Reck lease for the summer.
Woods fires are cropping out early
this season along the river hills. The
few days of dry weather last week put
the leaves in condition to easily take
fire, and the passing locomotives can al
ways be depended upon to do the rest.
Should the weather remain dry for
week or two fires may be looked for, and
consequent damage of more or less mag
nitude may be expected. Extra care
should be exercised by all who have oc-
casion to go into the woods.

The Derrick $ correspondent at Clar-
ion states that there were 40 residents of
that county who were financially inter-
ested in the operations OF the defunct
Storey Cotton syndicate, and that their
losses aggregate 100000. This statement
indicates the widespread devastation that
the failure of the company has caused
throughout the country, and the most
distressing feature is that the losses fall
heaviest upon those least able to bear
them. But SO it is with those who are
bound to get-rich. quick.
An important business change has

Wis store room, which has recently un-
dergone thorough renovation at the

The following news item taken from
the New York Herald is interesting:
last year post-oflice inspectors arrested
l0l postmasters, 40 assistant postmasters,
65 clerks in post offices, 10 railway postal
clerks, 27 letter carriers. 43 mail carriers,
and 10 employed in minor positions in
the postal service, for stealing money
from letters" From the above facts and
statistics you will see that 1t is very un-
safe to send money in letter. Never
do so unless you register the letter. The
safest plan is to remit by check, bank
draft, express or money order, for if one
of these forms is lost or stolen, you can
get a duplicate at no additional cost to
you, and thus you can't lose anything.
Do not send currency unless you register
