THE JUST AND THE UNJUST
Lightning Caused Destruction Of the
Parsonage at xvooIwich.


Woolwich, July 26.-The thunder show
er that visited this town Wednesday af-
ternoon at 4 o. clock, caused the total de-
struction ny fire of the parsonage and
other buildings connected, owned by the
T. W. Baptist church at the locality
known as Montsweag.
The house was occupied by the family
of Rev. Joseph Nickerson, pastor of the
church. 1t seems fortunate that no one
was in the building when it was struck
The neighbors succeeded in removing
some of the goods from the house, but
many highly priced articles were lost.
Whether or not the church held an in
surance policy on the building we have
been unable to learn.

On the range the hens get little at

of feeding by the hens. Give them this
