The officers and members of the HOPE FIRE EN-
CINE COMPANY would RESPECTFULLY inform the
citizens of Charleston that their present hand en-
Rine ia very much out OF repair and will require q
large outlay Of money to put II in good working
condition. They eel satisfied that 1t would be use-
less expenditure Of money to repair hand engine at
this time, especially when steam takes precedence
over that which requires manual labor The engine
now in use has been i'll active service for over
twelve years.
In consideration of the above stated facts, they
have resolved to purchase substantial steamer.
lorated In of the largest and wealhiest wards of
the city, Ward No They feel confident that the
services Of such steamer would be much more re.
quiste than hand engine in times Of conhayraton,
and for tn purpose they have concluded to appeal
to our citizens for aid to carry out their planp 1t
has been .loGa Elnee this company has called
upon the public for assistance, from the very fact
that at the time they procured tue present engine,
more than one-half the amount was taken from its
treasury to maize the purchase.
The following Committee have been appointed to
canvass the various Wards OF the city to solicit sub
scNptons from such Of citizens a. appreciate
the services of who risk their lives in attempt

benefit whatever, save the satisfaction Of knowing
