complete success. We understand tina
the town authorities have purchased
number for the use of the town in case o
fire. Jonesboro is sadly in need of SOM
protection against fire and we sugges
that the corporation purchase an outfit o
buckets and ladders. But without som
organization to use the apparatus in
systematic and effective manner til
above articles will be of little use in tim
of fire. Organize a fire company.
