Bloomington (Monroe County, Indiana) Progress, January 3, 1872, p. 3. Chips and Splinters. We regret to learn that our energetic young fellow citizens, Slocomb & Gaither, of the Planing Mill, met with a serious loss, on Thursday last. A dry kiln in which had been placed a quantity of lumber, caught fire on the day above designated, and the kiln and contents were soon reduced to ashes. Loss, about $600. The lumber was to be worked into flooring for the Bedford court house--------------- Constance T.
