of said operator, it might be well to say
that, as it is never safe to sign docu-
ment without knowing It's contents, so
It IS not discreet to confide your secrets

The alarm of fire was sounded at
about ten O'Clock Monday evening and
MANY were drawn by clouds of smoke
and flame to the southern part of town,
where it was thought that some build
ing within the residence portion of the

park, the company was marched to the
hall to answer to roll call and to be
further inspected as to appearance of
uniforms and boxes. The manual of
arms was also gone through with. and
to the credit of the members it can be
said that the execution was good. Some
marching movements were ordered,
