When there is fire the Hook and
Ladder boys respond no matter what
the weather or the hour of day or
night. Once year the boys ask the
public to remember them. Their re-
quest is modest and reasonable and
should be needed.

Fennimore's Oldest and most highly
respected citizens, has concluded to
leave his farm and move to Lancaster.
He has bought nice lot of his son-in-
law, Martin Oswald, and will build as
soon as spring opens.
The Hook and Ladder boys serve
the people without pay or reward.
Once year they ask the pub,ic's pat
ronage to ball. They should have
at least the price of one ticket from
every property holder in town and
then they won't be half paid for their
services.

did on its first appearance several
years ago. 1t behooves everyone to
take unusual precautions. SOFAS to be
able to ward off the ravages of the
pestiferous little germ that makes the
trouble.
