AURORA, TEX Feb 5.--The weather
has been splendid for the past few days
and our town has been dull, from the
fact that the farmers are busy.
Aurora still improves. Mr.. ]. w.
Stanley has opened his new family
grocery store on the northwest corner
OF the square. This was the old pOpu-
lar stand OF several former successful
merchants OF Aurora.
The Killough Brothers OF Alvarado
will will move their entire stock of
dry-goods, groceries, etc, to
this point within the next
ten days and occupy the stone
building purchased by them, that we
mentioned in former communion
ton.

lug
Our town was alarmed by a bright
fire In the east iest night ana we were
soon informed by telephone that the
Morris Bros building auRhome was
on Are. Aurora responded nobly to
aid in extinguishing the fire, The
omnibus was made ready and filed
with men and buckets, aud others on
horseback went to the scene Of the
confiagration, but they were too late
to save the store-hOus- of Morris Bros,
which was entirely consumed.
The stock was insured, but the house
was not, we understand, and we have
no means at pr sent of estimating the
loss A brisk norther sprang up soon
after the building was burned, or the
damage to the town would have been
very disastrous.

been on 8 visit 10 our town for several
days.
