Farm Residence Burned

James Strain’s residence, on the farm better known as Jimmie Smith’s, in North Whitewater,, caught fire from a defective flue Tuesday night nd was totally destroyed by the flames. All the household goods on the first floor were saved but the fire gained such headway that the furniture in the upper story was lost.
