The fms meeting of the late and the
original Wideawake hook and Il oder com.
pany was held last evening to adjust all
outstanding Indebtedness and 20 dispose
OF the small surplus in the hands of the
treasurer. This company was first organ
lied in 1871. From.that date to the
present ten OF the original mem bers were
on the roll at the last roll call They can
say that the fourteen years service par
took Of pleasure and large amount of
hardship. The company stood the finan
cial strain as long as they possibly could
and did not give it up until tb cir money
box was nearly empty. The finances and
extra labor entailed by the horse service
made it necessary to disband. The
membership will. and it was the ex-
preston of those present, that
they in their individual capacity would
assist to the best Of their ability In lend-
ing aid in case of emergency. After all
accounts had been audited and were in
the hands of Treasurer Winter and a vote
of thanks to the friends who had stood by
them. they, as an organization adjourned
sine die. Thus goes out of existence ore
of the best companies in the city.
This company has no relation to
the one recently organized under
the sole authority of the chief, and
with which the council has so
far had nothing to do, and is not likely
to have as volunteers. The old Wide
Awakes who disbanded last night in
cluded some of our veteran firemen and
they disbsnded because they realized as
clearly as possible the fact that paid de
partment is the only system for Rock Isl.
and. and that money expended on the
volunteers is thrown to the winds.

Meeting of the Hancock County Baptists.

Three years ago at the Hancock Baptist
Association held at Franklin, new depart
ure was made in the work of benevolencc
by an organization of the association,
called the Hancock Association Benevo
lencc system. This association is thus
organized by the election annually of a
general committee to superintend the work
with its proper oilicersza treasurer to re-
ceive and disbuIse the funds and an agent
in each of the churches. The principle to
be carried out is that expressed in the
l6 chap. II Cor. 2 verse. Each agent is
supplied with quantities of the "Lay-by
envelope" having upon it the words, among
others, son the first day of every week
will put into this envelope something for
Gods Kingdom" These are distributed
and received quarterly; an effort being
made 10 put them into the hands of every
member of the church and as many as
possible beside. The system has been a
decided success from the start, whether
considered from the standpoint of the
number of persons contributing or the
amount of money raised.
The first semi-annual meeting of these
various officers, together with the men,
bcrs of the churches. was held with the
Baptist church at Ellsw orth, Wednesday,
Nov. II, beginning at 10 o'clock. Meeting
was called to order by Rev +. A. Mason,
ri pf ftar sbn
prayer service, on motion, the committee
was authorized to manage the session.
which was done by calling Bro Horace
Perkins TO the chair and appointing W.
ii. Rice clerk.
Reports of the agents from the various
churches occupied most of the forenoon
session. About twenty two of the churches
were reported by letter or otherwise,
many of the agents being present to re-
port in person. These reports were in the
main cheering. Rev. +. S. Bickford made
a brief address on the various benevolent
organizations represented on the envelope,
which was plain, full and comprehensive.
Such presentation of the work that be-
nevolent contributions are intended to ac-
compli>h would be attended with material
results if oftener made in our churches,
At this point lunch was served in the
vestry by the good ladies OF the Ellsworth
church.
At ! r. NJ. a short praise service was led

by Rev W. G. S,ctson, prayer offered by

in which he urged the reflex influence Of
nilsson work upon the denomination, up
on associations, churches and individuals.
With many pertinent quotations and ex-
amp!e> Illuminating the truth and enforc-
ing the principles, he gained the hearers
assent and produced the conviction that
