Had the wind changed the slightest.
Neville's, MacMurphy's, and the whole

gone. On the other hand had it
varied the least, Fitzgerald, Stadel

all that portion of town would have
gone, antl should it have turned to
the east or south, all Main Street
might have disappeared. As it was
the fire was kept wonderfully in
check, by Dr. Livingston, Mayor
Johnson and others, who rushed into
the melee, commanded the forces, and
saved the town. Not because they did
the most physical work, but because
they were the only parties who had

From Wednesday's Daily.
The near approach of the spring
season has aroused the city authorities
to the necessity of opening early in
the season the clean-up campaign to
make the community better in every
way fo the rummer months. The
city is preparing to co-operate with
the property owners in this campaign,
and as soon as weather conditions will
permit the work will be taken up by
the prograssive citizens and the city.
Mayor J. P. Sattler will soon have his
clean-up proclamation ready and set
ting the date when the community can
join in the movement. During the
winter months there is always a great
deal of debris accumulated around the
yards and alleyways that in the sum
mer will present a very unsightly ap
pearance, and should by all means be
removed. It is a matter of a very
little trouble and time to clean up a
lot and the street and alley adjoining,
and the work will be very gratifying
to the property owner after the work
is completed. The general appear
ance of the city should be a source
of pride to everyone who makes their
home in the city, and there is no bet
ter way to make things attaractive
than a little labor on "clean-up day."
Let every one get into the band
wagon and prepare to assist in the
good work on that date, that the
mayor of the city will set for it. Rake
up the yards and lawn and trim the
trees and prepare for the glad spring
time, when the world will take on its
gown of green, and be all ready for
the enjoyment of neat and attractive
surroundings to your home or business
house. ,
ARRIVAL OF A FINE ROY.
From Tuesday's Daily.
Last evening the home of Mr. and
Mrs. Glen Edwards in the south por
tion of the city, was made happy by
the advent of a fine little eight-pound
.-on and heir that arrived there shortly
before 8 o'clock. The occasion has
brought untold joy to the proud par
ents, and the other relatives share in
the happiness that the blue-eyed baby
boy has brought to the home. The
many friends of Mr. and Mrs. Ed
wards will join in wishing the young
man, Glen, jr., many years of happi
ness and that he may be a comfort to
the parents in the years to come. Both
the mother and little one are doing
nicely.
