TRYOH HOSIERY MILL BURKED.
The Try on Hosery Mill, situat
ed at Lynn, was partialy de
stroyed by fire about 3 o'clock
Monday morning, Dec. 21st.
Th wooden building container s'
the engine and boiler and other
machinery, and the dye plant
was entirely destroyed.
The adjoining brick building
was damaged but not burned.
Arrangements are being made
for the erection of a brick build
ing in place of the one that was
.burned.
This was unfortunate for the
mill employees and the" business
of Try oh and Lynn which- re-J
ceived considerable aid irom
this industry.
