lly hoped he may do so and still assist il
maintaining the success of the village.
1t is but a few weeks since he brough
his bride here and opened his house
with the intention of remaining to max
this his home for the most of the time.
Our townspeOple hope he will still COZ
Time to make his residence here anon
his old acquaintance and friends.
We earnestly wish this calamity woul
arouse our citizens to the duty of form
ing at least hook and ladder compan
with some chosen leader who would hav
the authority to conduct systematic wor
in time of need. l am sure the ladie
would furnish a good complimentary
dinner each time the fire company wer
called out. Some day our village will b
needlessly sacrificed because of tn
neglect of our people.
