About 1 o’clock last Saturday afternoon the fire alarm was turned in for a small blaze at Mr. J.S. Cook’s home on South Main Street. Evidently a spark had fallen from the kitchen flue on the dry shingle room, and when it started it was not long in coming to a blaze. When first discovered the blaze was between one and two feet high. Neighbors ran in and had it under control when the firemen arrived. The damage was slight, but undisturbed a few minutes a big blaze would have developed in a very short while.
