The Citizens Meeting.

On last Friday q meeting of the citi-
zens OF the town was called to take into
consideration the ACCESSIBILITY Of. getting
aftown clock and a fire engine. After
discussion the matter of the town
clock was indefinitely postponed, and
tho following committee was appointed
to get up information concerning the
fire engine and report at a meeting to BIO
called some tipe September: L. w.
White, A. b. Wsrdlaw, L. P. Cothran,
T.. c. Seal, Jones F. Miller.
Very little enthusiasm was manifested
in these matters, aud it is to be regretted
for a fire engine with cisterns of water
on the square would afford great pro-
lection to the valuable property Of the
town. We are in hopes the committee
will gain all the desired information
and be able to make a favorable report.
Our citizens should take an interest in
these Matters and show that all public
spirit is not dead in the old town.
