Rev. A. Z. Atwater, who has been pas
tor OF the Methodist Church i'll this place

source of deep regret, not only to those
connected with the Methodist church,

their stay here Mr.. and Mrs. Atwater,
by their excellent social qualities, their
friendly spirit, and their practical inter
est in everything calculated to promote
The welfare of the community, have COM
manded universal respect and esteem.
AS we have said before in these columns
Mr.. Atwater has proved himself an elo-

faithful pastor. While the change is dis
amounting to us, our best wishes accom-
pany them to their new field, and we
congratulate the Methodist Church and
the village of Island Pond upon their
valuable acquisition.

A destructive fire visited Newport early
last Tuesday morning. 1t started in {.
J. Hubbard's boot and shoe factory, and
in very short time the building was
consumed. The flames then caught on
to the root of Fields block and this too
was destroyed, but here further progress
was stayed. The block was occupied by
the post office, just fitted up at big ex-
pcnsc, the armory Of Newport Rifles, and

was saved. The court house, NJ T..

caught fire from the flying cinders but
were soon put out. As may be expected
the loss is very heavy.
