Fire.

\ portion of Mrs Amanda Folks
house, Maple street, WAS burned
Wednesday night about IL! o'clock
Owing to the distance from the fire
departments headquarters some delay
in sounding the alarm was occasioned.
Meanwhile the fire gained great head
way. 1t was bad, cold night, but the
laddies got there IN force with all their
apparatus. The first blast from the
nozzle showed that the new water
system was master of the situation
and soon the fire was completely eX

was saved and those adjoining. The
loss, exclusive of some damage to
household goods, was not over $4O0.

Christmas and New Year Gifts

Among the former received by the
JOURNAL was a box of game-a pair
of pheasants and dozen cartridges
from Fairmont, w. Va. They were
fine eating. With quail on toast, :"
hardly anything else has any taste.
The JOURNAL shared literally in q
barrel of oysters shipped from Norfolk,
Va, by F. A. Porter to his father,
John L. Porter, of this place, and they
eXcelled all oysters ever seen in this
locality. The memory of "that chat
ing dish will linger with the JOURNAL
as an individual so long as oysters are
mentioned in Its hearing.

JOURNAL for New Year a souvenir
Columbian half dollar, vintage of

Joseph Bear said Cumberland had
been posing as the second city of the
State, yet could not provide water to
protect the county's property. If
county will build new courthouse here
we guarantee plenty water for fire pro-
lection and no typhoid microbes or
germs OF animalcuLae in it either He
thought it ought to be here, because
Frostburg is more homogeneous to
the people who pay the taxes than
Cumberland is.

the following paper:
