Moffitt’s barn, chicken house, creamery and milk separator house was quite a loss to our solid farmer, J. S. Moffitt. Several from here went up but little could be done as the fire had made a clean sweep of buildings mentioned together with about thirty tons of hay. Mrs. Moffitt was just about finished haying, and had only about three more loads of hay to put in the barn. In the rush to save what they could during the fire Jack, Sr., grabbed the cream separator which was set on concrete and with one jerk Jack pulled up separator, concrete and all and packed it about twenty feet. Later he said he tried to lift it and could not even budge it. In speaking to him about how the fire started, he about half way blamed his corn cob pipe. We were glad to see Miss Emmie Fisher down town again one day last week. This was her first trip to town since her injury I an auto wreck she had between here and Lakeview several weeks ago.
