Our village voted last spring at its an
nual meeting, the trustees committee
to look for suitable location for an en-
CINE house, as the }. G. Mccullough
Fire Company had been formed and
there was no suitable place for keeping
the engine, which is considered one Of
the best. aside from steamer, and a
room was also needed for the accOmmO-
datiOn of the Company for holding meet
lngs and general purposes, and to report
in thirty days. The outcome was the
voting of about two thousand dollars to
be expended by the trustees, who pur-
chased the premises formerly used as a
wheelwright and blacksmith shop and
had been abandoned, leaving that part
of the village in an unsightIy condition,
and which is now transformed into a
beautiful building well adapted for the
purposes intended, and which is accept
ed by the citizens, as also by the fire
company, as just the place which has
long been needed here. A supper was
given at the dedication of the building,
Wednesday evening, with tables set in
the second story, of which about three
hundred partOok 1t was gotten up by
the friends generally. ana all are the
friends of those who give their time and
eXertiOns so faithfully when the flames
of the fire fiend would seem to be able
to destroy the value and beauty of our
prosperous village. A piano was in use
in the first story for instrumental solos
and duets and as an accompaniment in
singing. A very enjoyable time was had
in conversation and congratulations that
so pleasant a place had been provided
for our excellent fire company, in which
all participate. After the supper and
exercises, those who desired went to
Bank Hall, where an orchestra has been
provided, and spent season in dancing.
One object of the occasion was obtaining
money Tor furnishing the rooms of the
building and a gOOdly sum was raised.
WIN Jue uiJy uOlldlS WHlCu was B6neI-
Ously presented by General Mccullough.
the assets we're about 1925, which will
pay for the furniture and leave SO or
800 over. Prizes we're given and signed
for by many, and money handed in by
some who dislike such way of raising
funds. Altogether, it was one of the
pleasantest occasions which have been
enjoyed in our village and all wish our
fire company a great deal of pleasure in
the cOnvenlences afforded by the new
building.
The ladies of the Congregational
church will hold sociable on Tuesday
next, with sewing in the afternoon and
supper and an entertainment IN the even
