The notorious militia captain, ,, Meu

THE SpGrtonbury Spartan is urging
the organization of fire company.
We suggest to our neighbor to try the
Hook and Ladder business. Until we
organized our Hook and Ladder Com
palIy we had on an average two flreS
wear. Since then we haven't had one
and one man has been constantly en-
poytd lending the ladders to the me-
| chanics about town, while various cltl-
zens use the rubber buckets. The
County Treasurer, for instance, makes
an ash box of one. You'd be pleased
with the Hook and Ladder Company.
Try it.

A FEW days since the Chdrlestdn

to the proper course to be pursued by
the Conservatives during the next canl-

conservative course the best, while the
GrccnpiUe Ncws is strongly in favor OF
straightout Democratic fight. We
think the ". C. c.. presents the correct
view Of the matter.
