on Stone Run, mile and half northwe st

ten and eleven o'clock on Thursday night
during the heavy gust, and totally de-
stroyed by fire. Mr.. Woollens was arous-
ed by the reflection of the FIRE on the barn

A quantity of lumber was thrown from
the sawmill but was burned before it
could be moved to place of safety.
Luckily the wind was blowing from a
quarter that prevented the flames from
communicating to the nearby dwelling
and barn, and the heavy rain falling
during the fire materially assisted in pre-
venting the flying fire brands from setting
other property in blaze.
The flour mill had been greatly inn
proved few years ago by the installing
of roller process machinery at an expense
of So, 500. The loss will reach fully So, 900
