Fire Engine 10 Fine Shape.

The impression has gotten out
about town that the fire engine is in
bad condition and that it could no
be depended upon in case OF On
emergency. Perhaps The Gar tie
is in a measure responsible for this
state Of mind of the puOlic. this
paper having some months ago said
that the machine was cut of order
and could not be depended upon.
The Gazette is overioyed to report
that we are authorized to say, on the
statement of City Sergeant Wilkins
and Special Officer Holmes. that the
fire engine IS in fine shape for good
work whnever its services are needed
This VIII be equally as gratifyins
news 10 the general public as TO Tn,
Gazette. In case of a fire we shal
all naturally expect 10 see the engini
prove its reliability by working JUS
I as il should. If it should not do Ii
work. why. you viii not blame tn

The Rev. Milton J. Hoover, pas /

had become impatient. There was
an effort made 10 have this district
combined with New Kent and
Charles City, but this plan seems TO
have been unpopular. There was
also another strong applicant for the
place, but his connection with 9
state institution brought him opPosi-
tor, not on personal or professioDa
gtounds. but because he is already
supposed to have all the work tina
he can or should do without assum'
ing other responsibilities.
The election Of Mr.. Hoover. wh'
oy education. training and e,C
perisnce. in every way capable
gives entire satisfaction in Williams
burg, as well as the county. Whil
he has not been with US quite tw
years. he has thoroughly idenufie
himself with the community, an
besides being a faithful minister {
the gospel. finds ample time to il
t.rest himself IN those things th.
go for the betterment of the PeoP
of his section and state.
He is a native Of this state. haviI
