ton OF back numbers of the Armenia
Times, with the view of making COM
plete file from the beginning which
was April LIST, 1862. 1t is large un-
dertaking and it may not be possible

fire.

What .ght have been a very serious
fire occurred in the basement of the
NJ. E. Church. It was discovered by
worknen who were passing by the
church on their way TO work. They
noticed what at first looked like steam
on the windows but upon Investigation
iG proved to be smoke. The alarm was at
ocne sent in and soon there WAS a ready
response from the townsmen and in a
short time the hydrante were turned on
and the fire soon checked. No damage
was done by tho fire excepting the
basement. The origin of the fire is I'M
known as there had been no fire in the
church since Sunday a. m. but it is
thought it might have been due to
smothered ashes which had doubtless
been shoulder ng for some time before
it broke out. Il was most fortunate that
it happened as it did. for had it hap
pened few hours earlier or had the
wind been blowing a gale the result
would have been a very black looking
corner as there are 80 many buildings
closely attached On that corner.
