" 1- J 1- -1-1? 1 i.U~ a small pet aog prouauiy w?r lives of a family Here last night. When J. Ban Allen, Jr.,,and his wife woke upon hearing the little dog x frantically barking at their bedroom window they found the roof of the house in flames, and they had just barely gotton out when the entire roof fell in. The flames were practi cally all over the house, and nothing was saved in the way of household furniture. In response to the alarm the fire company went to the scene of the fire, although a mile out of the city iimits, but could do nothing as ' there was no water protection that far out. The house belonged to J. Ban Allen, Sr., who had left much of ' his household goods there when he moved to another farm which he owns near Lowndesville. The house was a large two atory building and was valued at $12,*000. with little in surance.
