West Salisbury Feed Co.
zen of Garrett, Pa., was in our town
last Saturday, looking up insurance for
a new company to be known as the
Garrett Mutual Fire Insurance Com-
pany. Mr. Maust says the proposed
company has thus far met with excel-
lent success, and that he anticipates no
trouble in writing enough policies to
reach the sum of $200,000, the amount
required in order to be able to get a
charter for the concern. .
The writing paper used by a business
house has just as much to do with get-
ting orders as prices or the quality of
goods. Many a house is judged alto-
gether upon the appearance of its cor-
respondence. Your writing paper
should be conservative, dignified and
substantial, if that is the kind of busi-
ness you are doing. No writing paper
is too good for a good business. THE

StaR this week chronicles the death of
Sergeant Mark A. Prynn, of the State
Police force, who died in a hospital at
Shenandoah, Pa., Tuesday night, the
8th inst.
At this writing we are unable to give
full particulars of his death, nor have
we learned anything of the funeral ar-
rangement.
Sergeant Prynn was shot in the arm,
about two weeks ago, by the accidental
discharge of a gun in the hands of one of
his comrades, as noted in last week’s
Star. On the 2nd inst. he sent a postal
card to the editor, stating that about
half of the bullet had been removed,
and that he was about.to undergo an
X Ray examination to aid in having
the other half removed. He stated
further that he was getting along as
well as could be expected,and that he
expected to be in Salisbury soon, among
his friends and relatives.
That was good news, and it was
promptly announced to many of Ser-
geant Prynn’s friends. But on Tues-
day afternoon, this week, several
messages were sent to his Salisbury
relatives (Mr. and Mrs. John Meager
and Mr. and Mrs. Geo. James), stating
a fire which might have wiped out the
entire business section of Meyersdale:
“Fire broke out yesterday evening in
the basement of the home of George
Donges, and for a time threatened the
Donges theater, only the good work of
the volunteer firemen saving it. Wind
blowing at the time threatened to
spread the fire, and it is stated that
had a higher wind been blowing, the
entire town might have been wiped out.
“The fire is supposed to have been
caused by an overheated furnace in the
basement of the Donges’ home, the
flames gaining rapid headway. The
fire department was called out and
prevented the flames spreading to the
Donges theater, owned by Mr. Donges,
which adjoins the home. Prompt work
by the firemen saved the theatre, but
the flames did considerable damage to
the house. The loss is placed at $1,000.”
