Cyrus M., Tice has just completed a combined ice house and woodshed with cement foundations and floors. This week W. E. Confer surround- od his lot with a new standard wire fence and put a new cedar roof upon his front porch, making his property much more presentable The street authorities have done a good deal of additional work on Black street, and made a fairly good approach to the alley near the resi- dence of A. C. Leathers, Albert Pifer has completed a fine concrete walk in front of his residence, and a set of concrete steps leading from it to the level of the front porch. In this connection it seems well to call attention to a sort of petty van- dalism which once and a while breaks out and tends to nulify much of the effort which is made by public spirit- ed citizens for the improvement of their premises, through contributing their share to betterment of the whole town. Reference is made to marring pavements with chalk marks, littering them with paper, peanut shells, banana skins, cigarette packs and the like, and In some case, un- thinkable as it may be, entering upon well kept lawns and mutilating them in various ways, including even the trampling of coming flowers and ornamental shrub The former may be partly charged to thoughtlessness, but the latter can only be regarded as malicious mischief. The jatest in- stance of this was the recent partial destruction of the handsome bed of cannas and other fine and costly plants on the lawn of Charles E Yearick. Mrs. Yearick and her fam- ily are experts in flower growing and their lawn is carefully kept, and in conjunction with the equally beauti- ful one of their next door neighbor, Mrs. John Holmes, constitutes one of the attractive of our village and the wilful of it in the manner described, offense the whole community dentity of the guilty party in particular in- stance known as was clearly seen by a member o family, but out of the kindness of their hearts they decline give his name for publication. This forbearanc should not be expected to continue always, and the possibility of names appear- ing in an unpleasant relation when such stories are told, Is always present the 8 spots abuse an The is to this is he f the to to be Among Our Sick.

A large portion of her clothing was burned away but she was herself not seriously injured, and managed to get out of the room with them and run back to the malin part of the house and bring out the baby. In the meantime the fire had communicated from the clothing of the children to their bodies, and be- fare she could subdue it, they wore both badly burned, the oldest one so seviotsly that she may not survive. The house was a frame sirocture, and the flames swept It and practi. cally all its contents out of existence in a short time, leaving the family homeless and helpless, as there was no Insurance. It Is presumed that a small quantity of powder had been left in the can, but how it eame to be exploded is, as yet, a mystery. tor Renewing its Youth. : A large and old crab apple tree In the garden of the old James Mahaffey property, (now the “Green Front") leaved out and blossomed last spring, in the most natural way. The se- vere late frosts destroyed practically all the blossoms, but the tree lived on and such bloom as was left, devel fruit which came to nearly full size. Suddenly the tree sickened, shed all its follage, and soon was, to all ap- pearance, dead.
