TIVIP' ROVING APPEARANCES.

g,evelling the dot which he,recently
bought fsieing „Mary street and will
sow itto grass. This will be offered
for the use of the old Boys' Commit-

proyement of thii property will add
much to the appearance of this sec=
thin of the ;town and, it is hoped Vhe
business people whose property backs
this lot will co-operate to the extent
..ef cleaning up their prernises'to cor-
respond. TMs will, we have no doubt,
be done, as everyone wants the old
town "to look its best for 'August.

With a mop, without a moment's
warning the gasoline burst into
flames and the room acting as a corn-
bustion chamber the furnes exploded

blown out smashing the big frame at
the bottom. 1VIiss Olive Hall, the
bookkeeper • Was burned about the
lower limbs as the fire ,spread over
the floor. There was very little dam-
age done outside of the shattered
plate glass window.
Since writing the above it is learn:
eci that Miss Hall also received bhd
burns on the hands and face and
would have been injured much more
seriously but for the quick action of
Mr. John Grenache, who extinguished
the flames about her clothing.
