They had a stovepipe running through the roof of the kitchen and it was lucky that a south wind was blowing, or the whole building would have been burned. As it was, only the roof of the kitchen was damaged. Nearly all the furniture was moved out but this time there was not much of it damaged dam-aged during tho excitement The fire a week ago aided in drilling the people so they worked to better advantage than they did during the former fire, and tney deserve credit for their ready aid.
