Clover needs fire protection. We have
no water works, no fire company
nothing with which to fight. While we
have been fortunate in not having had
much serious loss by fire we could not
expect to escape always. If fire
should get started in several parts OF
our town there would be nothing but
private wells for water supply We
have not got even q fire alarm. The
last fire we had on the cotton plat
form there were numbers of men with
in so yards Of the fire that did not
know any thing about it until the cot
ton was all burned over. BY all means
let us have a fire bell so the alarm can
be given and we may know when we
are burning up.
