Herman Colchin, manufacturer of • the N. H.

William mackburn, one of the pioneer residents of the city, recalled to j mind this morning that this —Januaryj. ;» r( l— was the thirty-second anniver- 1 sary of a great tire that worked great h devastation among the buildings of what was then the little town of Decatur. Among the buildings destroyed were the 1. J. Miesse hotel and stables belonging to A. R. Bell and R. Burns. A horse was burned with one of the stables. The conflagration and great loss made a general stir among the Inhabitants of the town and was a much-talked of event. WERE RESTING EASIER. J. L.

“I’M A LIVELY CORPSE.’’ Said J. B. Drummond When He Came Down Town Today. When J. B. Drummond camo down town this morning after a week’s confinement to his home on account of illness, he found the report of his death spread about. "Well, I'm a pretty lively corpse, anyhow,” he added. ‘ Even if I don't feel just the best.” Mr. Drummond conducts the stand at the corner of Court and Second streets and is at his post nearly ‘ ever}’ day in the year, so that his absence, when it does occur, is very no- ' tlceable to his many friends. o REVIVAL AT MT.
