Fire! fire! How the sound chills the
blood, and causes every citizens to pre-
pare for action. The cry of fire last
Saturday night was an unwelcome
sound, as the night was cold, damp and
windy, and the ground was unusually
muddy. But at the first alarm there
was running to and fro. Granville
Norris was the first to see the fire, and
he ran to the signal box and turned on
the alarm. This alarm consists of
long blast from the sugar mill whistle.
Some who did not understand the
alarm. supposed the fire was near the
sugar mill, while Others had heard that
it was in the north part of town. We
were on the street, and saw men Iun-
ming IN both directions, hunting the
fire. In a short time the hose reel was
run out on the side walk, but the hose
had to be reeled up before the start.
