Last Thursday night about II o'clock
fire was discovered in the store OF
r. n. Strahan and soon spread to
the building across the street owned
by II. Il. Dobson ard occupied by A.
Seals as a boarding house, also several
out houses and barn. Before assis-
tauce arrived the fire was beyond con
troll and it was only by heroic efforts
that the livery stable of J. A. Moody
and the store of j. Q. Bourn were
saved
Mr.. Strahan's safe was drilled into
above the combination and the front
door of the store was open which
shows that it was the work of an
inaendiary. The officers have. been
working on the case but so far as we
know there has been no clew obtained
that would throw any light on the
matter.
Mr. Strahan's stock was valued at

And whereas it has been rumored that

tions would be willing to put up money,
$4,000 and upwards, il the county would
put up as much, the same 10 be ex-
pended in improving and building good
roads to and from said valleys and

the secretary OF war. The bill provides,
said the general, that practically all able
bodied citizens between the ages of is
aud 45 shall be liable for military duty.
The militia is organized into three classes,
the organized militia, the national
volunteer reserve and the reserve militia.
The present national guard will be
organized and equipped like the regular
army and will he subject to the call
Of the president for period not to ex-
ceed nine months. When so called they
will receive the same pay and allow
ances as the regular troops and will be
subject to the same discipline. The
equipment OF this branch shall be at the
expense of the national government.
The payment OF funds to the different
states and territories, which has hereto
fore been available only for equipment,
will hereafter be available for any legiti.
mate expenses, but the militia must
have fulfilled certain conditions in re-
gard to drill, marches, encampments,
etc.
An important feature Of the bill pro-
vides that officers OF the militia, who
shall have been nominated by the
governors and appointed by the
president, shall be entitled to a course
at military school or college, shall
receive the same travel allowances
and quarters as an officer OF the
regular army and subsistence at the
rate Of 81 per day. Militiamen in the
service OF the national government will
come under the same provisions in re.
gard to pensions as the regular troops,
Another provision Of the bill author
ICES the secretary Of war to enroll not
to exceed 100000 men, who shall have
served in the national guard, who shall
constitute volunteer reserve, each ell
rollment to cover period OF five years.
This reserve shall be next called into
service after the national guard.
