the farm of William X. Lockwood
near Warwick, was totally destroyed
by fire with it's entire contents, con-
sisting of three colts, ten head of
fine cattle, number Of agricultural

the men who were hastily drawn to
the scene the barn and dwelling were
saved. The loss is estimated to be

unknown.

lights and water works, and then one
of the best locations in the county for
several lines of business will invite out

do not scare every stranger away by
asking insane prices for lots.
The small pox cases heretofore re-

are Mrs. Samuel Thompson and her
son James Thompson aged IL. The
cases have been isolated and the

by the boy to a shanty on the island
occupied by ice cutters, men from
