The Balls in Florida

In the January issue of the Brad
entown -(Fla.) Herald, we quote the
following items referring to New
port people:
al. j. Ball and wife have their new
bungalow, sfThe Canary" at 5O7
Academy street, practically complet-
ed and are comfortably settled. 1t is
a beauty inside and they are partic-
ularly proud of it because he and his
brother, Edward, built it all them
selves, except the fundation and
chimney, since they arrived last fall
The paper further states that Ed.
S. B. Ball and wife are entertaining
their daughter, Mrs. Percy Fee and
granddaughter, Miss Enid, at their
home in the Booth cottage on Mag
nolia street. They are all from
northern Vermont, and it is needless
to say they like Bradentown."
The paper also reports that al. J.
Ball has purchased the Hail property
511 Academy street. When he re
turns next fall he will reconstruct the
old house into two modern bungalows,
putting one on the Central street end
of the double lot. Mr.. Ball believes
in the future of Bradentown and sees
its great need of suitable small dwell
ings to house the crowds that are
coming"
'EMiss Helen Mitson and Miss Glen
Severance of Newport, Vermont, are
visiting their friends, Mr.. and Mrs.
Herbert Ball at 507 Academy street
They are delighted with Braden-
town.
Bradentown may have one on us
for short time at this season of the
year, but just wait until about May
first, and then Florida can't hold a
| candle to Vermont for about six
months. Naturally we are a little
jealous of our Newport friends en-.
joying themselves in Bradentown
when we wake up and find it about sc
below zero some morning.

$4,000 FIRE IN NEWPORT
With Stock and Machinery Fire
Spectacular One

Just before p. m, Wednesday,
Feb. II, the Bigelow & Norris bobbin
mill on Clyde street, Newport, was
discovered on fire by Mr.. Bigelow,
who was in the office. Smelling smoke
he made investigation and found bags
of bobbins on fire on the second floor
and with help succeeded in nearly ex-
tinguishing the flames when the fire
suddenly got beyond control.
The mill being of very infiamable
nature the fire spread very rapidly
and the three-Story structure, 36XS0
feet, with three new dry kilns, all
machinery and $4,000 worth of stock
was a total loss, only material from
the Office being saved.
The fire was a most spectacular one,
lighting up the whole city while it
lasted and the crowd it drew into the
streets was one of the largest seen for
a long time.
There being no hydrants in this 10
cality the arrival of the city fire de-
partment awaited but little, though
protection to the buildings on the
Human place was given by men on
the roofs and the chemical engine was
ready for use.
The loss is estimated at about $780,
600, with insurance covering about
three-fourths of that amount.
The firm of Bigelow & Norris, COM
posed of C. f. Bigelow, druggist, and
Arthur Norris, has done an increas-
ing bobbin business and it is the plar
of the company to rebuild, but then
location will probably be on the line
of railroad and where there is fire
protection.
1t is not known how the fire origin
rated. Mr.. Norris had left the mil
only about half an hour before anC
| the night watchman, Frank Stevens
was not due until 6 o'clock, the fir,
breaking out in the short space which

Norris and the coming of the nigh

eo.MlIE DRY ZONE FOR MEXICO

New York; Aug. 3.--To the man
up the tree it looks as though that
dry spot is spreading.
The Mexican authorities, accord
ling to a recent~telegram from the
city of Mexico, have determined to
stamp out the wholesale exploitation
of vice along the American border,
where the worst elements of both ma
lions have foregathered during the
lpast five years. !"
There is more coming. The Amer
lean authorities also, having taken
into consideration the fact that drink
Ing, horse racing, cock fighting, faro
banks, craps, roulette, the old army
game and other forms of impure and
noisy amusement are to be found by
crossing an imaginary line, are said
to have under>consideration the MAX
ing of a request to Mexico to estab-
lish 6O-mile dry zone on the Mexi-
can side.

la request would have brought the

is very apt to listen pleasantly to the
suggestion. No member of it pre-

house cleaning is nowhere more poig-
