Owing to the boiler explosion at the
spool mill and other losses some years
ago, Capt. John F. Dearborn failed in
business and was obliged to pay his
creditors with small percentage on the
dollar, but the Captain said then if he
was ever able he should pay them all
he owed them. The creditors had little
hopes of getting their pay, as people in
their prosperity generally forget the
promises made in their adversely. But
Capt. Dearborn is not one of that kind,
as he has shown recently, for upon fall
ing heir to considerable money he has
been paying his creditors, some of them
two and three hundred dollars apiece,
which will be the means of relieving
and Tightening many homes. The Cap
tain has the right kind of heart.
