Quite an unlucky thing happened
on Saturday on tbs farm of Mr.. and
Mrs. Sherman Green, at Brownsville.
One Of their houses that was occu-
pied by a colored family, Dan Simon,
was burned to the ground and moth
ing was saved. Simon was in Annap-
oils at the time and his wife became
30 excited tnat she ran out OF the
house and left the baby Afterwards
she remembered the child and ran
back through ell the fire and brought
the child out. They saved nothing
and are now without home or bed

What help TO the farmers and
families having the parcel post
Quite number Of people are now
taking advantage of it and it is such
help, az it saves having to go to an
express office, as the post brings you
packages right to your door. May it
continue and its name become known
everywhere.
Again things are being stolen. This
time it is known who are taking what
does not belong to them, as the boat
house and the summer home OF Mr..
Leonard Mather, of Warrington, D.
c., has been broken iato and a great
deal of damage done and also the
fisherman's shanty on Little Round
Bay and traps and other articles
taken and the parties have been seen
with the goods, and the owners will
see that they are punished to the ex-
'treme extent of the law. 1t is great
shame that people cannot lock up
their places and know that they are
safe from house breakers. 1t is
becoming quite a regular thing for
these same parties to visit different
places and let their fingers tamper
with what does not belong to them.
