SHOP AND HOUSE BURNED
OWNER LOSES HEAVILY
Press Association PALMERSTON N., Today. The Whakarongo general store and post office, occupied by Mr. Archer, and the adjoining house, occupied by Mr. Sheppard, a farmer, were total]}' destroyed by Are yesterday afternoon. The occupants were all away on a half-holiday and the outbreak was discovered by a schoolboy at the rear of the shop. Practically nothing was saved, despite the efforts of a bucket brigade. The buildings were old and burned fiercely. The owner, Mr. Archer, is a heavy loser, as none of his stock was insured.
