that the militia's attack on the tent

executed in cold blood. Three ma.

fire DEPARTMENT CONTEST
Reported Effort Will be Made To De-
feat Geo. Fish for Chief at An
nual Meeting.

The Herald is very sorry to not that
what looks like a serious contest is to
be waged at the annual meeting of
the Sank Centre Fire Department TO
be held Jan. 5th. George Fish has
been an active member of the depart
ment for thirty years and for the past
II years the chief. The experience he
has saii.ed 4hakos him valuable to the
department of the city and the Herald
sincerely hopes that he will be reflect
ed to the position. Joseph Kusba his
reported opponent, is the present first
assistant chief, and is arexne1aencea
member of the department, and no
doubt has the ability to make an eff
ficient chief, but there is current
rumor afoat that the attempt will be
made to defeat Mr.. Fish as a penalty
for enforcing the law while carrying
out his duty as chief of the local pol
ice. Just why a man should be penal
lied for doing his duty is more than
the Herald can fathom, and for that
reason we hope to see Mr.. Fish re-
elected as chief of the fire depart
ment.

Big HOLIDAY BUSINESS
People for Many Miles are Taking Ad-
vantage of the Offerings of Sank
Centre Merchants.

The streets and business places of
Sank Centre have been thronged with
eager Christmas shoppers for the past
several days and the nearer Christmas
approaches the greater the rush. Peo-
pie are coming for miles, including
many nearby villages to take advan-
tage of the tempting stocks and prices
offered by Sank Centre merchants.
Last weeks Herald spread the glad
tidings of the offerings of Sank Cen
tres stores far and wide and no doubt
the large trade can be traced in no
sTnali.5if gree to the liberal use of
printers ink in last weeks Herald. A
slight indication Of the volume Of bus
mess in this town is shown in report
that is current that the local post
office sold $120 worth of postage
stamps in small lots on Tuesday. II is
a certainty that neverbefore have the
overworked employees of Uncle Sam
been as hard pushed as they were this
year.
