Mr.. w. H. w. Moran has purchased
the printing plant recently owned by
the Prince William Publishing COmPa-
ny and is now working on this weeks
edition of his paper. The town hall is
being used as a temporary postOffice.
Every available room has been rented,
and some of the merchants who succeed
ed in saving portion of their goods
have already resumed business.
Ii is due largely to the persistent eff
forts Of the women Of the town that other
buildings we're not burned. They work.
ed shoulder to shoulder with the men in
pumping and carrying water to burning
buildings, and one courageous woman
was actually helping to pump the fire
engine. The colOred people are also
to be given credit for the manly work
they did.
Plans are already on foot to rebuild
the burned portion Of the town. 1t is
thought that the Town Council will al
low nothing but stone or brick buildings
to be erected.
