So far we have net had a fire in the

Too much care cannot be exercised
as regards bush fires; and those who
are not familiar with the strict law
fires. that is, the starting
of any fire, even on ones own farm,
should apply to the fire warden or
his deputies for a permit, if they
wish to protect themselves and the
people at large. The main thing in
to the wa1dens for the per.
NIT is that they may know and be on
the lookout for any trouble from the
places where fires are being started.
In this part of the town all of Mr..
Turner'S men are over in the west
part of the town, and at present all
of the balance but a few are busy
setting trees in Bigelow Hollow. A
fire in this neighborhood is unusual,
for the fact that most of the men un-
derstand how to burn brush or rub
bish, and when. Our fires in times
past have been caused by thoughtless-
ness and inability, and in most cases
by irresponsible parties. The man
that caused the last big fire in town
evidently thought Union too hot
place for him to reside and left. He
did not leave soon enough; should
have left q week before. The fire
warden of the town is Morgan Reed,
and his deputies in the several school
are: Charles Webster, Myron
Heck, W. g. Howard, Fred W. Moore
and 81. r. Howard.
