On behalf of the fire sufferers here
we wish to express our earnest and
heartfelt thanks for the generous and
prompt assistance which the good peo-
pie OF Princeton cheerfully gave in our
time. of great need. Eighty people
were entirely burned out-lo sing every
thing, and in addition to these, 242 peo-.
pie lost5so heavily that they have had
to have assistance. Some sof these!
while saving their houses and con-
tents, loststhe barns, hay, cows pigs,
chickens, and the larger part Of their
crop and garden vegetables, wood, ties,
logs, in fact, everything upon which
they depended for a living during the
coming; winter. Had it not been for
the: substantial aid given by Princeton
great suffering for food and clothing
would have ensued Immediately after
the fire. We wish especially to thank
Bob Dunn for the zeal and activity dis
played in awakening interest in our
people both by his personal efforts and
through his paper, the Princeton
UNION. Mr.. 7. 81. Galley has also rem
dered many favors, and has furnished
nails, beds, bedding and household fur
niture at actual cost price. Our county
commissioners George Buck, John
McCool and A. j.. Barrett are de-
serving of especial credit for their. gen
crosby in donating $500 for fire relief
here, which is being expended under
the direction Of A. J. Barrett, and is
going where it is needed the most.
There are many others in Princeton
whose names we do not know, but
whose donations have been received
and distributed among the fire suffer-
ers, and if they could see the thankful
ness with which they were accepted it
would well repay for the gift.
