Soon after . o'clock last Friday evening,
fire broke out in the rear second-story room
of Gray, Toynton & Fox's candy factory in

became panic stricken and made rush for
the fire escape. In descending the ladder
one of them fell and was slightly injured
Three girls remained in the room and were
seen at window, but the flames burst through
and drove them back. When the fire was ex-
tinguished their dead bodies were found lying
near the window, with the trunks and limbs
untouched, but the faces blackened by the
flames

Advertise PnbIic sales.

An exchange says: ''When public sales are
held, the interest in the case depends very
much upon the number in attendance. The
greater the gathering, as a rule, the greater
the rivalry in buying. The sale must there
fore be well published. The most effectual
way to do this is to place the advertisement in
your home paper, that it may come under the
view of everybody. Everybody reads the
paper while but comparatively few see the
sale bills. 1t will cost you more to publish
your sales in the papers, but nothing will
make better and surer return for the outlay;
all who have tried it agree that it is the cor
rect thing to do"

This drama, although presented by the
Society two years ago, passed off with great
success, and in manner that would do credit
to any organization. To single out any one
character in order to compliment would be
doing an injustice to the others, as each role
was well sustained. The Philomatheans may
feel contented in the fact that another success
has been added to the many others that have
attended their Society since its organization.

Gambler Items.

The excitement over the election has passed
away and everybody seems to have settled
down 10 business again as before the great
event. We know of no one in this little
village aspiring for any position out of the
many thousands to be handed out by the new
administration. As whole, we, the Demo
Gratis of this neighborhood, expect the post of
fee to be handed over to our worthy friend,
N. Benson, be being the only Democrat in
business in the place. He has the most suita-
bic place and also is amply qualified for post
master.
| On Tuesday one of our stores changed
hands, Mr.. VIM P. Shilling selling out to
Mr.. Wesley Barnes. Good luck to Mr..
Barnes. We have not heard of him receiving
a horse shoe as yet, but feel sure from our
knowledge of the large circle Of friends Mr..
Barnes has, that he will do well at merehan
dizing.
Our little town has improved very much of
late, in the way of building and increase of
population. We now have population by
actual count of 1S0-about so children of
school age, and no schoolhouse nearer than
two miles. We think our school commission
ers should see to this matter and give us
school house. However, if there is a point
in the county where a house is more needed,
then we are willing to hold off and wait
turn, otherwise we think we come next. We
can give a school so scholars to start with,
and none of them would have to come over
three hundred yards to get to the school.
Fox chasing is the leading sport with the
sporting fraternity just at this time. There have
been two very fine red foxes turned loose
within the last few days at Capt. Beasman's,
the home of the Hon. Johnzey E. Beasman,
one and half miles south of this village, on
Morgan's run. The foxes were bagged by
Messrs Beasman and Henry Griffee. Both
foxes made good their escape in front of
large packs of selected hounds.
Partridge shooting has about played out, the
boys having exhausted the supply.
The good people of the neighborhood have
decided to hold protracted oyster supper at
Providence NJ. P. Church, of this place, on the
evenings of 25th, 26th and 9th inst From the
extensive preparations that are being made,
it looks as though all who patronize it will
have good time; proceeds to go to building
a new parsonage at Finksburg, Md.
If you have an overplus of good shoemak-
ers, please pass one this way; married man,
if you please. He would have no time for
sparkling. Plenty of work and no shoemaker
within three miles of the place. We have 2
wheelwrights, 2 blacksmith shops, 2 hotels,
stores, all doing good living business.
