About 8,30 on Wednesday evening of last week fire broke out in the barn of William Shoebottorn, three miles south of Wingham on the Belgrave road, and in a very short time was. completely destroyed. Mr. Shoebottom had just fed his team and let them out, and on going up in the barn hung the lantern on a nail The nail is thought to have broken and allowed the lantern to fall and explode. All of the season's crop with the exception of one load of oats, was in the barn, one load stand- ing on the floor to be unloaded in the morning. A considerable amount of machinery was also destroyed, When .the blaze was at its height, sparks fell like snowflakes and for a short time endangered the house and drive shed, but after the first shingles had burned the driving shed was the only building in danger, and many willing hands carried water to quench any new outburst. The loss is a serious one to Mr. Shoebottom as only $1000 insurance was carried on the building and very little, we understand, on the contents. So brightly did the fire burn that the sky was illuminated for miles, and large crowds of spectators gathered. Cars lined the road on both sides for over halfa mile. 33usiness in China Mr, Paul Sykes, Canadian Govern- ment Trade Commissioner in North -China and Manchuria, will be at the i London Chamber of Commerce, Hot - •e1 London, London, Ont,, August 31, .1934, for the purpose of interviewing those interested in business in the ter- ritory he covers for Canada.
