AFTER
THE FIRE.
Flotsam and Jetsam of the
Great Conflagration.
Aftermath of the Most Destructive Blaze
That Has Visited Jennings Since the
Establishment of the Town.
That Jennings; Phoenix like,
is rising grander, nobler and
uore substantial from the ashes
of a direful disaster, is apparent
upon every hand.
You cannot obstruct the on
ward progress of a nervy and
courageous peopqle be the caltun
- ity ever so sore and far-reaching
in its direful consequences.
e Fvidences are multiplying
hourly throughout the bur:ned
district to bring order out of
chaos, system antd co:cltit o, n;
tion in clearing the waste plla:ces
and erecting thereon fitting men- 1
cments to the untiring ::.ll and
indefatigable labors of a progres
G sive community.

The following (dia.lrah,, (t,

doubtless give a clear-er idea as

That there has oeen a very
able-bodted and strenuous hick
against the establishment of the t
1ire limits goes without question.
and yet still others equally in
terested in the town's mater"ial
progress, claim 'that the provis
ion will operate ti, the ultimate 1
good of the entire conlinmoinity.
Mr. McFarlaiu is today ias
cheerful as if nothing had ever
occurred to mniar the even toner
of his way in life's pathway.
The smoke had not ceased to
curl from the blackened heap
that marked the spot of his for
mer elegant and costly estab
lishment, before lie was en
gaged in rearing a tempora.iy
