EDNA N. CUMMINGS, Secretary.
Az recorded in another column, Paris
Hill was visited by disastrous fire last
Thursday afternoon, the home Of Col.
and Mrs. Edward T. Brown being COM
pletely destroyed. Besides the loss and
discomfort to those Immediately con-
cerned, it is q calamity to the village to
have one Of its best residences reduced
to ashes. Much credit 10 due everyone
who assisted In saving 90 many OF the
household goods. Besides the goods OF
Col and Mrs. Brown, those of Major and
Mrs. George z. Turner were also stored
in the buildings and Mrs. Turner and
her children were occupants Of the
Brown home. It was Q most fortunate
circumstance that this FIRE occurred In
the daytime as otherwise the loss would
have been much greater and might have
included the lives of some Of the occu-
pants, of whom there were eight ut the
time. The rescued goods have been
stored at the Academy and former court
house and Mrs. Hubbard has kindly
opened the Hubbard House for the
accommodation of the family for . few
days until they can decide upon and
make other arrangements. II 10 most
earnestly hoped by all that Col. Brown
will decide to erect q new house upon
bis fine lot Of land here.
