Two fires in three days occurred in
Barnwell last week, the residences of

totally destroyed, together with most
of their contents.
The first alarm was given about

it was found that the Bennett home
was on fire. The flames spread so
rapidly that the volunteer fire-flghtera
were powerless to do more than pre
vent the s^d of the Are to other
buildings, nor were they able to save
any of the household goods except a
trunk and a suit case.
Saturday morning about 3:30 o'
clock the Moody residence was dia-
eoverbd to be on Are and in a short
while the entire building was wrapped
in flames, only a small amount of
furniture being saved. The residence
ut J. M. Brodie caught two or three

losses were partially covered
by insurance. The origin of the fires
is unknown.
