FIRE SWEPT.


In the barn, but few steps from the
house, and laying the pocketbook
down on a window sill he ran out
and released the horse. Before he
could reach the house again it was on
fire and his money had been burned
up.
A freak Of the fire is shown near
the intersection of two streets where
two frame dwelling houses stand un-
touched by the flames, although the

burned. These two buildings were
the centre of attraction on Sunday
and every one wondered how they es-
capped, but no one was able to ex-
plain it.

Of Interest to All Enterprising People of
the County.

Mr.. Hamilton Child, representing
Mr.. George Hanford, the publisher,
has been engaged for some time in
Bloomsbury and at Danville in the
compilation of Directory and Map
of Columbia and Montour counties.
Several other canvassers are engaged
in other sections of the county.
The plan is a new one in this sec
ton of the country, although the
parties engaged have been many years
at the business, and an examination
of the Bradford county Directory, a
book of 9Io pages together with no.
tices by the papers of that county and
letters from prominent citizens all
complimentlng the work, warrants us
in commencing the new enterprise
here to all citizens OF enterprise who
desire to be able to know and COM
municate with the people of these
counties.
A house to house canvass is to be
made and the compilation will give
names, post Office address, road num-
Der corresponding with like number
on map, IA series of numbers for each
township occupations, and Of farmers
number OF acres owned or leased by
each, besides much other information
will be given.
Mr. Child is meeting with success
here and it is hoped the people every
where will accord the canvassers the
desired information and the support
needed to secure the publication of
the work. We are at the close of one
century and the beginning of another.
The new directory will on that ac.
count possess peculiar historical worth
fol benefit of succeeding generations.
