BAD FIRE SATURDAY NIGHT The fire alarm called the voluu teer company to the block of stores owned by Mr. A. J. Porter last I Saturday night about nine o’clock. The lire had gained a cousiderauie headway before the alarm was given, and although the firemen responded promptly and did good work, the interior of the buildings, as well as their contents, was altuost a total loss beiore the !fire could be brought under control. Two of the stores were vacant. One store was occupied by the bicycle and gun shop of Mr. N. H. Parnell, and the shoe shop of Mr. P. H. Holley, The buildings were partially covered by insur¬ ance.

An Old-Fashioned Mother I hank God, some of us have, and others have had, an oldfash ioud mother. Not a woman of the period, enameled and painted, an esper, bridge player, where white jewelled fingers have never felt the clasp of her baby’s fingers, but a dear, okl fashioned, sweet-voiced mother,with eyes in which lovelight shone and browu hair threaded with ; j silver, lying smooth upon her faded cheek, Those dear hands, worn with toil, gently guided our tottering steps in child¬ hood and smoothed our pillow in sickness, even reaching out to us in yearning tenderness when her sweet spirit was passing through the cold, dark river. Blessed is the memory of an old fashioned mother. It floats to us now like beautiful perfume of some wood¬ land blossoms. The music of other voices may be lost, but the entrancing memory of her will echo in our soul forever. Other faces will fade away and be forgotten, but hers will shine ou until the heaven’s portals shall glorify cur own. When in the fitful pause of bus y life our feet wander back to the old homestead, and crossing the well worn threshold, standing once more iu the low, quaint room, hallowed by her preseuce, how the feeling of childish iunocnce aud. deoeudence comes over us and we kneel down in the mottled sun¬ shine streaming through the win clow—just where, long years ago, we knelt by mother’s kifee, lisping. me djjm U> slee ' * those sacred hours, of mother’s words, her faith and prayers, saved us from sin. Years have piled great drifts over between her and us, but they have not hidden from our sight the glory of her pure, unselfish love.—Milton Gazette. Try the Big 4 Shop and you'll come back. W. W.
