MIcHAELsvnLE, December 17.-The
weather is just like woman. Its first
one thing then another. One day it is
hot enough to melt you and the next day
it is cold enough to freeze you.
1t looks as if Christmas will be very
scarce and high around here owing to
the crop being limited and guess we will
have to take hog for our Christmas
dinner. Mrs, George Shears, ofCole, has
however, been very successful in raising
turkeys. She will have nearly one
hundred to put on the market and they
are fine fowls. Mrs. George Ford also
has some nice ones.
Our school ma ans are preparing ami in
teresting programme for their Christmas
entertainment and will give the little tots
a good send off before taking their de-
parture to their respective homes.
Our ponds and runs are filled to over
flowing with pure clean water from the
heavy rain which felllast Saturday night.
We hope that the present condition OF
the weather will prevail until our ice
houses are filed to OVERLOOKING with the
much needed commodity for the hot days
when they come.

first Christmas of the new century will
be thing of the past. I'M SANK.

Interested in the SchIev Case.

PERUVIAN, December 17.-After the
balmy days of last week the present
Arctic weather might cause one to imagine
that he had been transported to the
klondike in ga single night" but as a
green Christmas is said to be unlucky, we
may, perhaps, consider ourselves fortu-
nate that the cold wave arrived in time
to assist nature in putting on a more
sombre garb in which to celebrate the
universal festival.
The findings of the Schley Court of In
curry have been the general topic of con-
versation here for several days. When
ever two or three persons meet, be they
women or men, a regular hurricane OF
adjectives, adverse to the decision, are
heard. Had Schley been killed in the
great naval battle, history would prob
ably have made him a hero, like Marco
Bozzaris and Arnold Winkelried, but he
still lives and it seems that some of his
fellow-countrynen are endeavoring to
make him regret that Spanish bullet
did not find home in his body when he
gave the last command that completed
the destruction of Cervera's fleet.
Miss P. M. Hutton, who was detained
at home for several weeks by the sickness
and death of her mother, has resumed

We heartily agree with Jim Sank" in
regard to the planting of forest trees. If
the Legislature would take some action
in the matter it would be a wise move,
and, in years to come, future generations
would thank us for our forethought.

for over four hours on the south side OF
Main street in the business section, and,
for a time, the entire street for several
blocks was threatened with destruction.
1t is supposed to have started in the
basement of the Payne block used as a
store and Offices and owned by Mrs.
Hester S. Lewis. This building together
with the general store of Charles A.
Heatzig on the east and ]. Frank Fraser's

fire spread with wonderful rapidity
The Singerly Fire Company responded
promptly and had several streams pour
ing on the flames but the building was
soon blaze. The wind was blowing a
gale at the time and rain was falling II
torrents. At one time the entire place
was threatened and Mayor George Nc
Quilker telegraphed to Wilmington
for aid This request was afterwards
countermanded as the local firenen, by
heroic efforts, had gotten the fire under
control. The total loss is estimated al
sos, 000., which is partly covered by in
surance The losses were as follows:

have succeeded in getting Peach Bottom
slate specified in the contracts for the
erection of a number of government
buildings, including the new postoffice,
at Washington, D. c.
There are now nine large quarries in
operation all located along the line OF
the Maryland and Pennsylvania Rail
road. The aggregate value of their out
putt over 100000 a year. The quarries
are being pushed to their utmost capacity,
and it is estimated by some ofthe leading
interests in the trade that at the present
rate of increase they will not be able to
I'LL more than ten per cent of their orders
the next year. The slate is there in al
most inexhaustible quantities and only
needs capital to develop it. 1t is pro-
posed to form a new company with a
capital stock of $1.OOO.OOO. This will
of course not be sufficient to purchase all
of the quarries, but it is thought that
the smaller ones will come in later when
they see the advantage of organization.
Another source of revenue to the quarry
men besides the manufacture of roofing
slate, is the production of cement. 1t is
claimed that ground slate, for which the
refuse is used with proper mixture of
other ingredients, produces quality of
cement equal to Portland, which will re-
sist the action of both fire and water If
the proposed sewerage system for Balti-
more be built, thousands of barrels of
this cement could be sold at a good profit.
