Tho Big 81. Fair.
Saturday, February 12, is the day fixed
for the opening of the grand fair for the
benefit OF the Humane fire company, No. g,
of this city. The fair will be held in the
hall of their new building. West King
street, recently erected at considerable ex.
pense. There are many useful and valu-
able articles to be voted for, shown in the
windows of a number Of our business
houses among which are two watches
(gold and silver) at Aug. RhOads's, two
dOuble-barreled breech-lOading shOtguns
at Buchmiller's, two bicycles ut LOcher's
drug store, organ and bass violin at
Shreiner's music store, sewing machine at
the Domestic office, butchers tools at
Russell s. Shulmyer's coal Office. Turkish
pipe at Stehman's s cigar store, cigar-maker's
tools at Zeirs. East Chestnut. Owing to
the recent erection Of their new and hand
some building, the Humane is in debt,
and no doubt our citizens will contribute
literally towards aiding them to again get
back to solid financial basis. The men,
bers of the "Big6" are sturdy fire'nen,
and their unselfish labOrs in fighting the
flames and protecting property are worthy
Of generous acknowledgement.
