ANOTHER WARNING.

We have frequently incur columns had
occasion 10 ailudc 20 the lack of our
means Tor coping with fire. We are COZ
strained to again refer 10 the subject by
the recent fire IN our village. To sec men
absolutely without organization running

but without means, purpose ordirection
carving water in pals, pans and even
lin dishes. not even knowing where To get
AT vessels nor where TO apply the water
.o rs not to waste half OF the little they
could get is a scene which bcggars de
scriptiou Speaking plainly such imbeci.-
ity. carelcssnesS and wantOn exhibition
of a lack of care, enterprise or solicitude
for the safety of our property and our
homes is, putting it in the mildest terms
objectionable supincncSs If not almost
criminal neglect. Less than one-hali the
toll and energy exercised by few mdi-
viduals on such occasions if we'll directed
and with proper means would do more
for the safety of our property besides Civ,
ing feeling of security than all the spas
modic efforts with such want of prcpar-
alton and materials as we have above
alluded to. When menrush to fire with
plenty of physical means and find the ny
drants locked with no means to procure
water from them, nobody having any
knowledge of even who has charge OF
them, and men are running wildly about
irving to find anything, even pals in
which to carry water, K is high time
that our people should awake from such
objectionable indifference as they are in.
1t is passing strange that people as en-
terprising, as intelligent, and as public
spirited as our5s and especially so keen
" alive to the building up and extension
of our town or village should be so abso-
lutcly Indifferent to its destruction. II
this thing continues disaster will come
upon us which will aW AIKEN our people to
such an extent that no feeble protest o.
ours will be longer required. Will some
thing be done, or shall we quietly and in
differently await an event which vii
surely come? Although perhaps the build
ing referred to could not have been saved
even If we had proper and necessary ap
planes, vet the lesson is none the les!
important and instructive.

July 9-Schools in No. three and four
closed last week School in No. three
had for a teacher Mrs. Mary L. Fuller, a
truly veteran teacher, she having taught
nearly seventy terms of school. She is
still very enthusiastic in the business and
has a genuine love of children and of
school teaching. She has given satisfac-
ton to all and it is expected she will
have the school next term. School in
No. four was taught by Miss Mary
Williams. This has been her first term
and she has given very good satisfaction.
Miss Williams evidently has the tact and
ability necessary to constitute fine
teacher.
Miss Annie Madigan is seriously i'll.
Her complaint seems to be an affection of
the heart. DR.. Carpenter of North
Strattord attends her.
The sudden death of Judge Storrs
caused genuine sorrow among his friends
in this place, and the strongest sympathy
is felt for Mrs. Storrs for the many sor.
rows she has been called to pass through
during the past year.
