A few days afterwards the kind

Fire Destrovs NH.

Last Friday night about /.

Der Co. saw mill, lumber and prop.
erty to the value of S12, 400 were de.
stroyed by FIRE. Mr.. Dircks has
been filing the post of watch
man for some time and Friday
night he made the rounds at 6
o'clock, finding everything all right.
About midnight the alarm of fire
aroused large crowd who hasten.
ed to the conAagration. 1t seems
that the FIRE started from the roof
and hence the general opinion that
the FIRE originated from flying
sparks discharged from a passing
locomotive on the railroad track
close by.
The losses are as follows: Ma
chnery Ss, 700; large shed, 81, 210;
saw mill shed, $3.50; lumber shed,
$3.50, lumber shed, $3.50; lumber,
about six cars,$oOO; tools, etc, $500.
Total. $12, 400.
On this amount the company held
insurance policies for only $1,000.
The rate was so high that is was
almost prohibitive.
We are informed by Mr.. Dircks
that a new mill will be erected to
take the place of the old one and
the business will be conducted as
heretofore as soon as everything
can be arranged This company
had one of the few mills in Union
City and its loss would have been
very great. 1t Is therefore good
news which assures us they will

A SUNDAY SERMON.

You will observe that ] am us
ing the golden text of the Sunday
school lesson and also a supple.
mental text from Proverbs. The
proverb is to my mind the best
possible Interpretation of Paul's
words to the Corinthig,ls.

risively Knocked in their efforts to

I ening and deadening effects of hav
ing, at sometime in the past, yield
ed to the deceptive voice of the
great and conscienceless monster,
the liquor traffic. But, thank God,
a better day is dawning and "the
sound of a going in the mulberry
trees" is now being heard as human
consciences awake.
"Men are SO simple, and yield
so much to necessity, that he who
wishes to deceive will always find
those who are willing to be de
ceived." This is Just as true of
nations as Of individuals, and the
devil, who is evidently the father
of the liquor traffic, knew it and
used that advantage in foisting the
traffic upon mankind.
Deception is nothing more nor
less than lie reduced to practice,
or falsebood changing from words
into things.
BY what ! have already said you
have my estimate Of the liquor
traffic, for In whatever form it
may appear, whether in wine on
tho dining table of the rich, in
beer in the low negro Joint, or as
rum, gin, brandy and whisky in
the licensed saloon, the whole
business is deception, deceiverI
and fraud. 1t is a deception and
a fraud in that it pretends to be
