ings last week. On Tuesday Mr.
Erwin was here and conducted
the chapel services, after which
he made d short talk. On Fri.
day Mr. Fairy visited US and also
adSed a few interesting words.
Many of the boarding pupils,
taking advantage of the addi-
tional day OF Washington's
birthday holiday, visited their
hpes last week. One of these,
n SIS Halle Mccullough, was
accompanied home by two of
her friends, Misses Lula and Ada
Brockington, both of whom re-
port a most delightful time. The
country is not always a dull
place to visit.
Preparations are being made
for commencement. Last week
an extra meeting of the society
was called in order to decide
upon the public debaters, so
they can get to work. Those
elected were: Misses Lillian Sail
ters, Vivian Wheeler, ,Elma Kinds
and Mr. Frank Rogers. j D Gill
land, ESQ, was chosen for the
speaker. Altogether the public
meeting promises to be very
good this year.
On next Friday afternoon a
lecture will be delivered by L W
6lland, Esq, at 1:30 o'clock in
the school auditorium. Although
these lectures are given for the
benefit of the school children,
we feel sure that the public
would also be benefited If they
would attend them. We hereby
give the public a special invita-
tion to this lecture, as we are
sure that Mr. Gilland, as usual,
will be able to entertain his au-
dience and they will be amply
repaid for coming on next Fri
day.
Several new pupils have been
enrolled lately as the country

welcome these in our midst. We
only wish there were more so
interested in education as to en-.
ter as their schools close.

ASK REMOVAL OF
ADMINISTRATOR
Heirs Charge James Scott
Used Improper Methods in
Null Estate Matter.
"TRUMED UP" CLAIMS.
ALLEGE THAT SCOTT INTENDS TO
MAKE HIS POSITION ONE OF
PROFIT TO DISADVANTAGE OF
DIRECT HEIRS.

Upon the charge thar he had
stopped to ulterior methods and
''trumped-up'' claims, petition has
been filed in the Wayne circuit court
requesting the removal of James NJ.
Scott as administrator of the estate of
Henry Null. The petitioners are Sar-
ah Null, Emma Farrow. Michael Fry,
John Null and Jennie Reese. Scott is
administrator under the law of the es-
tate of Null upon his own solicitation.
He has filed claim for $500 against
the estate and his mother-in-law has
entered another claim for more than
$1,000. The estate is valued at $12. goo.
The petition sets forth that Henry
Null died intestate March %. leaving
no widow At the time of his death
he possessed real and personal proper
ty valued at $4,000. April IA. Scott
filed a petition requesting he be ap-
pointed administrator. The appoint
ment was made on the following day
and Scott qualified for the position.
1t is alleged that since his appoint
ment he has done very little towards
the settlement of the estate. 1t is
charged that he is not related to the
decedent except distantiy through his
wife, and, that she is not even an heir.
The Scots made their. home with the
decedent and managed and cultivated
the farm. The administrator has filed
a claim for $500 for services rendered
for this work and for bathing Null In
liniment from the years 1903 until the
date of Null's DEATH
1t is ayerred that in May Of last year
Elizabeth Fanster entered a bill
against the Null estate for $S,3S4 fol
services performed for the decedent
since June, 1864. 1t is charged the
claims are unfair. without merit and
.'trumped-up.- 1t is declared Scott en-
conraged his mother-in-law to file the
claim and prosecute it and does not in
tend to defend the estate against the
claim It is stated he secured the ap.
pointment simply by representing him
self a resident Of the county.

In His Annual Report Miller
Asks the Addition of Ladder
Truck and Fire Engine to
Equipment.
BUILDING INSURANCE
SHOWN TO BE SMALL
Property Endangered Last
Year Valued at $402, 1894
With Insurance Amounting
To 1929, ,575.

Again Ed Miller, chief of the fire de-
partment, will recommend in present
ing his report of the year just closed,
that the department be improved by
the addition of a ladder truck and en-
gine. Miller has made these recon-
mendations each year since becoming
chief and each time the board of pub
lie works has informed him the finan-
ces Of the city are not such as would
warrant the expenditure. The chief
says the department needs these addi-
tions and the truth of his statement is
likely to be demonstrated at any time,
just as it was when the Calonial block
was burned, last April.
Were TAT Alarms.
Miller's report shows the alarms
answered in the past year numbered
lat, which was about twenty more
than the previous year. The total
value of the property endangered was
$402,S94 The loss was but s67,927.
The total loss was raised by the con-
flagrations at the Colonial building
and hat factory. These were the most
serious fires of the year and together
total approximately all of $4,000.
Insurance is Small.
That the insurance carried on prop
erty in this city is for only about one
half it's value is made evident from
the report. With property valued at
$402, 1894, the insurance carried on the
same was but $223,575. Authorities
declare to insure property for but one
half it's actual value is to act without
proper discretion.
Ladder Wagon Ancient.
Although the hook and ladder waE
on now used by the local department
is bright and shiny in its coat of red
paint and brass trimmings, it is fa1
from a new wagon. It has been used
by the department for almost a quar-
ter of a century. 1t is not large enough
to accommodate enough ladders of the
proportion now required to comba,
flames when buildings of three, -four
and five stories are endangered. The
engine is needed inasmuch as at pre-
sent the only water force is that that
comes from the mains with the usual
flow. The water works company can
put on high pressure at its station
but when the limit is reached anG
found insufficient, there is nothing tc
do but let blaze eat its way. Chiel
Miller believes Richmond now is o1
such size that additional water pres
sure ought to be provided for by
| means of an engine.

The Richmond Postoffice the
Past Year Showed an In
crease of $6,343.74 Over
The Year 1907.
FIGURES REFLECT THE
BUSINESS CONDITIONS
Postal Report Shows That
Business Confidence Began
To Return Last Five Months
Of 1908.

The Richmond postoffice-the busi-
ness barometer of the city-shows a
remarkable gain in business for 1908
over 1907, amounting to $6,343.74. 1t
is reasonable to expect that the gain
in general business in the city was
in similar proportion. for the post
office has always faithfully reflected
local trade conditions. The postoffice
figures for the past year are as fol-
lows:

Panic Showed Effects.

Panic Showed Effects.
It will be seen by close scrutiny of
the figures that the past year started
out with gain of nearly $1,000 over
the month of January of 1907, but for
the next two months the postal re-
ceipts were several hundred dollars
short of corresponding months of the
previous year. This is attributed to
the panic of the. latter part of 1907
and the early part of 1908. AS the
postoffice is business barometer, it
is shown that the merchants and man
ufacturers of the city had very dis
couraging outlook at the beginning of
the year. There is probably one
month of the year, January, which is
not exactly business barometer.
This is due to the large number of
postal cards and calendars sent out
and therefore the gain of this month
last year over the same month of 1907
is not true reflection of the business
done locally.
Business Braces in May.
As the year 1908 proceeded a sud-
den brace was taken in business along
about May, or rather business again
became more nearly normal 1t was in
the month of May, 1907, that the first
panic vibra tions were felt and the
postal receipts tell the story How
ever, in June and July, 1907 the busi-
ness again took brace and the gross
receipts were in excess to correspond
ing months of 1905. But after that, in
1907 the receipts became less and
less and were far below normal In
the last five months Of 1908 business
became quite steady and is now again
at normal. il the same months of 1906
are taken as business criterion.
EIeetion Helped Business.
The national election last fall was
expected to hurt the business of the
country but 1t does not seem to have
done %. This is attributed to the
absolute certainty Of the business
world that the republican administra-
tion would continue In power and the
policy of the government would not
be changed.
Although business for the year was
much better than was it in 1907, the
most notable change was in the past
month. 1t viii be remembered that
the merchants OF the city stated the
Christmas business was greatly in ex-
cess Of that for the holidays of 1907
