front Of the post office, along the canal
bank by the old cannons, as monument
TO our two boys who lost their lives in
the service of their country during the
worlds war: they were Albert II.
. Thompson and John L. Morris. The chief
speaker during the exercises which We're

pletely destroyed the two-story frame
dwelling house last Monday on Chestnut
street, owned by J. Henry Thompson,
and in tenure Of Isaac Tingle, colored.

roof, and the timely arrival Of the Lewes

what might have resulted in a large fire;
as the wind was blowing strong from the

streams on the blaze it was soon ex-
tinguished.
