A Strawberry Festival

With Grandma Williams and
two young people, the News man
enjoyed the hospitality of the S.
P. Bunch home last week. The
occasion being the coincident of
birthday of our hostess and
the ripening of a bed of finest
Strawberries. The birthday
connection of the feast was un-
known to the guests until their
arrival, neither did we learn
which number the day stood for
in the life of our entertainer.
The berries were the excuse
for inviting US there, and that we
enjoyed them is only to state
mildly our appreciation of their
lusciousness. The true reason
was desire to give pleasure to
a few people who are not of the
society brand and to enjoy a
quiet visit with friends rather
than a grander array of company.
We hope that Mrs. Bunch will
have many, very many returns
of her natal anniversary and we
also wish that the strawberry
patch may flourish. Altogether
a pleasant hour was passed, all
too quickly.

FIRE MONDAY MORNING
Plenty of Water Good Fire Fighting Apparatus and Splendid
Fire Company Saved Meade Disastrous Fire

ond line was carried through
the Schmoker Cafe and around
to the back of the building. The
fire was arrested just where the
first stream struck it. The
large quantity of water delivered
and the great force with which
it left the nozzle extlnguished the
fire instantly. A line of hose
was ready to be carried from the
hydrant at Bain's barn to the
back of the building but this was
not needed. This is a row of
wooden buildings which are
built up against the Schmoker
Cafe which in turn touches the
three-story National Hotel, also
wooden building. Quick work,
plenty of water, and a strong
pressure is all that saved the
block. Within three minutes af-
ter the bell rung Sam Ellis, the
engineer had the engines running
and direct pressure from the en-
gine to the hose.
Mr.. Flick had car of flour in
the building, considerable feed,
great quantity of canned goods,
soap, salt, brooms, and other
groceries. No great quantity of
goods was damaged by the fire.
Some of the brooms were burned
up while others were scorched,
the packing cases of the canned
goods we're only a few of them
burned, others were blackened,
but only few of them were hot
enough to damage their contents.
Flour, feed, and salt were dam
aged more by,water than by heat
Mr.. Flick began at daylight to re-
move the goods from the ruin,
there being no insurance, there
was no need to delay securing all
that was worth saving.
This fire establishes both the
need of the water works and
their capacity to cope with fire.
The fire boys deserve the thanks
of the town for their promptness
and efficiency in meeting this
fire.
There we're no casualties,
everyone working to extinguish
the fire escaping with nothing
worse than a drenching.

Farmers Sale Day.

Last Saturday was the third regu-
lar farmers sale day in Meade.
The attendance was not overly large
but the bidding on goods offered
was brisk and prices were good.
The merchants did rushing busi-
ness, especially in the line of har-
vest goods. The total amount of
the auction sale was between $500
and $1,000. The prices obtained
prove that the monthly sale day is
a profitable place at which to offer
goods for sale. il also seems that
persons come on that day for the
purpose of buying at the auction.
There would be an added interest in
the sale if those who have goods to
offer for sale would list them early,
for persons who read the list would
come especially to bid on such
things as they need. Heretofore,
there has been a backwardness
about listing stuff for the sale.
This is where the owner stands in
his own light for the advertising
costs nothing and the announce
ment brings customers. The News
will list goods for the next sale at
any time and the sooner it is done
the better for the seller. The crowd
last Saturday was noticeable for the
number who had came long distanc-
es to attend the sale. A large part
of them were people who do not
come often into town. Some we're
from the extreme northwest part OF
the county. The baad boys came
out after noon and furnished band
concert which it would pay any one
who is a lover of music to come
and spend day to hear. Keep
these sale days in mind and watch
the advertisements of our merchants
for bargains offered for sale day.
Note the list of goods for the auc'
ton sale, there is money to be saved
in both, and penny saved is a
penny earned.

About three o'clock Monday
morning, Bert Rosenberg who
was out with his hack at the Nat
ional hotel to carry passengers to
the early train, saw fire in Fick's
ware room on the north side of
Carthage avenue. He immedi-
atelv raised the alarm and as
soon as an answering shout came
he lashed his horses to a run
and drove over town spreading
the alarm. Some one near turned
in an alarm to central and in
stantly the bells all over town
were sounding the startling fact
that there was fire in town.
The fire bell from it's tower peal
ed ont its sharp notes of danger.
The fire boys ran to the hose
house and got the hose to hy-
drant quickly, while those living
farther away arrived to take
their appointed places according
to distance. Some few were not
in their homes and missed get.
ting out, among those who did
not get the warning being o. R.
Stevens.
The building is located west
of the National Hotel and the
Schmoker Cafe and joins the of.
fee of the Meade Grain & Seed
Co. The large wagon and ma.
chinery ware room of II. G. Mar.
shall & Co. adjoins it on the
west. The fire seems from the
condition of the floor and the
progress of the fire made in that
part of the building to have origi
mated on the floor at the north
end of the building, which is ar
old wooden structure first built
for barn. A large hole is burn.
ed in the floor near the north
door, which has been nailed up
and securely fastened for some
years. The roof above is burn.
ed off there and the walls and
and rafters charred and blacken.
ed nearly to the south door. In
fact, the roof is scorched as is
the upper part of the walls to
the south door. The front or
south door was smashed in and
one line of hose carried in and to
the back of the building; a sec
