Zalma Wool Carding Mill and Grocery Store Destroyed in Fire
A severe blaze in Zalma at 11 15 Monday morning leveled the McMinn estate wool carding mill and the nearby Randolph James grocery. The mill, the county's finest, burned with valued machinery and grain losses around 16000 dollars with no insurance. James lost nearly all merchandise though his family narrowly escaped. The fire started in the wool carding room from wood treated with oil and spread rapidly, threatening the town's livelihoods and erasing much of Zalma's brisk year round business.

Special Committee Report From Hollinger County Jail Fares
A Hollinger county jail committee reports total expenses for guard and transport of prisoners over the past four years reach 1,322.07 with yearly average 42.71, noting unlisted costs and possible undercounting due to limited time. Reasons given include more prosecutions in 1893 1894 and prisoners working off fines on public roads increasing costs. The committee projects annual guard and transportation costs not fall below 900 per year over ten years without a jail. Signed by Saintoney Evenank F M Wats W K Chandler.
