Anniversary CELEBRATION


The First Anniversary of Howard
Hook and Ladder Company, the pride of
our fire department, was celebrated on
Friday, at that picturesque and lovely
place. Horse Shoe lake, two miles north
OF the city. Under the auspices of that
popular fire company, most bountiful
barbecue and basket dinner was prepar>
ed for the reception of such members of
"Monroe No. 8" rs could attend and for
numerous invited guests who were known
to have a proper appreciation of such
occasions, and to say that'the affair was
success in the highest sense of the word
is hardly doing it adequate justice. AS
to the cuisine, ETC., we were all forcibly
reminded of the annual dinners and bar
becues ut Rowland's Springs decade of
years ago, given by Company O."
Aside from the attractive feature af>
forded by the table, the impromptu
speeches by Mayor W. E Love and Maj.
Baxter Mcfarland were appropriate and
received with much applause, while the
recitation and sentimental songs, by Mr..
Frank A. Dole, of the Gordon House, were
an agreeable and pleasant surprise to all
present. Many of the firemen and Others
had bethought themselves of the appro
priateness of the occasion and had car.
ried their "sisters and their cousins and
their aunts" out to the scene, and the
bran dance-music by the colored string
band-was decidedly the most pleasan
feature of the day; dripping the ligh

waltz until old SOILS approach to thu
Western horizon gave warning of tint
for dispensing.
The First Anniversary of the Hool
and Ladder Company will be long re
membered by all who participated Oh
Friday, and succeeding celebrations anti
cipated with much pleasure.

have watched with much interest the
organization, training and equipment
of Howard Hook and Ladder Compa-

pride, the perfection of this chivalrous
and daring organization; ! have
watched the Stats nailed and clinched
upon the uprights until this once
small but now gigantic ladder is
completed, and in its completion it
has impaired confidence and feel
ing of safety to the community in
which you reside. You have enlisted
in noble cause, and at any moment
you may be called upon, as you have
in the past, to gallantly respond to
the alarm of the hre-bell as it may
summon you from peaceful slumbers
for the preservation of life and prop
erty from the ravages Of the fiery
fend. In such emergencies well dc
| know how nobly and promptly,
you will rally to the call. May your
future history add new honors and
laurels to those already achieved by
the Howard Hook and Ladder Com
pany.

better; cotton is not doing so well,
owing to so much cold weather, but
they all think by the time it is work

will make good cotton. Other pro-

etc, are in splendid growing order,

tiful forests that stretch away in the
distance.
BY the way, must not forget to
mention our May Festival. Growing

were beautifully dressed in white

songs. The school closes next Friday

at work in the huge cut, Blanton's
Gap, which is about midway between
Kosciusko and Aberdeen, and when

EDITORS EXAMINER:
In withdrawing my name from before
the public as a candidate for the Office
of Chancery Clerk, l beg leave to state
that have not attempted to make any
part of CANVASS, but my gratitude is
inexpressble for voluntary letters of
encouragement received from all parts
of the county, and for every expression
of support manifested by my friends in
this my first attempt to secure an office
of any profit. Nothing but an ardent
desire that harmony shall exist in the
ranks of the party, prompts this card.
In Withdrawing from the race, l leave
four honest, upright gentlemen, whose
future will be crowned by the same
answering patriotism which has ever
characterized their actions in the past.

cess of the Democratic party of my
county, and after the nominations are
made, If my services are needed, l shall
respond to any call that may be made
upon me to assist in securing the elec.

is always actuated by principles Of

WITHDRAWAL.

The numerous friends and sup
porters of Hon. JOHN G. BURDINE, in
all portions of Monroe county, will
regret to learn of his withdrawal
from the contest for Chancery Clerk,
as published in a patriotic card in
our journal to>day. The past un>
selfish and valuable services of Mr.
Burdine in the interest of his party
has not been forgotten by his friends,
and his devotion to it's welfare is the
reason for his retirement from the
canvass as an Office seeker, as he
could not consent to becoming
a possible factor of strife and
discord in the ranks Of q party
to whose success he has given sew
eral years Of faithful service. It is
proper here to say that his announce
ment for the position of Clerk was
made by his friends without his
knowledge. In the canvass that is
to be made by the Democracy after
the assembling of the County Con>
vention and the nominations are
placed before the people, Mr.. Bur
dine will be found among the most
ardent and untiring laborers for the
success of the ticket and he may be
relied upon for effective service.
There are several other gentlemen
aspiring to the position. either one
of whom will fill the Office ably and
to the entire satisfaction of all con-
cerned.
