lending more muscles and less lip, the

| Jamentable condition it has been strug-
gling through for the past two years.
It is quite burdensome for 8 or 10
men to keep up an organization whieli
actually requires 35. men. Repeateocly
at our regular montuly meetings we
have had only @ quorum present, and
on several occasions when our or 10
men would take the engine out for
practice, the property owners would
stand with hands in pockets and give
good advice, till the stream ceased to
flow and then remind me of certain ani-
mals after a sheep killing, sneaking
off,
Out of a membership of 32,
5 who own real estate in the town, and
only 2 of the 5 attend .:eetings. Some
of the merchants will not giye their
clerks time to attend meetings and
drills. Why thisis,I am unable to
say. Atourregular monthly meeting

How oProperty Owner� can have

the engine should be kept in thorough
condition, but when the property own-|
ers will not take enough interest to join
us and share our burden, how can they |
expect us hen"property owner's 10 mani- |
test the interest suggested ?
Now as to the preposterous idea ot
offering to pay the company for '5 or 2
hours per month tor drill practice, or
for the time consumed in work at fires,
why | am satisfied there is not a non-
property owner in the fire company who
is s impecunious as to ever have
thought of such a thing. They would
teel much better complimented if the
property owners would share their
burdens, instead of leaving the faithtul
tew to bear it all, On one occasion af-
ver drill practice the wee only 7 men
lett to pull the engine back to its re-
posicory and on another occasion after
an alarm ot fire (the night Smith
& Hookeis stables caught) there were
only 7 aes v puil the engine and hose

his congregation smaller than usual
upon a Sunday of intense cold or
times, too, the weather made a dif-
today. Yet, what hardships our an-
cestors had to endure in winter in
their bare, bleak, bitter cold old
meeting houses!
hard and rattled sadly in ye plates,�T
after a Sunday in the church at
Newbury, with the thermometer
near zero, And it was not uncom-
mon, not only in the days of the
grand old justice, but many years
later, for women to faint from sim-
ply cold or to become so chilled as
to be unable to rige or move when
it came to hymn time 'and to have
to be carried out of church and
thawed at the nearest neighbor's.
We have only to imagine how a
girlof today would feel if after get-
ting her feet thoroughly wet and
half frozen she wrapped herself in
a heavy cloak"omitting, however,
her warm flannels and her close fit-
ting outside jacket"and, retiring to
an unheated barn, sat up straight]
on a hard board for three hours,
with drafts from every crack and
knothole playing freely about her.
We should expect consumption or
pneumonia 2s the natural result,
and they were the natural result,
and carried many of our shivering
ancestresses to an untimely grave.
Yet, with all that they had to en-
dure, women sometimes voluntarily
increased their misery at the de-
mand of fashion"at least, the win-
ter brides did go. It was long the
custom for bride¢on first attending
church after marriage to wear nc
outside garment, whether merely
to let the folks see their: new gowns |T
or as a relic of traditional ceremony
akin to.unveiling is not known, but
in the depths of January or Decem-
ber they would come to meeting,
with a heroism worthy of a better
cause, in all the unconcealed finery
of a glossy silk or satin, with not so
| much as ascarf across the shoulders
for warmth.
A characteristic story of. the re.
venge of a Puritan suitor upon a
fair maid who had marri2d his rival,
relates that"he being the sexton of
the church and she a December
bride"he purposely managed so!
that a bitter wind should blow upon
her from a deftly unstopped chink
winter storm. Doubtless in the old | "

oTye would obring ~down the saudy | and
| hussyTs pride," he declared. Though.
whether he intended to do so ludi-
crously through influenza and a red
nose or tragically by means of lung
fever and an early death, the story
does not relate. But in cither case
she survived the ordeal.
~There were often among the
tougher and more rigid members
of the church a few who believed all
this hardship to be a good thing}
and who opposed even the popular | -
little foot stoves as a luxury, while
when stoves were introduced which
attempted to heat the whole church
they fought them with disgust and
bitterness.
One old woman, Aunt Judy Jones,
made a point of sitting near the new
stove for several successive Sun-
days, throwing off ~or fiincing open
one layer of wraps after another and
finally lying back in a state of con-
spicuous exhaustion, gasping faintly
and fanning herself with an im-
mense turkey feather fan. But the.
stove continued to glow and the
congregation to becomfortable, and}
before the season ended it was quiet: i
ly observed that Aunt Judy did not
seem to feel the heat more than oth-
er people and had even been known
to goup und warm her feet at the
unwelcome redhot thing itself be-

The FiremanTs Side.
~Today oFireman� replies to the ar-
ticle of oProperty Owner� in MondayTs
issue relative to improving the efficiency
ot our fire company. He puts the
companyTs side of the question very
strongly and. shows conclusively that
what the company most needs is the
active co-operation of the property
owners themselves.
Monday night the Reri~Rctor at-
tended the monthly meeting of the
company to ascertain ~what intcrest was
manifested, nacurally thinking after
what had been said during the last few
days on the subject that many property
owners would be present to apply tor
membership. However, while there were
six additions to the company, only one
of them was a property owner and he
but a small one, Out of the old mem-
bership barely enough were present to
constitute a business quorum. This is
about as could be expected when the
members see that the very people whose
property the organization 18 intended
to protect show no interest whatever in
the company.
To put the matter plainly, if the peo-
ple who have property in danger take
no interest at all in providing pro.
tection, they have no right to» expect
those with notbing at stake to do so,

On Sunday an awful wreck occurred
en the Southern railroad at Hasrisburg
13 miles north of Charlotte. The
wreck was caused by a Collision between
No. 36, the northbound fast mail, and
No. 11, the southbound local passenger,
Three men were killed and six others
injured, some ot them so terribly that
there is no hope of their recovery.
There were 96 passengers on the fast
wail but none of them were hurt. The
Charlotte Observer, with its usual en-
terprise, got out a tull sized edition
Monday morning giving tull particulars
of the wreck.
