A spark from the stove set fire to

have proved a disastrous fire.
The indebtednessof Zemon & Sable
to the Greenville firm afc tho time
the $2300 chattel mortgage was given
was nearly §1500 instead of $700 as
stated in those columns last week.
This doos not establish however tho
good sense of the Clare firm in giving the mortgage nor tho disinterest-

crowd, which order he promptly and
good-naturedly obeyed.

A newspaper, to be first class, must
receive first clans support, says an exchange. First class support consists
in every subscriber promptly paying
his subscription, patronizing the job
departments instead of giving work
to nondescript and foreign offices and
in every way giving tho paper your
moral help. Taking and reading it
and never paying for it will never
do. Mora I support of itself was novor known to run a newspaper; moral support cannot be utilized, when

An oleomargarine agent was in
town last week and we havo learned
from a reliable source that he sold a
bill of his bogus butter to two of our
merchants. This combination of tallow, lard and coloring matter is put

hard to detect. It's a greasy fraud
all tho same and we hope that none
of The Pkess readers will be cheated.

Tlie Two Extrmea.
The anticipators of an "open winter" have been rudely shocked  for
the third timo by the polar waves of
last week.   One thing will be said of
tbe present winter at least, and that
is that for extremes of fair and cold
weather it has had no  parallel  for
many years.     Three  times  in   the
first half of the season has the mercurial guage sank from twenty-five
to forty degrees below zero, to be followed in its turn by rains and mud.
