bye!

crops, await the coming year not without

uneasy, nor to disturb their peaceful SUM
bers: but suppose fire were to break out
on main street anywhere between the court
house and the old post-office building? No
engine, no water, no nothing! A few hours
would see the Valley filed with smoke and
the town with vacant building-sltes.

the sidewalks, the front stoops-a!l, all are
theirs. (But this is to be changed.)

Jobs. But "the darkest hour is just before
the break Of day."
