Tuesday Morning of this week a woodhouse and garage owned by Mr. Joe Clayton of Roper, situated on Main Street, and occupied with Mr. Willian, caught fire and destroyed the building. A new Ford automobile owned by a Mr. Furlough was also destroyed. The main building also was ignited several times, but by heroic efforts of volunteers no further damage was done.
A call came for the Plymouth Fire Company, but the flames were under absolute control before a response could be made.
