It is so applicable to the needs of our people, that it is easily made arsat social and business day for Coctcord. Tho name and date of this enterprise was set by consultation and en dorsed by moie than SO of our best business ci-tizens. And now to change the' commencement day from Thursday to Monday is not at all suitable and to change ''Exchange" day to Ca barrus" day is a -grout mistake. No other name is so appropriate nd so far reaching as exchange day. It should not be changed except by an organized .body of authority aud open for discus sion. This is very much farmers' day and by ronsulta tion the time was set after they had housed their fodder and duriur moon light nights for their convenience. Many Citii:ns.

A team at Corl's livery stable was in about the condition that a team should always be kept for emergencies. It was hitched up and the wagon dashed for the scene of the fire. Tho hose was turned on aud the flames which had made fearful headway were knocked out in the shortest kind of order.
