gained such headway in the at

except to save the contents and
protect adjacent property.
The Robertson family were at
Home except Mr. Robertson,
who was out on his run to Jop
lin and did not know of the loss
of his home until his return
Sunday night.
Nearly all the furniture and
household goods were saved, in
cluding a number of family
heirlooms in the way of antique
mahogany furniture. The $300
insurance probably covers the
loss on the furnishings.
The home valued at $2000 to
$2500 was insured for only
$1200 and the family have the
sympathy of many friends in
this property loss as well as the
deprivation of their home in
this extreme weather.
Mrs. Robertson and children
have since the disaster been
with Mr. and Mrs. Holly Cobb

house on Vine street, formerly
occupied by R. B. Hocking, who
has moved into the old O. D.

Poinsett Now A11 Dry.
Harrisburg, Jan. 6.—Judge J.
G. Mitchell yesterday refused to
grant liquor license to parties to
run a saloon at Fisher, this coun
ty, where a saloon has been
maintained for several years.
This puts the saloons all out of
Poinsett county,, and entitles it
to be put into the white column.
The central portion of the coun
ty has been dry for several
years, and last year the saloons
were knocked out of the eastern
part of the county, and only the
Fisher saloon remained, and
now they are out of the entire
county..
