Mrs. Sadie McFadden does not agree
with the statement made in yesterday :
Capitel Journal that a high board fence
was once upon a time around what II

She believes the statement does not do
Justice to the Capital City. Instead
Of high board fence to keep rowing
cows out, she says, there was Just sew
ersl posts and on them was railing
Of 4 by lumber. And that the en-
trance to the grounds was through turn
stiles or posts placed far enough apart
to admit people but not cattle and that
these gates or openings were at each
corner and on the side approaching the
present location of the court house
square. Mrs. McFadden is an authority
on the early days of Salem as she has
lived here since 1869.

A WORD TO THE CARELESS.

There can be no set rules or regulations
laid down that Will entirely govern care
less people or prevent fire loss and de-
struction. When we stop and think that
last year very nearly three million dol
lars worth of property in good old Maine
was destroyed by the demon fire, loss
that never can be reganed or made good,
1t is up to each individual to use his best
endeavors to prevent the waste of ma
terlal in these critical reconstruction
times. Remember that fire loss today
is not as readily repaired and restored as
1t was year or so ago, this is due to the
scarcity of all kinds of building material.
CareiessneSs on your part at this time
may not only result in a financial loss to
you, but may Inconvenience you further
to such an extent as to make / financial
loss small in comparison.
Rid your home of everything that is
likely to cause fire and don't let the little
things fool you; start them on the road to
the dump heap where they belong.
