WASHINGTON, Oct. 3.-This afternoon the
Sharp County record., 1879-07-24
STRAWBERRY RtvEB, July 23d.

EDITOR RECORD: As an election
has been ordered for the 25th OF
August, to determine the will OF the
people Of Sharp county as to the
removal of the county seat from lts
present location, st Evening Shade,
to what the petitioners are pleased
to call "the town of Center,' and as
your columns will doubtless be at
the disposal of the advocates OF both
sides, I take the liberty of present
ing, for the careful consideration OF
the tax pay yers ofthe county wheth-
er petitioners or not, q few facts
which, according to my view, ought
to be deliberately weighed BY each
voter before be determines TO cast
his vote for removal.
In the first place, it viii be ad-
mitted by all that, although Eve
ming Shade is some distance from
the geographical center of the coun-
tv, It is much nearer and more con
venient to q very large majority OF
the population and tax payers than
the proposed location at Center, and
hence ig the center of pcp1IatIon'
There are about FIVE hundred voters
north of Strawberry who would be
nearer the county seat at Center,
while there are about one thousand
others south of Strawberry who are
much nearer and more convenient
to Evening Shade. -.
In the second place, the puoilc
buildings Of the county are already
erected and paid fer, at
Evening Shade. The court house,
now about eight years old, is IS com
modioug as the population Of the
county demands, and is as conTen'
iently arranged and as respectable in
appearance as majority Of the
court houses in the state, and as
much money as the election will cost
iudlcioaaly expended in buying a a
suitable iron cage for the JAZZ VIII
make that building perfectly saie'
Another important reason why the
removal should not be made at this
time, is the enormous expense which
would necessarily have to be incur
red to erect suitable public buildings
The county government is jus3 no" ~
gettitg out Of debt end in coudi
fion TO be successfully carried on
without oppression to the ta3 pay
| ers, while q removal would costalhly

AN EARLY MORNING BLAZE.

DESTRUCTION OF THE EXCHANGE STEAM MILLS
AND GRAIN ELEVATOR IN EAST STREET
ABOUT SIXTY THOUSAND DOLLARS.
Shortly after one o'clock this morning
fire was discovered in the large grain
mill at No. % East street, facing On
the East River. The building is of brick,
five stories in height, has a frontage
of seventy-ive feet and extends through
the block to Tompkins street. 1t is known
as the Exchange Steam Mills and Grain
Elevator, and is owned by d. ID. Man.
gum The fire first made its appear
ance in frame structure on the roof
and then extended downward, consuming
everything in it's way. In an incredibly
short space of time the entire building was
one mass of fame, which threat
ened to extend to the adjoining
property. The sparks from the burn
ing building fell on tho shipping
in the river near by, and it was found nee
essary to summon the police boat Seneca
and the steam fire tug Havemeyer to tow
several vessels into midstream. The fremen
struggled desperately but only succeeded at
two o'clock in getting the flames under
partial control, when the entire building
was all but Quilted. 1t is estimated that the
loss on stock. machinery and building will
not fall short Of $50, 000 The salt mills of
Lawrence & Co., adjoining, were badly
damaged by fire and water.
