methods, but these strange methods have
been the means of saving many souls. We
have had some good times in Portland and
we are going to have some more good times :;
we have fought some tough battles and we
are going to fight some more" Maj. Bryant
presented the colors which were accepted by

On Thanksgiving day the army will hold

give banquet to one hundred of the poorest

COMMITTEES on Wooden Building

The committee on new wooden buildings
granted a hearing yesterday afternoon to
parties interested in the erection of stable
at 10 Boyd street by Mr.. C. f. Rounds. AL
derman Cunningham called the meeting to
order, and Mr.. Rounds stated that he desired
to erect building on the second lot below
Cumberland street, on Boyd street, to be
used as livery and boarding stable.
A remonstrance against the erection of
said stable was presented by j. b. Donnen
and signed by him and % others.
Mr.. Donnell said that he was opposed to
having livery stable erected next to his
house because the noise and odor iof such an
establishment is not agreeable to him.
Mr.. Daniel Choate objected to it because
he thought 1t would increase the possibilities
of a fire, and George A. Gwynn was opposed
to the erection of the building for the same
reason, stating that 1t would increase the
rates OF insurance in that vicinity.
The hearing closed after Mr.. Gwynn
spoke, but the committee did not decide how
they would report to the Board of Mayor
and Aldermen
