Surprised Firemen.

Last Tuesday night was the regular
monthly meeting of the Alma Fire De-
partment. Upon such occasions the
fremen are III the habit Of going through
the regular routine of business and the
discussion Of anything of special inter
est TO the department. 1t was in the
midst of these exercises that loud
knocking at the door interrupted the
proceedings and upon investigating the
cause therefor, about fifteen members of
the w. II. G. filed into the room. The
fire laddies were taken completely by
surprise but had presence of mind
enough to offer the ladies chairs and
make them welcome but there was still
Il greater surprise in store for them,
when Mrs. w. S Turck in behalf of the
w. r. q. arose and, with few well
chosen words, thanked the firemen for
their assistance in presenting the blue
and Gray" and in token of their regard
presented the department with three
nice books for their library. One or two
members responded with the thanks of
the department, and then the w. r. @.
members proceeded TO pass light refresh
ments around. After disposing of the
same the firemen entertained the ladies
with few songs and before they re-
tired the boys gave three cheers for the
w. r. G.
The firemen are always glad TO well
come the citizens of the town at any
time TO their hall and wish more of
them would come and see them now
they have their rooms in a more present
able shape for visitors.
