Rough and Ready Fire Company.
Rough and Ready Fire Company held a
supper Thursday evening for tho active
and honorary members. Their auxi-
liary committee have investigated a
number OF cases OF poverty and
the amount received at their
last social will be expended to the best
advantage. A feeling is circulating through
the town that it is time to organize a
fire district and have the members
under pay, for while there is excellen (
material in the Volunteer Company there
is never the degree Of discipline and
efficiency that will be found when
the men are paid for their work. The
people realize this and will take action
this spring. 1t is no use to expect men to
work hard and face danger when they are
not even getting thanks for their work.
