Bryant was visited by a destructive
fire last night. Nine business buildings
were burned in the south part of town,
including two hotels, bank, drug store,
general store, etc. The citizens were
practically helpless in the matter of
water supply and nothing could be done
to stop the flames until there was moth
ing more to feed upon. Telephone mes
sages to this city during the fire brought
forth offers of assistance from our fire
department, but the reply was that
nothing could be done for lack of water.
The Daily leader is in receipt of a
copy of the Bangor, Maine, Daily News

known in this city, being among the
graduates. In addition to awarding
diplomas, the exercises consisted of
music, an address by the superintend-
ent. and a reading by Miss Morse.
Miss Morse will return to Madison in
the early summer.

being closed, and in some instances
there is shortage of fuel in towns.
Mr.. Fitzgerald says conditions are
about as bad as the winter of 1890 81.
In this section the temperature has
been low, with first class sleighing and
there has been no difficulty i'll travelling
the country roads. Madison has been
fortunate III plentiful supply of fuel
and our citizens have much to be
thankful for compared to towns further
east.
In order to enable the churches of the
city to engage in more thorough and
systematic church and Sunday school
work they have decided to take a
church census of the city to ascertain,
if possible, the membership or church
preference of every person living in the
city. This ia to be done before the 9th
of February. Before that date it is ex-
pected that some member of the com
mittee will call at every home in the
city, and the persons so visited are re-
quested to give such information as the
committee desires. as the information
is desired to the prejudice OF no church
or your own personal regards or belief
in church matters. but. it is hoped, TO
the advantage of all churches in the
city. The supplies are now in the
hands of the chairman and may be had
at any time the members of the com
mittee desire to make the canvass. F.
