A Midnight Fire

Fire broke out in Samuel Turner's barn
above PENIS Grove, Oh the Auburn road,
near midnight last Saturday. The barn
and three other out buildings were burned.
As o as the fire was discovered Mr..
Turner ran to the barn, cut the halters
and got the horses out. All the live stock
was saved except two hogs.
An alarm of fire was received at Penn's
Grove and twenty members Of Liberty
Fire Company responded at 11.5O. The
chemical engine was taken to the fire,
but with difficulty, because the members
did not understand which Turner'S it was
and the Auburn road is heavy.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

est taken. There was great need of ell
thusiasm and greater interest. 1t
seemed to be now all mechanical. AS an
| incentive for better work he suggested
that the school be called at 1.15 instead
of 1.3O and that all pupils who are up
with their work be dismissed at $50. The
teachers will remain until 4 O'Clock to
assist those pupils who have not had a
regular attendance or have missed their
lessons.
The Board voted to try the plan. Seven
dollars were appropriated for new song
books.
The question of electing a medical in
spector, as required by law, was brought
up and discussed. AS Mr.. Wood disap-
proved of taking action he left the Beard
without a quorum and no further business
could be transacted.
On Monday afternoon between 4 and
5 o'clock M. Sorensen, y agent for the
American Book Company. gave a lecture
to the teachers on the Steadman' writing
system. He showed the correct positions in
writing and the proper muscular move
ments to practice.

Most the farmers quit digging sweet
potatoes the latter part of last week hop
ing that their might come a rain and
cooler weather to help the market. They
started to dig again on Monday. The
price of sweets is from 80 cents to
ST. .l5 a barrel. While some have a good
crop from 5 to z baskets to the 100 hills,
most farmers are getting from p to 4 bask-
cts to the 100 hills. Half the crop at
low prices will barely pay the landlord
for manure and fertilizer purchased.
Not since the three and a half inches OF
rain fell on September 1st has a drop OF

qnence the earth is getting very dry.
Grass is suffering for rain which would
benefit all vegetation. While a little fire
was needed for comfort last Sunday the
temperature about so the past few days
has reminded us of summer rather than
fall. Early this morning the wind
changed to the northeast and a light
shower fell at 4 o'clock. After 8 O'Clock
a drizzling rain started and has continued
up till noon with the temperature at So.

An invitation was received IRON the
Women's Christian Temperance Union
for the Mayor and Council to attend the
unwilling and dedication of the water
fountain on Saturday afternoon, the 10Th.
On motion it was unanimously accepted.
The Board of Protectors, Ammon Raine,
James Sparks and Jos. L. Springer,
known as the Gag Committee" present
ed their resignation and asked that it be
accepted Immediately.
Mayor Gentieu stated that the dolngs
of the committee had got down to only
arresting those addicted to drink, and
sometimes without sufficient cause rather
than prohibiting them from getting it,
which is impossible. While men are for
hidden to get liquor over the bar, they
| buv whisky in or out OF the Borough and
| that is worse than if they were allowed to
| buy a few glasses of beer which would
satisfy their craving for alcohol. There
| had been more arrests for drunkness since
the"Jag Committee" had been appointed
than ever before because of the drinking
of whisky and he could not zee that 1t
had done any good from a temperance
poipt of view and recommended that the
designations be accepted and no Others
would be appointed.
The designations of the three members
of the "Jag Committee was unanimously
accepted. Thus comes to an end one OF
attempts at making men more temperate
by a committee in accordance to a law
passed as a sop to the local optionists.

1920 had been paid to the teachers
for one months salary, not including
the supervisors salary, and $226.47 for

The salary of the supervisor was

elected with that understanding. The
law forbids a salary below $1,000.

teaching addition and subtraction and
