No Firemen's Celebration.

The feeling prevalent through the
town owing to the assassination of Presi-
/ dent Mckinley is clearly averse to a
general firemen's celebration this Fall.
Then, too, the matter was proposed al
together too late In the season. Action
should have been taken in July at least,
Jas that would have given the invited
organizations plenty of time in which to
make arrangements, and also allowed the
local companies ample time to prepare
for the proper reception and entertain
Iment of their guests. The following
has been received from
THE Town Clerk, which is self-explan-
|atory.
MoRRI N. j., Sept. II, 1901.
|Ofice of City Clerk and Treasurer, Nor
ristown, N. j.
John B. Ayres, Esq, Chairman Fire
Parade Committee. Morristown, N. j.
Dear Sir 81 have been instructed by
THE Chairman of the Finance Commit
|tee and Fire Committee of the Board Of
ALDERMEN, to whom the request of your
scommittee for an appropriation of 81 600
toward defraying the expenses of a
general celebration Of the Fire Depart
ment was referred, to inform you that
the committee, after due consideration
lof the matter, regret that it will be
impossible for them to recommend the
sgranting of the request, on account OF
the condition of the finances s'of the
town. Had the financial condition OF
the town permitted, the committee de-
sire me to State that they would have
/ been very glad to recommend the
granting Of the appropriation asked for.
The members Of the committee, as
well as all the members Of the Board Of
Aldermen, l have been authorized to
Say, are heartily in favor of the plan
flor a firemen's celebration, and will
individually aid your committee in
raising the necessary funds to defray
the expenses of such a celebration in
ANY other way your committee may
Suggest.
Yours very truly,
CHAS. STILwELL, JR.,
Town Clerk.

The American House, at TannersviLlt

had two coats of Mixed Paint five year
ago; last spring had two more coats O
the same.

cents less.
Right across the street, Charles Hane
painted one coat of Devoe & Raynold'
Eat the same time-last spring.
The Haner house is the better Job; bu
wait five years.
The point of the story is that Willis,
lis sorry already. He has learned some
thing that not one man in thousand
iknows-that gallon of one kind O
paint can contain twice as much pain
Jas gallon of another kind of paint.
You can't afford to put on anotheI
paint even If you have it given to you
At the same time, you see, that Mixed
Paint appears to have worn five years
fgiye the devil his due.
Yours truly,
