Mr.. BoWlus OF New Orleans, spent Sunday in
CoVlngton, whittier he came to talk Chemical
Engine" to the gentlemen of the Council. This
is most significant, and promises we'll for the
possession by our town of something more in
the way Of fire protection than bucket of water
and willing man. This column has always held
that the CoVingtOn men were heroes where it

along the cause.
