their own voting, and who have neither
fear nor regard for the lash, nor
for those who wield it and still they are
Republicans and believe in equal rights
and in equal representation for all.

was destroyed by fire with only sjwi.ooo,
insurance in effect. Two stahles were
burned with it. The fire was first seen
by Mrs. W. Craniner, who lives near
the mill on the west side, at 9:00 a. m.,
she immediately gave the alarm by
screaming fire until hoarse which awak
ened others and the whrtle town was
aroused and a desperate tight followed
for the preservation of property. By
the time the people were gathered and
bucket brigades formed the fiiv was be
yond control and the nearby buildings
manned. Large chunks of burning
wood and sparks were thrown all over
the npper part of town. All roofs ex
cept the tin and slate were mounted
with men who bravely fought the de
stroying element for one hour when the
mill and two stables lay in ashes
Many men on the nearby buildings
were scorched and blistered and a num
ber of courageous women were at the
pumps through town pumping and
carrying water in pails working and ex
hausting their strength even while
strong bodied men stood and looked on.
The light of the fire reflected in conn
try houses four miles from town and
ashes fell over one mile out of town. A
brisk wind was blowing from the west
which with the intense heat made a ter
rific fire.

D. Van Vechten as manager owned th
mill and but a abort time ago spent
over &>,ooo, in repairs and were nearly
ready for extensive work.

property in its history. The old first
mill in Harmony was on Main St, where
the foundry was first built. The build
ing in which the machinery wan placed
was the granery of the Harmonite So
ciety,three stories high and lOOfeet long.
Milling machinery was placed in the
first story and a carding machine in th''
second. This mill, with a store and

A SPLENDID EXAMPLE
of the maker's skill ami otir value giving
in the line of
SUITS AND OVIiRCOATS
we have here.
The material used is that which is
generally i>tit into the products of the
high priced tailors, but our standard of
quality is a good many degrees nl>ovc
our staudutd of prices, so our goods all
value for much more than we ctarge.

reliable man to do the work, not
one that is here today and gone

the tuner (?)is at fa ilt. lam here
to stay and guaran e all work.
