RECOMMENDS FIRE
TRUCK Be PURCHASED
BY THE CITY soon
COMMITTEE UNANIMOUS IN ITS
APPROVAL. OF THE IN
yESTMENT.
WILL INVESTIGAT Ellis N {
Committee to Go to Decatur for a
Demonstration Of the American La
France Truck There In Service for
That City.

At a ing of the committee ap-
pointed by the mayor to look into the
matter of purchasing an auto truck,
at the Maury National Bank Friday
afternoon, every member was hearth
ly in favor IF such an investment.
Not only is the committee in favor
of the purchaes but every member
of the board of aldermen, including
the mayor, is Of the opinion that such
an investment for the ity would be a
wise one. No particular truck was
recommended, but an investigation
of trucks will be made at once
The argument made in favor OF the
investment is that the threatened
raise of insurance rates at an carly
date by the Tennessee inspection bu-
reau will force the establishment of
another fire station at or near the
depot which will involve practically
one half as much as the auto appara-
tus This together with the increas-
ed maintenance within a very short
time would amount to more than the
amount required for the purchase of
the motor drawn apparatus, without
considering .he superior protection
afforded Dy the new materials.
In every instance where an nves-
tigation has teen made the informa-
ton received has been very M,
favor of the proposed investment.
A committee composed of w. o.
Cherry, chairman of the fire commit
tee, Eugene Ritter, fire chief, w. P.
Erwin, T. B. Forgey, Conner Akin
and Mayor Dedman, have accepted
the invitation of S. P. Blanc, repre-
senting the American LaFrance Fire
Engine Co., to make a visit to Deca-
tur, Ala, and witness a demonstra-
ton of the engine made by his com
pany.

- By Rev. ThOs. B. Gregory -

~ He battle of Narva, fought 2lS
years ago today, win ever be
Il reckoned among the most re-
merkable conflicts Of history.
Narva, a Swedish port only 50 miles
southwest from st. Petersburg, was
earnestly. coveted by Peter the Great,
and in october. 100, the car laid
siege to the place with $4,000 men and
$50 guns. The garrison of less than
a thousand men successfully with
stood the big Russian army for 10
weeks. and in the meantime news
came that the Swedish king was on
his way to attack the besieSers-
Peter. hearing OF the approach OF
Charles, ordered $4,000 reinforce
ments. and leaving the main BODY IN
the trenches. planted the $4,000 across
the road few miles out of Narva-
Appearing suddenly before the out
post Charles attacked 1t with such I'M
petuOsity that the Russians ran N
terror and confusion. Thirty thou
sand men ran like sheep before 5000,
and stopped not till they were Wlshln
the trenches at Narva-
Attacks 100000 Men.
But Charles did not stop With
his 5000 SWedes he dared to attack
an army of more than 100000 men
and $50 cannon in position and
q binding snOWstOrm, the SWedess
with fixed bayOnets rushed in, Charles
himself leading. and in a little while
the Muscovite line was wiped out Be
fore the charge of the Swedes the
mighty array vanished like a cloud be-
And stiIi Charles kept on. There
was still standing at bay an army OF
10000 men, and upon this force Charles
was about ready to pOunce, when
there came a message from the COM
handing general of the enemy s
forces. He had heard of the Swedish
kings -magnanimity. and he would
surrender if the right terms were
given. Tell him." said Charles, TO
lay down his arms and I viii listen
to him." The advice was accepted,
and $4,000 Russian soldiers, bare
headed and in deep humiliation, piled
their arms and standards at the feet
OF the cOnquerOr-
When we stop TO think that Charles
the Twelfth was at this time less than
19 years old, and that he commanded
but 5000 men. while the Russians had
over 100, 600 and $50 guns, there is no
escaping the conclusion that NarFa
was indeed a famous victory"
