Gooding, representing the Norwich 1'nion Fire Insurance Com pany, has presented Mr. H. F. Gaffney with a check for $85 in settlement for damages sustained on the morn ing of October 27th at the Gaffney fire. It took four days to arrange matters satisfactorily. • The local appraisers fixed the damage at $00 but the company was satisfied that Mr. Gaffney's loss was t( ally more and paid him accordingly. This knocks the tune out of that old song and dance about the meanness of Insurance Companies. The lib- erately and promptness of the Nor wich I nion in this case bears out the claim of their agent, W. H. Gooding— that there are others just as good but absolutely none better.

As will be seen from itn announce ment in another column the town council have ordered a special elec tion to bo hold next Monday for the purpose of determining whether or not the charter of Gaffney will be changed. This election was ordered on a petition signed by two-thirds of the free-bold voters of the city, and the object is to change the charter in order that the town may be cut up into wards and to leave off the ■'word “City” after Gaffney, as in the present charter. Gaffney is no longer a mere railway station. She is assuming the dimen sions of a city and at the present rate at which she is growing will have a population of ten thousand in the course of five or six years. It is just as well to prepare for tins growth and let the increase come unhamp ered. Let everybody who wishes to see the town grow get out to the polls Monday and vote for the change in the charter.
