and others. The ammunition was got
ten out as quickly as possible A large
part of it being packed liz sheet iron
boxes the explosions might have done
damage. Certainly panic would have
been created among those who were
fighting the fire.
Most OF the guns were saved, and sc
were the blue overcoars, the blue uni.
forms and the heavy tents.
The equipment that was saved has
been placed in room in the rear OF
Anderson Bros, store. The Rifles will
have no Armory until the new Black
building is ready for them.

on his undertaking establishment, and
that covers his loss 80 far as the under

former quarters, and is ready to serve
the public.
Tie most severe loss falls on Mr.
Hicks and his sons. The building was
owned by Mr.. ]. H. Hicks and Mr.. r
A. Hill. The insurance was so high
that they decided to carry the risk
themselves, The loss on the building
will probably reach fifteen hundred oil

In the first place we voted for the
Water and Sewerage bonds. We
worked for their passage and we shall
back up the Water Board with a
united council to carry it to success.
We advocate an abundant supply of
pure water from Black Jack Mountain
streams. If the owners of the pres
ent water works will sell us that part
of their pipes and other necessaries
the City could utilize with the new
system we would advocate buying it
if they will sell it at a reasonable
price, but for the health and welfare
of ourselves and our families we must
have as pure water as can be found.
If am elected | shall do all in
my power to induce new manufacture
ing enterprises to locate here. With
an abundant supply of water, and all
of it owned by the City, why could
we not afford to furnish water at cost
to any new enterprise, if it should
take that inducement to bring them
here. The city could not lose any
thing by it. But suppose an induce
ment of that kind should not be suf.
ficient, then why could we not exempt

of five or ten years? We could lose
nothing by this transaction either for

to the Marietta Rifles. Captain Fred
Morris is under So 900 bond for its safe

The Nutmeo Tree.

The nutmeg is the kernel Of the
fruit of several species CT trees
growing wild in Asia, Africa and
America. The cultivated nutmeg
tree is from fifty to seventy-fve
feet high and produces fruit for
sixty years. The fruit is Of the
size and appearance Of a roundish
pear, yellow in color. The feshy
part Of the fruit is rather hard and
resembles candied citron. Within
is the nut, enveloped in the curious
yellowish red aril known to us as
mace Up to 1896 the Dutch, being
in possession of the islands produc-
ing the only valuable variety of the
nutmeg, jealousy tried to prevent
the carrying of the tree or living
seed Of it into any territory inde-
pendent OF Dutch rule.

There was a famous British Off

Murray, who served in the expedi-

greatest service, instructing him
that Caesars army had been in the

in his portable library, he found
his recollection right-that water
had been obtained BY the Romans
from wells dug at a certain spot in
the sands. A trial was Immediate

MGViNG BIG TREES.
An Expensive Undertaking, Sometimes
Requiring a Year.

Trees Of a very great size can 10
moved successfully if time and
money are Of no account, but it is
an expensive process and should be
attempted only where immediate
effect Is wanted or in the case of a
rare variety that requires TO be re-
moved and cannot be replaced.
To prepare a large tree for re-
moyal, says Horticulture, a deep
trench should be dug around the
tree from five to seven feet from
the base of the tree and working
under so as TO cut Off all the roots
possible without disturbing the
hole.
The ends Of the roots should all
be cut smooth and the trench filed
up with a good compost of peat,
rotten sods and manure and left for
a year, when a second trench can
be opened at the outside Of the
first and the tree carefully under
mined with a pick, so as to remove
the soil with as little injury to the
young fibers as possible, and the
tree carefully drawn over so as to
cut whatever taproot may have been
left.
