August Fire Loss
SIS, All One Fire
At Capitol Cafe

A long and enviable record against
fire losses in Henderson was slightly
married in August, when there was a
damage of $25, all of it in the one
fire that resulted from short-circuit
and damaged the Neon sign at the
Capitol cafe on South Garnet street.
1t was the third month in 1887 when
there was any fire loss at all, and the
total for the eight months is only
$4,O7O.
In August last year there was no
fire damage, and for the first eight
months of last year the total was &c.
$50, or more than twice as much for
the corresponding period this year.
A total of seven calls came to the
firemen, but only the one was serious
enough to report a damage. There
were fires in all of them, however,
three being due to electric wiring and
one each an automobile, a motorcycle,
a cigarette and one unknown.

Up $2,O84
August Totals $25l
Over August, 1886;
Every 1887 Month
Has Gain

Receipts of the Henderson post of
flee for the first eight months of 1887
were greater by $2,082.44 than for the
corresponding period in 1886, and the
August revenue was also considerably
above that for the same month last
year. Postmaster ]. r. league an
nounced today.
For the first eight months of 1887
the receipts were $S1, 1899, gain
over the $29,647.55 for the first eight
months of last year. In August this
year receipts were $3,640.01, and for
August last year the total was 3d.
1882.
The increase in revenue last month
continued the post office record clear
for the year i'll that every month of
1887 has shown a decided increase in
receipts over the corresponding month
a year ago. If the final four months
of 1897 only hold their own in receipts
no more than last year, but as much,
the years total will be well above the
$4,000 mark for the first time in the
history of the local office.
The constant rise in receipts is TAX
en- as a barometer of business condl-
tions generally in Henderson, which
are much better than for years.
Within a few more weeks the post
office will move from temporary
quarters On East Montgomery street
which it has occupied for the past
year back to the new and enlarged
post office, which has been practi-
cally doubled in size, affording vastly
more room and infinitely greater con-
veniences both to clerks in handling
