The generosity OF the citizens ofChsrleston, to

In vain.
For period OF forty years serving asan En-

has been changed to the Heck and Ladder

much harder, as 1t involves the necessity OF at
tending every IRE, 10 matter In what District 1t
may occur. tt4 -
But owing to the general depression, themem-
bers OF the Company, while cheerfaly and freely
contributing their time and labor, have had nstle
else to give, and the Company, depending almost
exclusively for support upon the pay received
from the city, has found this insufficient to meet
the expenses incident to the purchase Of new
apparatus, and the maintaining Of the same In
proper state Of efficiency.
Under these circumstances, 1t has been reluo-
tantly determined to appeal to the public for aid
and assistance, and the following Committee will.
with that purpose, wait upon lhe citizens, with
the confident hope that those whom they serve
will not suffer them to ask in vain:

even on the collection of the general tax levy
there has been q deficit of from twenty-five

taxes. This deficit have previously stated to
the General Assembly was about 81 100000,
