Wednesday evening about $ o'clock. in
the direction of the hilly part of dis
trict No. 9, and the surmise proved to
be correct that the flames were con

farm. The fire must have ragged with
great fierceness, for the flames burst
upward with such force that sparks
could be seen in the village and in less
than an hour the light was not seen
here
The place was unoccupied except
by Mr.. stevens, who shaved shingles
there, living by himself and he was
at neighbours when the fire was dis
covered, Long ago the farm was
known as the Willis place Monroe

Gettysburg and after the war settled

in 1874 at the time Of an uprising
