The house known rs the Albert
/ Greenleaf house, mile south of the
village on the Dalton road. owned by
! c. B. Dutton, was burned last FRIDAY
morning, with most of its contents,
consisting of the furniture, provision
and clothing of two families. Mr..
knight, whose family occupied part
of the house, was the only man pres
ent when the fire broke out. But
little could have been saved under
any circumstances, however, as the
household goods were stored in the
chambers, the lower story of. the house
having been undergoing repairs. The
loss cannot be less than $500 and
falls especially heavy upon Mr.. and
Mrs. Dutton, who are industrious peo-
pie, and by this misfortune, We be-
lieve become worthy objects Of charity.
We trust that all who are able will
contribute liberally towards restoring
a home to those thus rendered home
less in an hour.

The Porter Brothers are making
great havoc in their ready-made CLOTH
ing department, having made great
reductions in prices on all their heavy
stock. Over-coats of all kinds are
being closed out at astonishingly low
prices, while heavy all-wool suits find
quick sales for little money. Now is
the time to get bargain.
