Fire.!
Fire!
Fire!

This is an awful cry and
one that strikes terror to
the staunchest heart. The
cry that went up from our
people on Sunday even
ing the 18th OF August still
echoes and the effect of
that fire is awful. 1t has
caused for me the loss of
a lot OF money, but it IS
ian i'll wind that blows no
one good,'' and the same
may now be said of a fire.
1t destroyed lots of goods
but there were a few saw
ed and ! have many only
slightly damaged which
are being sacrificed to
make room for the new
stock coming in every day.
We have got to be alive
and you will find me right
here on deck ready to sell
you goods as cheap and
maybe a little cheaper
than ever before. Come
to see me.
