The house on Main street. occu-
pied by Lafayette Simmons and be-
longing to E. NJ. Arbogast, was
discovered to be on fire Sunday ev-
ening, but fortunately in time to
be extinguished by the prompt ap-
plication of water. This is anoth-
er reminder that we should provide
some means of protecting our town
against this destructive element.
Warming after warning has been
given and it is onl y counting loss
of valuable property, if not of life,
to let them pass unheeded. Ger
tainly no one will refuse giving
something toward raising sum
sufficient to pay for the making Of
two or three good ladders to be
placed at convenient points in diff
ferent parts of the town. Such
precautions though simple and in
expensive, may amply repay the
tritiing cost incurred in their pro-
vision.
If money cannot be raised by
private subscription let the next
appropriation made by the Coun-
Gil be in part for this purpose. De-
lay is dangerous.

Proceedings Of Board Of Super.
YiSOrS.

Board convened on the 9th inst
and transacted some Important
business.
| Settlements were made with the
county treasurer closing up his
transactions in the Disbursement OF
road fund, which came to his hands
from each of the three districts in
the county. The settlement for
Bluegrass shows a balance of $119
.23 in the hands of the Treasurer
which remains as district fund.
Settlements in tie other districts
show small balances in favor of the
Treasurer, who is REIN bursed out of
fund for county purposes.
For letting, the Board divided
the S. & 2. road into four sections
instead of three as formerly. lst
section extends from top of Allie
ghany to top of mountain west of
Monterey. End section extends
from the latter point to the Stand
ing rocks on Crab Run, Bird Sec
ton extends from said rocks to
Shaws Fork, and the 4th from
thence to the east end at Cross's;
and J, T'rimble, the superintendent
directed to advertise for sealed bids
for repairing and keeping in repair
the several sections above described |
the general work of facing up the
road to be completed by the 18th
of June next, said superintendent
to fix specifications for same.
Being confronted with the fact
that about $4,000 of county bonds
lue the LIST day of June, 1893, are
outstanding without funds in the
hands OF the treasurer to meet
hem; according to the provisions
If an act Of the Legislature of Va,
or the purpose, the Board appoint
ID J. A. Jones and L. H. Stephen
on agents for the county to nego. ,
late loan for the redemption of
he said bonds, and to secure the ,
Oan bonds at a rate of interest not {
xceeding6 per cent, payable in

'oard, will be issued with coupons
or interest attached, payable semi +;
nnually. These bonds. we under {
land, will be foated as soon as the C

The county has reason for self Z
generalization that she has been
bic to carry her other burdens and
twenty years reduce this large
ebt of $4,000 to $4,000.
