The m eeting now ealle«l is to I k * a mass one of patrons of the district when the needs will be fully explained and a vote taken.

Fenton received a telephone message last evening from Airlie ap- prising him of the total destruction by fire Tuesday evening of Simpson Bros, large general merchamlise store there. The building occupied by them was re­ ally two buildings udjoining each other, one being used for the>r dry goods d e­ partm ent and the other for groceries.
