GIxyIsG OUT rnE DRoSRs.-The fire
engine companies Of Virginia, at their
most recent meetings, have been doing
good work aud setting good examples in
espelling all who fail to pay their regu-
lar dues. washoe Engine Company,
No. 4, last Monday evening expelled
some twelve or fifteen, and next Monday
evening will expel o lot more unless
:hey cash up forthwith. There are
plenty Of men who like to belong to the
Fire Department, just because by so DO
ing they u escape jury duty, and nave
other privileges accorded them, yet they
are too mean or negligent to help pay
the regular expenses OF Keeping up the
company organization. They like all
the privileges, but would have others
pay for them. Many Of these drones
hardly pretend to ever be present at the
meetings Of the company, much less
work at q fire, yet they desire their
anne retained on the roll. The sooner
all such are expelled, and active bremen
substituted, the better. The Gold Hill
FIRE companies might follow suit, with
profit.
