children and with no insurance on
the building the loss falls he?v'vily on
them, and help must be forthcoming
from the public to clothe them
for the winter. Several of the
smaller children were prepared for
bed and have nc'thing except their
nijtht clothes. Kind neighbors have
taken the family in unitl further ar
rangements can be made for hous
ing them.

the fire, said it was a very sad case
and appealed to the public to help
with donations of clothing, shoes,
house furnishings or cash. Anything
will be appreciated and Mr. Hedric!c
