/ Mr.. Il. u. Kinney, missionary Oh GuS
American S. S. Union, who is spending the
summer at Caspian Lake, Greens boro, was
in town one day last week, consulting the
several ministers with reference to work in
the outlying districts. incipient
fire, this time in PaddOck's store, caused
few moments excitement to the people of
our village Monday morning of last week.
The fire caught in the floor around the
stovepipe, but was quickly discovered by
the smoke and extinguis he'd. Had the fire
got under Roadway, it would have meant
the destruction not only of the store, but
also of the hotel and Mr.. Stevens new
block. Do not the several recent warnings
impress the urgent need of having a fire
company and some apparatus on the Com
mon?
