ters, or anything for the table. 1t
Majors Cement" is good one to
stick to the printers, although the COM
pany failed with half million liabilities
more than two months ago. 1t was a
fake Of the worst Oiedrfeid Jour
nal. You should have caught onto some
Of their cement early in the game like we
did.
". G.. Armstrong has about finished
his contract at West Hickory, the cree
ton of a township house. The building
is large one, with an abundance of
room for the townships needs, and is
said to be one of the best in the county, a
credit alike to the township and the con-
tractor.
The lamp under a peanut roaster in
j. A. Turner's store at West Hickory,
exploded yesterday morning scattering
burning oil in all directions, and it was on

smothered and a connagration averted.
In the fracas Mr.. Turner had one of his
hands quite badly burned.

After years of battling for pipe line
TO tidewater under their own control the
independent oil operators of Western

The grounding took charge of the
weathsr last Saturday and has thus far
given us about the only "real thing in
that line we've had this winter. He's
completely paralyzed Devoe, Hicks
Foster, and the Washington bereau push,
and If he keeps up this speed there'll be
no such thing as excepting him off tie
ticket" next winter.
People who contemplate setting any
headstones or monuments this spring
will do well 10 consult W. G.. Rogers,

out first class work at lowest prices and
all work guaranteed. See Mr.. Rogers
before placing your order. He can save

Andy Mattern, late OF Tionesta, who
is now a Texas driller, sends very good
account of the big Beaumont gusher,
which has been throwing out third rate
quality of crude at a 20,0OO-barrel clip
since January 10Th. The cut represents
the well as flowing twice as high as the
64-foot derrick, and Andy thinks the es-
innate is none too great. A well like
that is something worth considering.
Twenty new members were
taken into full communion in the Pres
byterian church at this place last Sabbath

Rev. Mr.. McAninch began a series of
meetings at Endeavor lasBSabbath even
ing, which will probably continue for a
fortnight.
The most unique idea in journalism
ever conceived will be introduced in the
great "Philadelphia Sunday Press" for
February 10. The plan is so interesting
and the result so remarkable that this
edition will doubtless be the most notable
of the new century. Exactly what the
plan is has not yet been announced, but
that it will he novelty is certain and
there will be great demand for it. So
i'm order that you may he sure to get it
you should order to-morrow's "Sunday
Press" of your newsdealer to-day.
Last Saturday morning about five
| o'clock fire broke out in the basement of
the Dodd block, Franklin, and in shorC
time about everything in the building
was consumed. The basement and sec
ond floor were occupied by the Ctizen-
Press office, which was completely de-
molished, entailing loss Of $4,000, with
/ IS, 500 insurance. Other occupants of the
building lost in the neigborhood ofsl5,OOO
worth of property which was partly COW
cred by insurance. The owners OF the
building, Echols and Bredin, lose $4,000
with $1,000 insurance. All the other
printing offices of the city ut their type
and presses at the disposal OF Editor Smi-
Icy, and 1t is thought the paper need not
miss an issue while new plant is being
put in shape.
