PARR FIRE LOSS ADJUSTED.

The W. L. Wood fire loss at Parr was fully adjusted Thursday, Mr. Wood receiving the full amount on stock, SI,BOO, and sl,800 on building. The property was insured in Irwin & Irwin’s agencies. Mr. Wood is now rebuilding the blacksmith shop and will put up an office at once. He is the postmaster at Parr, and about SIOO worth of stamps and supplies were burned in the fire, but it is understood that the government will reimburse him for this loss. Until he can get an office put up he is keeping the postoffice in one room of his dwelling. The papers in his safe were some of them charred somewhat but not practically intact, so that his loss there will not be heavy.
