The nearest call we have had to a
home thrust came, in the quiet hours
Of last Sunday afternoon. TO our sister
town, the borough of st. Mary's. SO,
near, indeed, is the warming that one
can almost see our beautiful village in
flames, the streets filled with dispaiI-
ing throng, while liz the light of the
expiring cnbeTs grim men and sad
women discuss with hurried words,
and low, the might-huvehecn of the
disaster. When TOO late Ridgway vii
lagc will seek to protect herself against
fire, just as other villages have done
on The ruin o. their business places,
and in The ashes OF their desoiated
homes. Warnings are in vain, for
they remain unheeded' But once
again allow u to say prepare to pro
tect your property against fire, before
the Witherin% blast has made your
neglect, Il painful remembrance O, a
