"A Senseless Superstition - From the Uniontown Standard.
[paragraph] There is one peculiarity about the many marriage licenses
taken out at the recorder's office. It is this, that none are issued on
Friday. The officials of that office inform us that, during their term,
not a single application has been made on Friday. The old superstition
that Friday is an unlucky day seems to have considerable force even at
our day of advanced civilization."

CREAMERY - Geo. W. McCammom
Creamery at West Alexander Hazed by Flames Loss Almost Covered by
Insurance - About 10 a.m., Thursday, the creamery of Geo. W. McCammon,
of West Alexander, was discovered on fire, and under such headway that
it could not be checked, and the building was completely consumed.
There was an insurance of $1,000 on the structure, but this will
not quite cover the loss. A
quantity of butter, almost ready for shipment, was saved.
It is not known how the fire originated.
Some adjoining buildings were badly scorched, but were not
damaged seriously."
