Facts that might be commented on.
Ist. That. though the occupants Of
the houses burned On Saturday last were
colored people only. that no colored man
lent hand to the rope Of the much be-
lated hose reel pulled 20 slowly by few
young men and boys Young colored
men were seen waking on the sidewalk
tanning themselves with their hats. while
the houses burned for want of the reel
getting there more quickly.
and. That the hose was In such con-
dition that it burst in several places. and
it was said it was wound up on the reel
backwards.
3rd. That the waterworks. for which
taxes are paid. could only furnish such
very small streams OF water. that had
the wind been blowing. such FIRE in the
heart of the town might have proved
disastrous indeed. Our FIRE companies
can DO but little to save property if they
can't get water on short notice.
4th. That our citizens be urged to
give an alarm at the engine houses
promptly aud not trust to someone else
doing so. or the cry of fire" reaching
headquarters Promptly notified. our
companies come and do good work when
they can get the water.

Dear Mr. Haines.-Wil you give me
little space in your worthy paper to speak
a good word for our fire Department.
Too much praise cannot be given to such
a body of men. Some people may think
it is mere child play to be a member of
this organization. and too often censure
some. if not all of our firemen, If they
are not fighting fire as soon as the alarm
is given. Let me give you an illustration
the ice plant of L Robinson & Co.
Think of body of men with appa-
ratus going Tor running if you please to a
fire one mile away. Can anybody won

our boys can run two squares and still
have enough breath left to run down our
firemen?
Such as it may be, we are not paid

companies. and now before l close
must not forget our worthy captains of
the two companies. who by their per
sistent, heroic efforts have given the
good people OF our little city such
protectors of their houses. wives and
children. No matter what conditions of
the Elements no matter what hour of
night, no matter where the fire is To-
Gated, they are ever ready to respond to
the first tap of the bell and give their

Mr. S Forward. who has been conduct
ing successful and profitable creamery
located OIL the Morgan's Grove Fair
grounds near Shepherdstown. gave US a
pleasant call last Wednesday. Mr. For
word was here in the interest of move
ment to establish an enterprise for the
shipment of milk and cream to Washing
ton from this county. The demand of
the Washington market has grown so
rapidly in the recent years that the sup
ply from nearby points is unequal to it.
The shipment of dairy supplies from
points as distant as Charles Town is from
Washington is rendered precarious un-
dertaking by the operation of the Ma
tional Pure Food Law. To meet its re
quirements it is proposed to establish
here plant with facilities for clarifying
and pasteurizing the milk before. ship
ment. Messrs. c L Robinson & Co, the
ice manufacturers are willing to enter an
agreement to furnish the cold storage
facilities for the proposed enterprise, and
it now remains with the farmers to agree
to furnish a milk supply in sufficient
quantity to insure its success. Mr. For
ward estimates that about $4,000 capital
will be required to erect building and
purchase the machinery. He will en-
deavor to get the farmers to furnish half
Of the necessary capital. The experience
of those engaged IN the business has
been that in order to make it success
the cooperation of the farmers supplying
the milk is almost essential. and their
cooperation is best secured when they
have > direct pecuniary interest in IT.
