Editor Standard Deab Sir, â€" Would it not be advis able l:)r our village fathers to ofler a reasonable reward for the apprehension and conviction of the party or parties who set McKinno'j's harness shop on fire on Sunday morning last. That it was deliberately set on fire no one doubts, and all right-minded citizens would consider any money spent m convicting the guilty parties well in- vested. When fire bugs become so cheeky as not even to try to coyer up their work it becomes the duty of the people to stamp them out, and there is uo other way that I know of than to offer a reasonable reward to the person who will devote hisi time to the unravelling of the problem. Hoping that an attempt will be made to find out the guilty parties, I remain, yours, c.. Fair Play. Manle/s Faily Address and Presentation.
