PRoPosITIoN.-Bolivar is sadly in need of
a well organized fire company. Would it
not be well to make an effort? Certainly
there is enough at stake here even now to
warrant such step. Soon a magnificent
court house, costing twenty-five thousand
dollars, will be completed, and will actually
demand protection from accident or incen-
diarism, besides, our town is so constructed.
especially the business portion, that should
Ere break out it would, in our present con
dition, be next to impossible to arrest a de-
structiye conaagration Insurance would
be Iessened to at least one-half, an item
alone that would save the cost of an engine
the first year. The proposition, from con
versation with merchants and property hold
ers. seems to meet with favor. Suppose we
take hold Of the matter and see what can
be done. An organization can be perfected
in a very short time; all that is needed is
the machine Who will set the ball in mo-
ton ?

town. The preaching has been Of the mo-
wing revival kind, sWaying with moral power

most powerful revival ever held In Bolivar
