In the death of Mrs. G. w. Hobbs,
which occurred last Tuesday morning,
there has passed away one who was
borne in the highest respect and es-
teen by our entire community. The
sufferings of her last illness We're met
in the faith and strength of the Chris
tan, and it is for the nearer circle OF
relatives and afflicted friends to 'sor.
row not, even as Others which have no
hope" She has not passed beyond the
reach of their affection, and she will
long be remembered for her many
traits of truly Christian character.
When are we to have q proper fire
organization for this village? We say
again that there is urgent need of it.
We require of course at once, more and
better apparatus for fighting fire than
we now have-but we also greatly
need an organized fire company. A
mob can do little at fire in saving
property. We have the very best OF
material in our young men of Island
Pond for the organization of even too
hose or fire companies, which should
be thoroughly drilled, meeting regular
ly for practice, and perhaps stimulat-
ing one another by healthy rivalry
There should also be some system in
the giving Of a general alarm to
our citizens on the occasion of n fire,
either by the sounding of steam
whistle or the ringing of one of our
church bells. We do not intend to
Jet this matter drop until something
is done.
T. S. Since the above was in type
we learn that u great deal has been
done in this matter. We are Informed
that Mr. Moves has got 50 new buckets
made, several hooks and new ladders,
200 feet of the best hose that could b.
procured and the wheels and body OF
wagon nearly completed; and we are
further assured that proper and ef
iicient organization will be- effected
when all the necessary materials are
received.
