DR.. Mullan Dead.

DR.. Francis n. Mullan, OF
South Mills, departed this life
January SYST DR.. Mullan was
more than eighty years old. His
death removes one Of the-lnost
interesting and unique PERSONAL
tiles from this community. For
more than fifty years he was one
of the chief men of wealth, en-
terprise and public spirit. But
few of the men of the old school
are left, of which DR.. Mullan
was an ideal type. He followed
his beloved wife's departure only
a few months. He never re
covered from the shock Of her
death.

Department which explains it.
self. We wish to say that this
token of appreciation is highly
priced by the Fire Company, be-
cause it is All encouragement OF
a substantial character.
The mill was situated out side
| Of the city; but the call Of distress
| even beyond city limits, is rot
made in vain when made to the
Elizabeth City fire boys.
The Albemarle Fire Company
is composed of active young men
who are always ready to respond
quickly to any call, and we have
reasons to know that the people
generally, are proud Of the Com
pany.
Much of the present efficiency
of the Company is due to the
ability and untiring energy of
its chief, Mr.. A. *. Kramer, who
is the right man in the right
place.

Mr.. 4. K. KRAMER,

DEAR Strive wish to ex-
tend our thanks through you to
the Elizabeth City Fire Compa~
ny for the prompt and efficient
service rendered at our fire.
We enclose check $500, not |
as pay for services, because we
are aware that you make no
charge, and if you did, it would
be much more than this, but we
notice among your number some
that do not make more than one
dollar per day, and we think they
2an i'll afford to drop their work

lesire that one dollar each be
rendered to those who served at
he fire, and any not claimed in
your hands to be used as you
link best for the company
