Big Loss for Little City

The village of Necedah, in Juneau
county, experienced most disastrous
confagration on Wednesday last, when
thirty. five business houses and firms
were burned out, involving a loss Of
$500, 900 The main business street was
practically wiped out, nine places only
remaining. Roy Ware and his print
ing Office were spared from the de-
vouring clements. 1t is huge loss and
severe business disturbance for little
town at this particular season of the
year. The fire departments of New
Lisbon, Maustou, Adams and Grand
Rapids went to the relief of the strick-
en- town, rendering valuable assistance.

In making up the lists to be
remembered the CENSOR suggests
that the patrons on rural mail
lines keep in mind the carriers
who faithfully serve them every
working day of the year. These

perplexites in performing their
duties, and they are worthy to be
remembered with something that
their families, themselves or their
animals can use. Make a note Of
this suggestion.
