will be some fine choruses by other

Waverly—Fire broke out in the
first floor of the A. H. Thomas
Paint Company's plant at 8:30 last
evening. In response to the clang
of the fire bell the firemen were
quickly on the scene and soon had
three streams playing on the flames
which were gaining rapid headway
The nature of the stock, which
was very inflammable, made the
subduing of the fire difficult, and it
was 10 o'clock when by the hard-
est kind of work the firemen suc-
ceetled in accomplishing their task.
The basement and first floor
suffered the most damage, the ma-
chinery and stock being almost a
total loss. The second story floor
was burned through and thousands
of cans of paint fell to the floor
below. How the fire originated is
a mystery.
