A general store owned by Paul L.
Byler, at Mazeppa, was recently de~
stroyed by fire. The dwelling house
of the store proprietor was saved from
destruction by the use of pumpers
sent from Milton and Lewisburg. who
used water from a stream more than
one thousand feet distant. The fire
is supposed to have originated from an
overheated ofl stove on the second
floor,
What need an Aeirdale dog has for
a large butcher knife is what the men
and women engaged in butchering at
the C. T. Crust farm, cast of town,
were discussing at the supper table
one day last week. Whether or not
this particular dog had need of such
a knife, the fact is he carried one off
and buried #. It required some dee
tective work to locate the missing
knife, and ft was only after one of the
ladies recalled seeing the dog oarry
away what she thought to be a plece
of meat that the dog's “cache” wae
discovered, and the reputation of the
butcher's honesty saved for all time
