FIRE PROTECTION.
A Plan by which Additional CIsterns VIII

j. R. Pennington and Joe F. Robin
son with commendabbe enterprise,
have enlisted themselves in the
matter of fire protection. They are
circulating a paper submitted to
them by the three insurance agents
containing the amounts paid by each
individual as premiums on policies
now in force and on these amounts
they are asking for a ten per cent
assessment, to form a fund for put
ting in other cisterns, and procuring
place to keep the fire engine. The
revenue thus derived, if paid by all
will exceed 81 900 and will be ample
to comply with the requirements of
the insurance companies.
1t is a foregone conclusion that
unless these cisterns are put in that
Premium rates will be advanced
twenty five per cent, so it is a plain
proposition that by paying the ten
percent assessment, a saving of fif-
Teen per cent on premiums will be
the result. Not only this, but there
Is a reasonable assurance that pres
eht rates will be reduced This be-
ing true the ARDMOREITE can see no
reason why our people should not
respond without a murmer.

Events Of the Coming Year.

The coming year will be a period
memorable in the history ofthe world,
il but a part Of the plans of the Uni
ted States Government and Europe
an nations is carried out. In the
United States, there will be the live
liest presidential campaign ever held,
and the Fifty-fourth congress, now
in session, will furnish exceedingly
interesting debates on the tariff and
financial questions until June. There
will be several exciting state
elections and many great political
speeches. Every one will watch
with interest the progress ofthe Ven
ezuelan commission s inquiry, the re
suits of the wars in Cuba, in South
Africa, in Turkey, and the outcome
of other complications now arising
in the Old World.
II is a remarkable coincidence that
at the beginning of a year of such
rich promise of stirring news the great
est metropolitan newspaper in the
United States The st. Louis Repub-
lie, should reduce its price TO So
year, or TO less than two cents n day.
This low price now places the Re-
public within the reach Of everyone.
Those who wish to keep posted on
politics, trade, national and interna-
tional affairs, during 1896, should at
once subscribe for il on these terms,
in addition to taking their own local
paper.

they cannot AFFORD to take a metro

Jail with Bob Haggard, who is charg-
ed with making and passing counter
felt nickels. Haggard lives near
Foster, I. T., and owing TO the
financial panic concluded that he
would make and place in circulation
a bushel or two of nickels as a cir
culating medium to assist in bridg-
ing over the hard times. Unfortu-
nately however, for him, Uncle Sam
did not approve of his way of coming
money, hence his arrest by the
federal authorities. Counterfeiting
nicEels looks like rather small bust
ness to engage in, but Marshal
