The fire started In & box filled wiih rags and clothing and Is supposed to have been the work of the Sheriff's little boy wha was playing with matches. How ever, It is foriunate that the child escaped from the burning room The grounds around the new school house have been terraced up in first cla:s style, making that cor- ner one of the most pleasant place in town. . . .
