Former Residents to Return.

There is no doubt but that the bi-cen- ternial celebration will be the greatest event the town has ever known. For mer1 residents who have not visited the town in several years will find many changes for the better in the appear ance of its business section.
 About two years ago it will be re- membered this section of the town was swept entirely clean by fire and many of the old land marks were wiped out Now modern business blocks of yellow pressed brick have taken the places of the old wooden buildings that formerly made up the business section of the town.
 Though this fire threatened to wipe the town out of existence and did prac- tIcally paralyze trade for the time be- ing the rapidity with which the mer- chants and others rebuilt and the class of buildings which replaced the old structures are ample proof of their loy- atty and affection for their home sites.
