Show I Mrs. Abbie Anderson, former lino-: lino-: type operator on the Beaver County 1 Xews. came, down from Lynndyl, Ut-; Ut-; ah, and spent Christmas day calling ! on old friends. i i . - j What is more sad and pitiful when death enters a family and takes away ! the husband and father of a large j family of children. Such is the case : which happened on Christmas night, ; when Elmer Davies, Supt. of the St. j Croix mine, was called. We wish to extend our sympathy to the family ! in their bereavement. j Dont forget that X'ew Year's day is the day to begin in earnest on the ; Belgian Refugee work. The Railroad ! unit will meet at the home of Mrs. j Cottrell, and a large attendance is j expected. Any one wishing to work ; and is not able to go out. let Mrs. I C ottrell or Mrs. Adams know, and work will be provided. What might have proved a very : disastrous fire was discovered by Mrs. Phil Orwin. who happened to notice that the roof of the post office was all ' ablaze. She- ran quickly to the post off.oe and told Postmaster Stoker. With the aid of a small hose from the Orwin home it was quickly extin-j extin-j guished. Mr. Stoker was just prepar-, prepar-, ire to close the office, so that he might attend the funeral of Mr. Harrington, Har-rington, and in a few minutes would, have been gone The cause of the fire is thotitht to have been caused from a defective wire 'ft burned quite a hole rlcht over the big desk j in the oihee. i - |
