Properties WHnJtU.
There is good demand for town ane
country property in and near Thurmont,
and to US it seems that there is goot
opportunity for anyone having the capt.
tai to buy the ground, erect dwelling:
and dispose of same at a profit.
The decision to install an Acetylene
plant seems to meet with general ap'
prevail, and the indications are that g
large portion of our citizens will take
the light, from the start into their
houses and stores. Town ownership will
make the light more popular than if it
was put in, and controlled, by Il private
company; besides, town ownership means
light at the least possible cost to the
consumer. Taneytoaom Carroll Record.
Thurmont Aids Italian Earthquake
Sufferers.
Prior to the beginning of the Week of
Prayer services, held in this place, it
was proposed at meeting of the Minis
terial Association that the offerings re-
ceived during the week be donated to the
fund for the relief of Italian earthquake
sufferers. The plan was adopted by the
Association and announced at the begin
ming of this series of meetings. The at
tendance and contributions were good at
all meetings, and Sunday evening the
treasurer had in his possession 1872 for
that purpose. An effort was made to
make the amount $50; eighteen dollars
was asked for at the Sunday evening
service and the people responded liberal
ly, more than twenty dollars being given.
The total offering of the Christian
people of Thurmont for the relief of the
Italian earthquake sufferers is Fifty-Six
Dollars, and that amount has been for
warded to the Baltimore San for the
purpose mentioned. The churches par
ticipating in the offering were the Luth-
eran, Reformed, Methodist, Moran ian,
United Brethren, and The Church of the
Brethren. This is a princely offering
and reflects credit on the Christia gen.
crosby and charity of our community.

Statement.
Elsewhere in this number appears the
first statement of the Peoples Fire In
surance Company of this County, which
shows in detail the business done for the
year ending December 3lst, 1908.
1t is most remarkable that this com
pany should have written over Two Mill
ions of Dollars worth of insurance in less
than twelve months, for they did not be-
gin business until Jan. 18th, 1908. 1t is
the first Home Stock Company doing
Fire Insurance business in this county,
and the favor and confidence which the
insuring public have placed in it, should
be exceedingly gratifying, not only to its
own stockholders but to the people of
the county in general who have natural
pride in seeing home corporations such
as this flourish.
This company is made up Of sound,
substantial business men who have sue
cessfully managed their own affairs, and,
this is safe guide, and it is our predc-
ton that the Peoples Insurance Company
in the course of few years will stand
at the top of the list of insurance COM
panies doing business in Maryland.
This company recently purchased the
building corner Court and Patrick streets,
Frederick, and will fit up Offices therein.
The real estate thus owned Costing the
company over $40, OO0) together with its
paid up capital of 100000 and reserve
for losses and reinsurance as per state
ment of $l2, 1875 makes good sound
basis for it's policy holders, which no
doubt will be greatly increased in the
future under the present able manage
ment.
