ALDERMEN WILL
 HELP THE FIREMEN
AN APPROPRIATION WILL BE MADE TO HELP PURCHASE Al HOOK AND LADDER WAGON FOR THE VOLUNTEERS.

Pratt City. March -(special)-The board of mayor and aldermen will meet tomorrow night at the city hall, and will probably make the appropriation necessary to purchase the new hook and ladder wagon for the Pratt City volun- teer fire department The wagon will cost about $500.
 Sometime ago the citizens met and started a movement to obtain a hook and ladder wagon. A committee was appoint ed and took charge of the matter. The sum of S147 was subscribed by the citi- zens. The fire department, it is under stood, will give s200 to the fund and the city council will appropriate the rest Of the required amount. As soon as the coun- eil meets next Monday and passes the ordinance providing for the appropriation the committee will order the wagon, which 1t is thought will arrive In two weeks time.
 The petition signed by number of voters of this beat No. 29, requesting that Harry A Dickingson be appointed Justice of the peace of this beat to fill the vacancy caused by the removal of James Began, has been presented to Gov ernor Jelks, who will probably act on 1t in a few days. MT. Dickinson is one of the leading lawyers of this city and Is the only applicant for the position. MT. Dickinson Is not a candidate for the place in the coming primary.
