CORN TAKES DROP
NOW S4 A BARREL

Corn for the first time on the To-
cal streets sold for $3.50 per barrel,
it was said, Thursday, when a number
of loads were disposed of. However,
a number of owners stated their corn
was selling for 81. Until recently
there was a standard price of S5 per
barrel, and this price was being OBJ
tanned throughout the country.
One local man stated that he pur
chased large quantity for $3.50 per
barrel. This, it is claimed by several
who were asked regarding what they
would take for their product on the
wagon, was an exceptionally low fig
ure for high-grade corn, and they re-
fused to accept the price for what
they had. There is more corn COM
ing into the market daily, and more
than usual for this time of the year,
it is claimed, and the proximity of the
holidays, together with the fact that
tobacco will not reach the selling per-
iod until after the first of the year,
are given as the reasons for the
heavy hauling. The roads are said
TO be in excellent condition, and
greater quantities are being brought
in by single teams than usual.

Who nMONKEyED"
WITH FIRE TRUCK
Carburetor and Bolts Loose and
Fan Breaks At Critical Time
Investigation Ordered

"Gentlemen, | want thorough IN
vestigation, and want it Immediate
ly, and also to hear from you with
out delay, and the true situation must
be presented to me as soon as possi-
ble."
That's the order issued to the cOun-
cilmanic committee for fire depart
ment investigation, ordered late on
Thursday night by Mayor l.. P.
Evans, as a result of the fire depart
ment apparatus being "out of KEEL
ter" Why it is not in good working
order and who is responsible for its
condition is what the mayor wants to
know. The investigating committee
comprises Councilmen Golden, Altman
and Warrington. These men were
instructed to visit the department,
ascertain the condition of affairs, and
report Immediately.
1t is claimed by some that 4 series
Of Incidents manifest Thursday pre-
venting the best of service caused, in
measure, the loss Of part of the
Neal Bennett home, West Main. Fire
man Stone Maupin, in charge of the
auto truck, stated that the carburator
bowl had dropped nearly off before
the scene of the fire was reached;
that two of the spark plugs were
loose on the shaft supporting the
fan which cools the motor, and as a
result, the fan was broken, and it was
with difficulty the pump was started,
after delay of perhaps three min
uteS. Mr.. Maupin said he could not
understand the condition of affairs,
since the machine seemed to be in
perfect order. How this series of
mishaps developed is not known.
II am glad they are going to make
an investigation" said Maupin. 81

fairs myself, as badly as anyone else,
and will. abide by the consequences"
There seems to be a suspicion among
some that some one may have been
"monkeying" with the machine when
The firemen's attention was directed
elsewhere.
Nose Nelson, who left the station
early Thursday morning at 5 o'clock
in charge of Mr.. Maupin, who then
came on duty, says the machine was
all right when he left. 81 am willing"
he said, ''to have an investigation
made, and have been ordered by more
than one to ask visitors to the sta
tion not to touch the truck, and have
been obeying orders. The further
they cary this investigation the bet
ter it will suit me-"
There will have to be new parts to
the truck, such as a new fan, etc.
These come from Elmyra, N. Y,
where the truck was bought. Chief
Ben Daugherty, Of the department,
stated he would have to have the
truck overhauled ere he could discern
what parts were necessary. He re-
ported to the council that an investi-
cation is already under way and that
he would wire for the parts as soon
as ne learned what was needed. Roy
Montgomery is overhauling the truck
today and has not filed a report, but
will do so within q short time.
There has been negligence upon the
part of some one, is declared by May
or Evans and other city officials. The
councilmen were greatly exercised
over the condition of affairs and this
matter came in for some spirited
discussion at the regular meeting of
