answered Because they had not enough

GAINESVILLE HOOK AND LAD
DER COMPANY.
EuterDrissng Young Men.

We are glad to know that the young men
of our neighboring city, GAINESVILLE, have
not only organized frst-class Hook and
Ladder Company, but have, through the
muni6cent yet Just and deserved donation
Of 81, 600 by the city authorities, purchased
the trucks, ladders, ana other usual appar-
atus. The trucks are of the finest work
manship and of most artistic finish, the body
of the painting being verDilion with gold
stripes. ,.A-t'-
The initials of the company are in gold
ard painted on every detached piece, while
they are engraved on the signal lights and
lamps, which have four different colors.
There are six ladders, each of fOrty-two,
thirty-six, thirty, twenty-five, sixteen and
twelve feet, their combined length being
one hundred and .sixty-one feet. In addi-
ton to these ladders the trucks carry three
roof and three window scaling ladders,
axes, hooks and all the other apparatus re-
quired in the foil equipment and COM
plete outfit Of 4 first class company.
An unusual feature for Clarksyille in this re-
spect is that the best young men 10 the city
compose this company. The young men
deserve credit for their efforts in organizing
this company, which viii doubtless be man
aged most efficiently and render good serv-
ice whenever an opportunity is afforded.
The city has appropriated SUFFICIENT sum
for the purchase Of steam fire engine, and
ere long, if the old men render themselves
as active and earnest in behalf Of the city's
somewhat unguarded interest, GAINESVILLE
win be proof, In a great measure, against
the fire aend, - ~

Everybody has no doubt seen The little
bookstore on the corner of Cedar and

right conception of the amount of stock
cons ined in that small room. Setlif, the
proprietor, has just removed that stock to a
commOdious building on Church street, and
filling up as it. does, room ninety-seyen
feet deep, it seems now that It was hardly
possible that these goods came out Of the
Insignificant looking structure, (more Sug-

during the unpleasantness in Morgan's ia

Last Monday a lad, aged fourteen years,
having black hair and black eyes, named
Willie Park, was induced by companion
to leave his home at Columbia and run away
to Nashville. Since his departure from
Columbia the mother of Park is almost
frantic with grief, and from gentleman
who saw the distracted parent yesterday
we learn that she may probably lose her
mind in consequence of the loss of her
child. Any information relative to the fu-
giiive, who is stout and heavy built, OBJ
tanned by the police or other persons would
be thankfully received by the distressed
mother. Park left home in company with
youth named Sam Shirley.
