Just liow the home of Mr. W. H.
Parke, on Confederate erect, escaped
destruction by tire Saturday
" night ie a mystery to Mr. Parke
ie and members of his family. Saturday
evening Mrs. Parke cleaned
r- the Hehes from the stove in ttie
t- cook room and placed them in a
small wooden box. The box was
shoved aside and it was the inten"
tiou of Mrs. Parks to carry it iuto
l~ the yard a little later and empty
the ashes. Her attention was then
directed to other duties and the
1- ash-box escaped her memory,
e Sunday morning Mr. Parks was
k surprised on entering the kitchen
9. to iitid the room tilled with smoke.
The doors and windows were
1, opened and wlieu the smoke had
lR cleared it was found that the
wooden box had took fire during
jj the night and had not only been
entirely consumed but that a hole
about two feet across had been
burned in the floor. The tire had
16 gone out when Mr. Parks entered
l" the room. It was indeed a narrow
d escape, and should be a warning
to others who would deposit hot
n ashes in a wooden box.
