THE FIRE FlEND At DARLINGTON
Five Buildings and q Large Lot
of Goods Burned.
The Darlington Republican and H. L.
Browns Printing Office go with
the Rest.

At about three O'Clock on Thurs
day morning, May Sd, a fire broke
out in the brick building of William
Hooper, just south of the railroad
track on main street. Darlington.
The fire had gained but little
Roadway before discovered. Shortly
after three o'clock small fame was
seen issuing from one of the win
dows of the building. An alarm
was instantly given, and in a very
short time large crowd of people
was on hand, but soon the interior
of the building was enveloped in
flames.
The greatest possible efforts were
made to bring the fire under control,
but proved unsuccessful, until after
the building in which it originated,
and the stores of Driver Bros. and
Harrington & Co. were burned to
the ground, together with the office
of The Darlington Republican and
II. L. Browns job printing Office.
Three frame structures on the west
of the store buildings were destroyed.
At about six o'clock the fire was
brought under control, the Blakely
House and number of other build
ings fortunately being saved from
its ravages.
a portion of the goods in the
stores was saved. No estimate
of the loss is given. We un-
derstand there was a considerable
amount of insurance on the prop
erty, but not sufficient to cover the
loss

We are pleased to notice this week
the return of of G. J. Smith, from
his northern trip.
AS the youthful season of the
year" begins and all nature hastens
into life and beauty, the little folks
turn instinctively to the old amuse-
ment which afforded US great pleas
ure in early days-that of fishing.
The older boys and girls don their
new spring styles and see if there is
anything in the shape Of humanity
left uncaught after the long winter
siege. "Old birds are not caught
with chaff."
Mrs. q. NJ. Coates, first assistant
in our schools spent Saturday and
Sunday with friends at home.
Fred Shafer and R. S. Smith two
of our enterprising business men,
paid Dodgeville a visit on Tuesday,
Mrs. R. S. Smith accompanied her
husband.
On Friday last in the city, of Min
eral Point, Mr.. Royal Granville, Of
this village, was married to Miss
Ella James, of Montfort. Mr.. Clan
vile is an upright, industrious
young man, and has been fortunate
enough to accumulate little Of this
worlds goods. He has a substan-
tial little house, beautifully situated,
which he has lately repaired
throughout.
aBy their fruits ye shall know
them.n There is no surer way Of
Judging the character of the parent
than by that of the child. A kind,
generous, loving disposition in the
child Is the out-growth of kind
ness and love In the home circle
while a sordid, sullen suspicious
| disposition points strongly to the
existence of those qualities al
home. How careful, then, should
we be to leavs only such impres
sions on our children as We are vii
ling to have go before the world. SD

upon our lodge record, a copy be given to the
