FOR CAPITAL NOW

DOVER. Del. March 10.-Members
of the Robbins Hose Company. last
night announced they had obtained
by individual efforts and public sub
scriptions the $4,000 which the new
motor fire truck cost. With the motor
driven apparatus added to the COM
pany. tho organization, tre insurance
representatives assert, is one of the
best equipped companies on the PEN
insula.
The Robbins Hose Company was or
ganized in 1882 by business men and
merchants. when the city finances
were sufficient to provide for tho con-
struction of water works and sys-
tenn of fire pipes and hydrants, but not
ample for equipment.
When the business men learned It
would be two years before the re-
ceipts from all sources could provide
for the purchase of fire apparatus
they, led by James r. Robbins, a pio-
neer packer organized the company.
The funds gathered then enabled
the State Capitol to be among the first
towns in the Peninsula to be guaran-
teed protection against fire. Since
then. business men have been in
charge of the expansion Of the COM
pany, until now younger generation
has assumed control. There are 90
active members of the company.

it is no encouragement and causes
sinners to doubt the christianity of

UNCLE TOMS LETTER

During the last ten days we've had
three protracted or revival services 60
ing on here within less than mile of
each other. The MethodIsts at Mt.
Pleasant have had what 1 call good
meeting with some or conversions
and a revival of the church. The
Christians, or more correctly speak
ing, the Campbellites. have been car
rying on a series of services which
we hope did good. The Holiness, or
sanctified faction, came and put up
tent and have been entertaining a
crowd for several days and nights and
not much doing in the way of saving
souls. They put in the day trying to
explain the second work of grace to
believers, but like every single one
who has undertaken the job, they
have not made success. If man
has the experience of sanctification he
knows it and to fool away time, trying
to explain it is something no living
man can do.
Well, the kids of Tracy City are in
the front at church and everywhere
else occupying the best seats while the
old folks must take the rear or stand
up, if there are no seats for them.
The dear little lads and lasses are the
''its" in this town, How is it in
other placesH We are spending lot
of money to put them to the front. and
they are quick to take the place.
Shadrick Hill has one of the best
and most orderly Sunday schools l ev
er saw. Quiet' should say they are.
Charlie Way is superintendent and
ought to be proud of his school and /
guess he is. One thing can and will
compliment the Shadrick Hill people
for and that is their orderly conduct.
They are not guilty of any improprie
ties so far. Wish could say as much
for other communities around Tracy
City.
A proposition is before the Sunday
school to change from morning to ev-
ening. / shall oppose the change for
reasons not necessary to state. Each
community does better to manage its
own affairs.
The Hill has fine prayer meeting
principally conducted by the women
of Elbow Hollow and interest is in
creasing. Plans are being made for a
great revival on the Hill, whether at
the house or in the grove I can't state
vet. A church meeting is called for
to settle that and some other matters.
The Congregational Methodists are
about as firm and true to God as any
on the mountain. They are plain old
fashioned worshippers without any up
to date modern attachments.
Rev. S. M. Keathly, of the M: E.
south, will be conducting re-
vival services in his own church by
the time this appears in print. We
are hoping he will get as near the old
time way as possible. We love the old
time religion the best and the old time
way, but few are willing to adopt the
old time way and sing the old time
songs of the fathers. The choir has
not been trained to sing without the
organ, and to cut it out and institute
the old time congregational singing
would be an insult to the choir. Well.
The old time way would be new way
and favor running the next revival
in the old time way. We don't need
instruments of any kind in a revival
