up to a good heat Friday and the paper over one of the flues caught fire. The blazing paper fell to a bed hi one of the upstairs rooms. Had it not been discovered at once or had it occurred at night serious consequences would have ensued. This near-bad accident should serve as a warning -to all paperlwngers to never leave a house with paper pasted over an exposed Hue hole.

Mr. Allman was for four years treasurer of Jasper county. None of the close personal friends of Mr. Allman were able to say in what business he would engage. That friends have been trying to find a place for him is well known and from one source we were told that he had made his arrangements. That Mr. Allman’s services will be sought by a number of firms is quite certain. He is a bookkeeper and penman of expert ability and can fill with credit any position of that kind. The many friends of the family will welcome them back to their old home.

Presbyterian Ladies Bazaar.

The annual bazaar to be held by the ladies of the Presbyterian church will be opened to the public next Tuesday noon and all day Wednesday, Dec. 10th and 11th, in Mrs. J. W. Williams’ vacant room. Doors open Tuesday noon at 1 o’clock sharp. Many useful and beautiful articles, the handiwork of the ladies, will be offered for sale, and people will do well to visit the bazaar for Christmas presents. A market will also be held in connection with the bazaar the following Saturday, Dec. N4th, in Warner Bros.’ hardware store. There was veTy little wheat sowed in Jasper county this fall. The almost total failure of the lost year and the limited crop .of the year before, caused many to abandon wheat this year. Charles Sqfileman Teports that he put out 40 acres and that it looks very good and that so far he thinks wheat has made excellent fall growth. The Hdssion fly, the spring rains, the rust troubles and the open winters make wheat growing very uncertain in this locality, although every few years a fine crop is raised and then about all the farmers get the feve^. The Presbytetimr -Ladles' Bazaar opens at 1 o’clock sharp next Tuesday noon.

WEATHER FORECAST. Pair except for snow flurries in extreme north potion tonight or Sunday; colder Sunday.
