A Fire
On last Sabbath morning the residence of James Weeks, who lives two or three miles in the country, was entirely destroyed by fire. The family were in town attending church at the time, and during their absence the house caught fire. Nothing worth mentioning was saved. A statement of the misfortune was made at the Baptist church on Monday afternoon and the congregation immediately made up a relief fund amounting to about $125.00.
