 Rev. J. W. O'Hara.
 Rev. J. w. OHara, pastor Of the Clayton Street Baptist church said: The sad fate of San Francisco is one of the worlds worst disasters. Not since the great Chicago fire has there been anything to equal 1t.
 ITO the terribleness of the earth quake were added the horrors or the flames. For days the city has been at the mercy of the acres of leaping: devouring flames. To all this Is added dying. and distressed. Humanity Is ap- stress for relief to the three or four hundred thousand sufferers.
 Tt has been gratifying to see how the people of the United States have responded. There is in this response evidencS of unity and philanthropy In our great country. This Is national loss instead of a local disaster. The States are all directly or indirectly in- terested. Their sons and daughters have gone to the great and growlng West to make their fortunes. This blasting of hopes in San Francisco IS a blight on interests far away. However, San Francisco. backed by the enterprise of her citizens, aided by the temporal relief from every section, will rise phoenix-like and In just a few years will erect more stately build jnes and build a more magnificent city than formerly adorned the western slope. Truly should pecuniary aid and heartfelt sympathy go to the stricken city from every section.

The Town Clock.
Editors kennebcc Journal:


Some weeks ago there appeared in
the journal an item in reference TO the
question which was brought before the
city government in regard to the pur-
chase OF new tower clock to replace
the present one in the tower of the
Winthrop Street Baptist church.
Since that time l have received many
inquiries from interested citizens OF
Augusta in regard to the present con-
dition of the one we now have. and
that l might be able to give positive
information ! have taken the trouble
to make q recent inspection of the
same, and will say that the clock is
somewhat worn, but there is no place
SO badly worn but what it will run and
do good service for many years to
come. The striking mechanism is
broker. but the break is nothing serious
and nothing but what can be repaired
at a very small expense.
If the striking side was repaired we
would now have striking clock. as
well as a time piece. Personally
cannot see why we should have al
lowed the striking part to remain out
of commission for so long a time when
a small outlay would put it right.
l might add that the cost Of a rew
striking tower clock would be from
500 10 $500. A. T., WOOD
