The Lynn Evergreens.

Woodyille, Lynn Township, July 9.
The Evergreen Ladies' Aid Society
OF Lynn township, held a bazar and
picnic in the grove Of j. w. Wood on
July 4th, and to say that e one
had a good time would be putting it
light indeed.
An old fashioned picnic dinner was
an interesting feature to which sew
eral hundred people did ample justice
and then there was some. Rev.
Thompson who has charge Of this
part Of the Worthing parish was ora
tor of the day, and paid royal tribute
to our nations valor, and the Hon.
A. j. Kuhns in his genial address OF
welcome was a good second. There
was no lavish display of 4th OF July
demonstrations ave the necessary
small boys CRACKERS" but a jolly
good time was the verdict OF everyone
present.
This is the first bazaar held by the
Evergreen society and a very salts
factory one it proved, and especially
from a financial standpoint; the pro-
ceeds of the bazaar and refreshment
booth amounting to $50.
And let me say right here that the
ladies OF this society are deserving of
especial credit for the work they
have done since organizing three
months ago. inc.

Several Barns Burned.

About l2:30 Wednesday morning fire was discovered in the old barn on Elm street, in the rear of the Misses Pearce home. The flames had almost completely enveloped the build ing when the alarm was given and by the time the Fire Department get on the scene other buildings in the vii cinity were catching from the shower Jf fire which a brisk southwestern wind scattered over an area of more han a block.
 The barns and other sheds and out buildings of A. M. Carter, A. D.. Brooks and L. C. Owens were entirely destroyed before the flames were driven back
 The Catholic church, Jno. M. Smiths blacksmith shop. the N. C. Allen residence, Simmons Livery Sta hle and the house in front of the livery stable all caught fire from the flying sparks but were put out before much damage was done.
 Five hogs were burned to death ir the A. D. Brooks barn and lot o peas, hay, etc were destroyed. Con- siderable feed stuff of various kinds was stored in each of the burned barns, all of which was total loss.
 Owing 10 the distance of the scene of the fire from the nearest hydrant the fire had 10 be fought from the front, which was decided disadvan- tage in the high wind which prevailed the entire time. The nearest fire hy. drant is the one at the corner of Ast and Main streets, making four hun. dred feet the nearest way to the fire Considering the length of hose. the pressure was very good, though mol sufficient for very effective work at g distance. Both the hand pump and the hydrant hose were used but inc handpump was abandoned after litte while.
 The fire was discovered by Fred
