Less Express
Handled Here
This Xmas
Twice As Much Came In
AS Went Out This
Year

The amount OF express handled
in Fairmont this year during the
Christmas rush was less than that
handled during the same period in
years past, according to figures at
the local office of the American
Railway Express company.
The increased weight OF parcels
accepted at the pOstoffice, origin
ally a maximum of so pounds but
now 70 pounds, and the gradually
increasing popularity OF the parcel
post method of sending packages,
has doubtless accounted for the de-
crease in the amount Of express
handled at the local office.
The amount OF express sent into
the city was just about twice as
much as the amount Of express
sent out OF the city, indicating that
parcel post Is especially popular
in this city.
The amount of express sent into
the city from five terminating and
twelve passing trains averaged
about AIS shipments per day while
the express sent out Of the city by
five originating and twelve passing
trains amounted to but 240 ship
ments per day. This was the aver
age number shipments for Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday Of last
week, the busiest days at the local
express Office.

Fire OF unknown origin broke
out at IL o'clock this morning in

than $500 TO the occupants and a
like amount 10 the owners of the

The fire was discovered by Rob

sleeping on a couch In the room
and m alarm was sent In. Mrs.
Curnette lost all her clothes, most
of which were in the wordrobe and

the room where the fire broke out.
A theory of Fire Chief Watkins
that the fire originated from de-
fective wiring is strengthened by
the statement OF Mrs. Moore that
in using an electric iron this morn
ing there was hardly enough cur
rent to heat the iron.
The fourth floor Of the building
