New three story brick block!  The business required a bigger building for some time.  The quarters occupied by [[McClure and Hinton]], SW corner of the square, have been too cramped and became a serious question as to what course to persue to accommodate the firm’s large, increased business.  The location of the firm having been synonymous, it was finally determined that the best thing to do was remove the building which was agreeable with Mr. [[Quimby (surname) | Quimby]], the owner of the building.  The storeroom and workshop of [[McClure and Hinton]] will be torn down and a new and splendid three story building erected  in its place.  The work required to complete the building will be about two months.  A new foundation is not necessary.  While the building is being in the course of construction, the firm will occupy temporary quarters adjoining but will return to the old stand when completed with large, new stock. The old one being sold on account of lack of room in the temporary quarters to be occupied.

Two fires in a night!  Saturday Daily.  The old landmark known as the old [[Robison Mill]] is no more.  Fire at midnight entirely consumed the structure which stood 65 years as a monument to the enterprise of David [[Robison (surname) | Robison]] Sr., one of the pioneer families of the county.  A few minutes before 12 o’clock, persons residing near the mill discovered that the old building was on fire.  JW [[Phillip (surname) | Phillip]], one of the owners of the property south of where the building stood, was aroused and with the aid of his family managed to get the stock out of the barn.  The police officers by that time, had seen the blaze and turned in the alarm at box 24 on the square.  The mill was allowed to burn as it was seen that all efforts to save any portion of the building would be fatal.  All that remained to mark the spot where the building stood was the foundation with a few of the heavy charred timbers.  Mr. [[Phillips (surname) | Phillips]] of the firm of [[Smith and Phillips]] was interrogated as to the theory of the fire and the city could assign no other cause than incidenal.  They declared that neither Mr. [[Smith (surname) | Smith]] or Mr. [[Phillips (surname) | Phillips]] had any enemies of whom they knew.  RJ [[Smith (surname) | Smith]], senior member of the firm, was of the opinion the flames originated from combustion in the dust room.  Mr. [[Smith (surname) | Smith]] estimated the loss at 8500.  The mill for years, had been run solely as a custom mill.  It had been owned and managed by the following firms; 1st by the builder David [[Robison (surname) | Robison]] than by James [[Alexander (surname) | Alexander]], David [[Pollick (surname) | Pollock]] and AW [[Boyd (surname) | Boyd]], [[Smith (surname) | Smith]] and [[Phillips (surname) | Phillips]] for the past 14 years.
