COnflagratiOn at WilliamstOwn.

AT eleven o'clock last Thursday night fire
was discovered in the groCery-store of
Elmer e. Perry in the basement Of Mrs.
Lewis Flint's house. In spite of rain at
the time and all efforts made to subdue it,
it progressed till it had consumed Mrs
Flint's house, the Hubbard House (our one
hoteD, adjoining it on the south, and the
SimonS Il Gale store on the north Mrs.
Flint was in Barre at the time, and her son
Walter, who was sleeping in the house, es-
capped by the skin of his teeth" Hardly
any of her household goods were saved
Insurance, some 81 400. The Hubbard House
was purchased last summer by the Will
Jamestown Granite Company and was ocCu-
pied by Landlord T.. f. Durham, who had
a large family of boarders. The company
had an insurance of 50 ,300-but sustained a
loss that is the more to be lamented because
it has been, ard is, bearing so much
of " the burden and heat of the day" in
the development of the granite business
here. But hardly to another one does this
calamity come with more of diSCOur-
agement than to Mr.. Dunham's family.
The smallpox invasion, last season, made
sad havoc with them. For the fifth time
since last May they have just moved. Alto
gether, their case calls for the warmest
sympathy. DR.. E. B. Watson had his
office in Mrs. Flint's house, and pills, pow
ders and potions were all gulped by the
fre-hend But the doctor was properly in
sured. Mr.. Perry's stock of groceries was
insured to the amount of $3.50. He was
living in an upstairs tenement of the
Simons & Gale store, and his household
effects were insured for $500. The store
itself, owned by David Gale ami Mrs.
Martha Simons Beckett was insured for
$1,000. 1t was occupied by Charles Seaver,
son of j. MunrOe Seaver, who had an insur-
ance of $1,000 on his goods, many of which
were taken from the store, but must have
been badly damaged. The origin of the
fire is unknown. Mr.. Perry left his store two
hours before the fire broke forth, and its
origin is likely to always remain "A mystery
When first discovered it seemed AS if it
might easily have been put out with the
proper facilities for fighting fire, which the
town lacks as yet. 1t is a notable coinci.
dence that fifteen years ago the building on
the same site as the one in which the late
fire originated was struck by lightning and
burned, causing the destruction also of the
hotel, adjoining it, The present loss is a Sc
we're one for our place, especially at this
time, but of course no such words AS "sur
render" or die " will be allowed in oul
vocabulary. The Methodist society very
kindly rented its parsonage the old Da

The day when the chief
names on all tongues and in
all hearts, from the Atlantic to
the Pacific, are Home" and
Mother"
1t matters but little, on that
day, whether the home is to
be found in our own fair city,
or in the lovely towns that
are set like gems III our
County Crown.
1t matters but little whether
you go up among the warm
hearted fathers and mothers of
Vermont,
Or to the sturdy sires of
Maine or New Hampshire.
1t is the sold home" that
fills your thoughts to-day, no
matter where you are or how
well the material things of life
have been gathered by you or
for you.
The days will go slowly,
now, to thousands upon thou
sands. Every eye scans the
Calendar and counts the days
between now and then, when
they are at home again.
And yen must be ready for
their coming.
What is it, think you, is
strongest in their expectations
after the home greetings?
Isn't it the dream of the
home table, the home linen,
the old and well-remembered
service and the charm that
comes from the home ways?
The world has moved fast
of late years, and the boys and
girls have moved with it.
The new ways have become
an important part of the new
life, and while you will not let
go of the old, yet you will
want to have enough of the
new so that the distance be-
tween what was and what is
will not seem SO marked or
strange.
You will want to see the
beautiful old China on covers
of snowy loneliness.
No matter if Napkins we're
not in such general use, years
ago, as now. 1t will not de-
tract from the homecoming if
you have them ready, and in
the very prettiest kinds.
What adds more to the charm of home coming
than dainty White Linens? Where Thanks
giving linens be found in greater abundance and
beauty than with us?
Sets, If you prefer them, in costly and elaborate
designs you will care for.
| Sets In all the qualities and grades worth your
buying and at prices within the reach of everybody
Damasks, if you prefer to
make your own sets, bleached
and unbleached, low as 45c a
yard, or soc, or 62c. If you
want truly excellent DamaSk,
75c will get you something
beautiful. We have DamaSk
at SI.oo, the very latest from
the looms. You will find in it
the old popular designs of last
year-the Ivy, Clover, Maiden
Hair Fern, Oxalis, etc.-and
several new patterns for this
winter, and with this there are
Napkins to match.
There is a special favorite of not sold pro-
mlscuously " inches wide, at SlsO yard and per-
