it is hoped that there will soon be suffi-
Gent conciliatory action to get the oppos-
ing elements together. In the meantime,
as usual, the consumers will suffer.
A fire in the woods near Streets
Row, Bel Air, turned out the fire depart
ment on Thursday. The blaze was helped
by the wind and for a time there was a
possibility of serious results. However,
the flames were extinguished by the
large crowd that had responded to the
call of the fire bell and no damage was
done.

three new commissioners shall be chosen
at the general election in 1907. The
terms and compensation of County Com
missioners Mccain and Anderson are
unchanged by this bill. The pay under

The debris and leftover bricks of the
court house Improvement, are now being
removed, and the yard is commencing to
assume a natural appearance. Before
the work was commenced there was a
beautiful set of grass around the build
ing. We hope that the commissioners
will have the grounds in their original
shape as soon as possible. 1t issaid that
the iron fence will not be removed.
The congregation of Centre Metho-
dist Episcopal church, near Forest Hill,
expects to soon commence the erection of
handsome church building. 1t will be
a commodious structure, with beautiful
interior and exterior. The material will
be wood and iron. The total cost is ex-
pected to reach $4,000. This congrega-
ton is one of the most prosperous in the
county and includes large membership.
Just before adjournment, the Legisla-
ture voted $25, 900 to aid in the erection
of a monument to the memory OF the
Federal soldiers of the Civil War. This
graceful act by a Democratic body should
forever set at rest the question OF divl-
sion between the Blue and the Gray,
when it comes to paying respect to the
memory of the dead soldiers who gave up
: their lives for the cause that they believed
to be right.
