The residence of Mr.. E. H. Baldwin.
five miles west Of town caught fire on
Friday last about noon. Mr.. 4 Mrs. B.
were absent at the time. Mr.. Henry
Baldwin discovered fire falling through,
the roof, and soon :extinguished it
with a few pals Of water. We learn
that the roof caught from the burning
out of a ''Minnesota chimney" Every
thing is dry new and III goutl condition
to burn, and it behooves people to he Oh
the watch for fire.
Our friend of the Jackson Republic: is
very much exercised for: fear We shall
not be able to accommodate all who ap-
ply for town lots. Now,~ although our
town has been laid out but two years
and half, we have sold more lots than
Jackson has sold i'll ten years, and when
more room was demanded we made an
addition to our town which is larger
than the original town plat, and then
the Colony Company purchased from
two Jackson admirers Of Wort|ington
one hundred and sixty acres adjoining
the village, which they are now urged
to cut up into town lots. AMI there is
still room!
