On Sunday morning about half past nine
the barn of Fred Bloch in Frosty Valley,
was discovered to be on fire. Some men
were sitting in the yard near the house,
and saw the flames spreading in shed
containg straw Every effort was made to
extinguish the flames, but without avail.
The barn with the entire contents Except
the horses were destroyed The horses
were all that could be saved. A new
thrcsher and separator belonging to Clark
Pursel, which he had just purchased the
Monday previous was also destroyed. The
thresher had not been used at the
barn Since Friday evening 1t il
supposed the fire was caused by
some children who were playing in the
shed. The barn was a new one. There
was an insurance in the Grange Insurance
Company of 800 on the barn, and $500 OF
the contents. Clark Pursel had no insur
aucc on his thresher. This is the secont
one he has lost by fire within the past few

To this most worthy and noble organ
ization we extend our sincere thanks
for vacating the room in the second
story of the RECORD building, which
they have had rented tor thepast two
months and used as n reading room.
The room was open every evening and
was visited by most of oU young men,
instead of f~requenting places unbecom.
Ing to gentlemen.
The work of the association has met
the most hearty approval Of our best
thinking people, and they have learned
that the movement is worthy of SUI
port and encouragement. The church
es are becoming awakened to the i'm
portance of the work which in vain
they have tried to accomplish.
We hope and believe that the advent
of the ". C.. I. |. here will prove If
great good, and every Christina should
support the work and lend Il helping
hand in shielding frCm temptation tic
tewly- awakened soul, or in coming to
the help Of those who need succor and
encouragement; to cheer the downcast
strengthen the wayering; lift up the
fallen, and help to bear the ~orgaai2a-
ton ON in the course they have set out
to follow,
They were very thankful for the re-
ception given them here, and While
they were laboring so earnestly, with
so much Of personal sacrifice and detri-
ment to health. in trying 10 lead the

SATURDAY, MAY 3, iss4.

With this Issue it viii be seen that
the RECORD has again changed hands,
and conducted entirely different as
heretofore; bat while we rejoice in our
new undertaking, let US not forget to
ask the patronage of this community.
This issue viii perhaps be met with
scorn and looks OF surprise by many,
but while you are ronderiHs over tie
wonderful change wrought by US, al
low us to beg the forgiveness of this
thinking public.
Since the en1argem9n Of the RECORD
It has been acknowledged by the read
srs to be the cheapest paper in the
State, and in fact toe cheap, rs achnowl
edged by other publishers throughout
The surrounding country.
BY reducing the nEcoRD to n twenty
four column paper, Wc hope to som be
able to purchase a larger press; then we
will publish 4 larger paper and print it
ali at home. To do this, We earnestly
request the liberal patronage of the
public.
We still continue to make the REC
ORD an indepeHt journal, ane shall ey.
er encourage the very best interests Of
our respective locality even alert in nd
vancing the public welfare; furnishing
the only true way by which the eiti-
izens can discuss questions affecting
their interests, and devise measures Of
Importance to themselves. We are for
the right, without regard to party, sect
or prejudice.
We do not wish to make any ''rash1
promises-as las been done heretofore
and never fmflied~-but VIC expect to
make the RECORD a potent factor in
the promotion and upbRilding of our
town, shutting out party and creed,
and working together to advance the
entire public good by intelligent public
discussion, earnest effort, considered
action and united influence.
The subscription price Of the REC.
ORD is still One Dollar per year, but
those who pay in advance, from this
date, will only be charged Seyenty-fye
cents; 50 you see it is still the cheapest
paper in the county, and again we ask
your liberal support, for with You de
ponds the future prosperity of the REC
ORD. We shall do our best to make
our undertaking a success, and promise
as soon as possible, to enlarge and
print the Whole at home.
