LARGE BARN BURNED.

On Friday, December 3, a large barn belonging to Lee s. Dickinson, which was located on the back road. just east of where George Buyank is building his new house, was burned to the ground with all it's contents. About 1 o'clock in the afternoon Ethan Allen discovered the barn to be on fire and gave the alarm at once and hastened to the barn. He was the first one to reach the place but when he got there the interior of the barn wall all a mass of flames and nothing could be done to save any of it's contents. Several others gathered but could only watch it burn to the ground. MT Dickinson loses, besides the barn which was very larg. one, 12 or 15 tons of hay, 19 acres of. tobacco hanging in the barn, sulky blow, wheel harrow and other farming tools. His loss will reach between $2500 and S3O00 and he only had insurance of $500 on the barn and contents. Michael Keane, who was seen near the barn shortly be- fore it was discovered to be on fire, is supposed to have started the fire and was arrested the same day. He was brought before Justice David Sanford the next day who found sufficient evi- dence to bind him over to the next term of the Superior court, and not being able to furnish bail, was taken to the county jail at Litchfield. to await his trial. which will take place on Tuesday, February s.

Mrs Edith Wharton's latest story, Afterwards, will be the fiction feature of the January Century. It will prove the kind of story, it is promised, to set readers tongues to wagging. The tale is of an Ameri- can couples finding of an English country home and their joy therein, and of the strange and tragic fate that followed them; but no outline of plot can give any suggestions of the uncanny mystery with which Mrs Wharton has worked out her climax. The story will have unusual illustra- tions, by Blumenschein.

Detailed information concerning the
identity of the lord of high nobility is
unobtainable. but the directness of the
advertisement leads to the conclusion
that, as they say In commercial transac-
lions, the seller has the goods and can
deliver them
Recent quotations In titles (. o. b. vary
There seems to have been an upward
trend In the market lately. and experts
are unabio to assign a logical reason for
the willingness of the present holder to
unload, although the bulls are confirmed
in their position by the fact that the
present advertiser insists that a large
sum OF money must be exchanged for
the title.
The title market has not been -bearish

such q large block as is comprised In
