MORRILL,.

The steam saw mill of j. F. Vickery, in
the village, was burned to the ground last
Friday evening between the hours of II and
70 O'Clock. The fire was well underway
when the church bell rang out the alarm,
aud it was only by well directed effort by
by the large number of citizens who were
soon on the ground that the houses of
Sjlas Storer and J. X. Dckey were saved.

swept the fire through the village Mr..
