st. Marys, w. Va, May 20.-The
town council has decided to call spe-
cial election for the purpose of voting
on bonding the town for the construc-

buildings are constructed, almost with
out exception, from wood, and a fire
can not but prove disastrous. The pro-

of both with the cold storage feature
added, and will cost about $1,000.
