CARD OF THANKs.-We wish to express
our appreciation of the efforts of the towns
people in our behalf at the recent fire at
the mills. Had it not been for the ''buclet

burned and our loss consequently would
have more than doubled. We very much
doubt if there is another town where such
a fire could have been subdued without the
aid of engines. We wish in this way to
express our thanks for the service rem
