The essential points are that the
Rhode Island controversy was very Ike
that OF Ken,uCky, that IL was actually
taken 10 the Supreme Court on writ
of error and that the Court decided that
IL had no jur ursdiction.
That gives color OF course to the be-

Logue, G. L. Butler and Michael

K. Hockey was elected Commissioners

in every way qualified for the office

Solicitors for the ensuing year. George
Barker, who has efficiently filled the
position of Janitor for three years, was
reelected. The PRESS extends its best

Three Fires.

Last Sunday evening about o'clock
fire alarm was sounded which proved
to be the Cottage Hotel. A defective
fue caused all the trouble, and while
it looked as though the building was
doomed, at first sight, yet the fire lad
dies soon extinguished the flames, do
ing little damage. Only two of our
four companies, Mountaineer aud
Hooks, were called out
About six o'clock Tuesday morning,
the watchman employed at G. B. How
ard q Company's store, discovered
what would have proven serious in a
very few moments. One of the gas
stoves had ignited the floor, caused by
leak in the gas pipe near the stove
and when the watchman entered the
floor was badly scorched. The fire was
subdued and no damage to speak of
was the result.
At 1:30 Tuesday morning the fire
whistles aroused our citizens from their
warm beds. This time the fire proved
to be John CostelIo's barn, connected
with his hotel. The building was
quietly consumed, burning a COW and
two year old heifer together with the
contents. The Citizens Hose Co., was
called out This is the third fire in
week and we hope the "spell'' may be
broken for some time.

Thoughts of Long Ago.

E. T. Daugherty, who is attending
law school at Carlisle, Pa, was a PRESS
visitor last week, while enroute for
Pittsburg to visit with his mother be-
fore returning to school. When in
town he called to see the PRESS and
extend the compliments of the season.
While chatting with us he pulled from
I his pocket copy of the American
Volunteer, published at Carlisle, and
handed it to us for perusal. The paper
at once brought to our mind little
incident that took place.in the Fremont
Buchanan campaign when we were
only small boy. In that day political
parties were even warmer than at the
present time and the organization of
the Republican party rallied to it's
standard many young men. AS if
only yesterday, we remember that in
the parlor of our home hung a large
and beautiful picture of James Buch-
anan aud it did not seem proper to US
to allow it to remain there, so we
stole quietly into the room and taking
a rosewood cane that stood behind the
door, proceeded to demolish the un-
savory likeness of him who afterwards
proved to be one of the most unpopu-
lar Presidents ever chosen to preside
over the destinies of the Nation. After
completing this job we purchased a
flag and proceeded at once to the old
Volunteer office and had Gen. Ere
monts name printed in black type
across the flag and marched proudly
down HanoVOr street for home, feeling
that we were on the right track and
with the greatest party the world had
ever produced. Our flag soon attract
ed other boys and 'ere the day passed
we had the satisfaction Of seeing
many of our playmates imbued with
the same feeling. or course we felt
that that election would be decided by
the flag bearers and that we were the
whole thing. The boys siding with the
Democratic party soon organized and
attempted to haul down our flags, but
they failed, just as other men, all with
the Democratic party, attempted four
years later, but the party, the loyal
party of the Nation, stood grandly by
the flag and, aided by the loyal Demo
Gratis, most of whom ever after allied
themselves with the Republican party.
and saved this glorious country. While
not desiring to be egotistical the
thoughts of those boyhood incidents to
this day are very pleasant to remem-
Der and the sight of this old
journal, established in 1914, brought
this little incident to our mind, and
many others that occurred in those
stormy days, when the life OF our Ma
ton was rapidly nearing the danger
line. From the day we carried the
Fremont flag to this, we have labored
for that party, that grand party of
principles, and shall SO continue, no
doubt, as long as its principles are
those founded by the old Pathfinders
of'56.
