For years it has been the custom in
this town to celebrate Christmas eve by
a huge bon fire in the centre of the
Square. This year the property owners
were afraid their houses would be in
jured or destroyed, and called upon the
town authorities to protect them by for
bidding such fires. There was much
feeling about the matter, some contend
ing that according to the ordinance the
Commissioners were helpless to prevent
it, and others that they had power to do
50. After consulting counsel they de-
cidcd that they had no authority to in
terfere and the big policeman was not
instructed to make arrests of any one
engaged in this sport. The consequence
was the circle was occupied almost the
whole night by crowd that was SO
noisy and dcmonstrativc that ii was
almost impossible for those living in
that part OF the town to get any sleep
until near morning, and 40 one had
authority to put opto it.
The big policeman, OF whom the
town has been so proud, and who has,
heretofore, maintained good order, it is
said became disguslcd at his inability
to preserve the peace and has sent in
his resignation. This is Il positive loss
30 the town and il the ordinances are
not sufficiently strict to enable the
baIiff to preserve order they Shollld at

ten men, who were standing around

easy targets for the negroes, who fired
