Seasoned with age the material of
the First Baptist church burned like
il was oiled when fire of unknown ori-
gin started in the church about mid-
night Saturday night. With a flash the
flames went to all parts of the build-
ing and it was only a few minutes until
the fire was breaking thru the roof
and walls in great sheets. The rains
of the last week with the snow that
was on the building at the time was
the only thing that retarded the flames
in the least.
As soon as the first alarm was turn-
ed in the tire department started for
the fire and with the emergency alarm
arrangements were begun to bring out [

I Cooking Stoves.
We can sell you a good cooking stove cheaper right now than we
could possibly buy them wholesale. The reason of this is that we
bought theae atovee before they advanced in price Th?y.a.re, H}£
CHARTER OAK and there is not a better stwe on the market for the
money. We have other makes that we can sell you cheaper. The
recent Gas Shortage has proven the need of a good wood cook stove
—so now is the time for you to buy a good stove very cheap. We
also carry a good line of shelf hardware—if you need anything in tnts
line *We can save you money. Come in and let us show you.
Although the tnermometer was lower
both Sunday and Monday morning than
it was Saturday the supply of natural
gas here was much better than It was
Saturday. This was due,to the weather
clearing and the wind moderating. The
gas was weak during the noon pull, but
in only a few parts of town was it en-
tirely out.
The thermometer was below freezing
Sunday morning and cold enough that
a thin crust or the earth was frozen.
Monday morning it was even colder and
the ground frozen harder. Moderation
set in soon after sun up Monday and it
was only a short time until the ground
began to thaw out.
The sleet and snow that was falling
the early part of Saturday night be-
came a hard snow during the night and
fell steadily almost all the night. Much
of the snow that fell during the early
part of the night melted, but before
midnight the ground was freezing and
the snow began to stay on the ground.
It began melting with the rise of the
sun Sunday and by night was nearly
all gone.
The freeze probably damaged all
vegetables that were up. but local nur-
serymen are of the belief that the freeze
has not killed the fruit. An early in-
spection of orchards was made Monday
morning, but showed no indications of
damage. The fruit <nen are watching I
their trees during the day when, as it j
thaws more, the damage, if any, would j
show, but they expressed the opinion
early during the morning that they did
not believe the fruit was far enough ad-
vanced for any damage.
G. C. Masters returned Sunday night
from near Bardwell, Ellis county, p
where he attended in quick succession'
the burial of his sister, Mrs. S. A.
Green, and of her husband. The Green
family formerly lived in Denton county,
but for a number of wirs had been
living in Ellis county.
Mrs. Green died of pneumonia Sunday,
Feb. 25, and Mr. Green was taken sick
with the same disease Tuesday and died
March 1.
Six boys and four daughters survive
them, three of the latter being married.
One of them is Mrs. Bos^ Woods of this
city. Burials were made at the ceme-
tery near Bardwell, Mr. Masters and
Mrs. Woods attending and Mrs. Woods
remaining over for a few days.

The Sumlay school annex southwest
of the church building was badly dam-1
aged by the flames. It caught fire sev-
eral times and a portion of the roof!
and wails next to the church were
burned.
The fire was the hottest and possibly I
the largest since the burning of the old

a light that lighted up the entire city
to the corporate limits with its reflec-

the People’s Home Telephone office. She j
was sitting in a window of the office!
when she first detected it.
