Pursuant to a call OF our honoreq
Commander, DR.. ]. S. Stanley, small
number of our Camp met at the Court
House on last Saturday. Owing TO
sickness, our Commander was not able
to be with Us, fact which we all re-
GREETED as he had endeared himself to
every member Of the Camp, by his de-
votion to the cause we all love 30 well.
On motion ! was called to the chair
but as there were so few present, We
thought it best to postpone the meet
ing until Saturday, July 2Sth, at which
time we hope that every member who
can possibly do so, will attend. We
will elect our officers on that day and
will appoint time where we can have
at least a basket dinner for the old
veterans and their families. 1t was the
unanimous opinion of all present that
we ought not to allow this year to pass
without having a reunion. Our ranks
are thinning year by year and this
fact ought to bind all who survive
closer and closer as time passes By.
The meeting will be held at eleven
o'clock on Saturday, July 25th in the
Board of Supervisors room at the
Court House, and we earnestly urge
every member to attend.
E. D. CAVETT.
Acting Commander.

AMERICAS BIG FIRE LOSS.

Why is it that America has the larg-
est fire loss of any other country in
the world where conditions are at all
similar? In New York alone the fire
loss is three and one-half times as
great as in London or Paris.
Not only is the fire loss so much
greater, but fires are so much more
numerous in proportion to population
in the American city than in these two
big European cities. New York has
annually four times as many fires as
London and two and one-half times as
many as Paris.
The significance of these figures may
be better understood from the further
statement that the annual fire toll in
America is over $500000000, an aver
age of more than S. for every inhabi-
tant or of SIS per family, which must
be paid for in insurance, maintenance
of fire departments and in other ways.
Yet with this great difference in loss
there are in no country so many fire.
proof buildings, and being a newer
country, there are few old fire traps to
be contended with, but many more
buildings of modern construction. One
of the principal reasons of Americas
poor showing in fire statistics, is the
carelessness of her pepole. We are too
reckless, too indifferent as to the haz-
ards we take; too disregardful of fire
laws and regulations; in fact too dis
posed to let things take care of them
selves, trusting to luck rather than
discretion, in safeguarding our proper
ties.
| Maybe we will grow wiser as we
grow older; if not we may all expect
to go up in one big conAagration one
of these days.-Clarion Ledger.
