to the Town Attorney.
The following communication
was presented and read
Ito the City Council, Town of
Flagstaff, Flagstaff, Arizona.
Gentlemen:
| am glad to say that the Light
Company has finally gotten the
fire whistle installed and ready for
service.
AS we understand it this whistle
is to be blown as a curfew and as
fire whistle. A set of signals
should be devised and published
to avoid confusion. The writer
would suggest that steady blast
of medium duration would answer
for the curfew while the alarm
might be a succession of short
blasts as used by the mills. 1t the
town were devided into fire dis
tricts the district might be sign
allied following the fire alarm and
later a second alarm turned in if
fire continued to gain Roadway.
This is merely a suggestion,
however, and the Light company
will see that the whistle is used
strictly in accordance with the
wishes of the Council. 1t is in
tended for City use only and will
not be blown at any time except
in accordance with regulations
promulgated by the City authori-
ties. Yours very truly,
(signed) G. T. Harrington,
Manager"
Moved and carried that a vote
of thanks be extended to Mr.. Geo.

of signals tdat he may device will
be satisfactory to the Council, to
return said code of signals to the

First National Bank
SHARON, S. G.

Every man or woman who has the
responsibility Of a family on his or
her hands, should do business with
the Bank.
The time was a few years back,
when comparatively few people in
this section did a banking business;
but that time Is passed. The bank is
nowadays the recognized foundation
of every important business enter
prise and everybody who expects to
develop extensive operations, must of
necessity, make use Of the bank. =.
So those who have future hopes of
business Importance, should begin
now to familiarize themselves with
| banking.
The best way to begin is to start a
small checking account. and II you
will come and see us, we will tell you
| all about it.

why.
After Sam had clustered and talked
hisself al outen broth we told him
that We personnel the reason the
Bue1e haddent reached him as prompt
every week as he nacherly expedited
It to was simply because we had
stopped it on him several wks ago and
diddent perpose to send him another
copy of the Bue1e until he had paid

We told Sam that he had been =
regular subscriber to the Bugle for

Calamity
for Hank

Hank Dewberry, one Of our best
known and LATEST citizens, who don't
do nothink from spring to fall beeuz
It's too not and then lays off until the
follering spring becuz it's too cold to
work, had \ disagreeable experients
while fishing in Snake Crick last Sun
day. .
Hank went out on the Efid9sz dver
Snake Crick with his long cane pole
and can of worms which he had
eoaxed little Sammy Hoover to dig for
him by promising Sammy that he would
take him squirt hunting some day and
give him a squirls tail if he shot one
and baited up his hook and spit on the
bait and tfrowed it into the worter and
set there waitin TOR bite.
It was quite warm day and Hank
was settin in the sun and bye and bye
he was overcome with extream lassy-
|tood, Is you might say. and dozed off
to sleep, and while thus unconscious of
his surroundings he happend to lean
forrard a leetle mite too fur and lost
his balance and blamed If he diddent
fall often the bridge IS feet into nine
feet Of cold worter.
1t was q turrible surprise to Hank
when he woke up and found hisself
under the surface. He said he diddent
know where IN thunderashion he was
until his head bodied UP, and then it
occurd to him that he must of fell of
fen the bridge. Hank hollerd as loud as
he could holler for help, but help was
skeerce, being as there wassent 4 soul
in sight and so there was nothink for
him to do but git out the best way he
could.
As rule Hank is = purity fair swim-
mer, but this calamity happend to him
50 suddint that he said he clean forgot
the first thing he ever knowd about
swimmin and went under aRin. When
he rig the seckond time he had swallerd
about gal of worter and his lungs was
full of same, as you might say, and when
he went to boiler agin he couldn't
skeercely make even gurgle and then
to make matters worse he went under
for TIE third time jest rs he happend to
drift aginst one of the stone butments
of the bridge to which he helt on like
grim deth until he got rested, after
which he CHM up the butrnent to the
bridge and went home lealein like = sieve
and in deep disgust.
Hank lost his pole. line, hook, sinher
and even the worms on it and amt re-
coverd same as We go to press. When
of the affair he said it was judgment
sent on Hank for fishing on Sunday,
but Hank says it amt the first time he
has went to sleep and fell in Snake
Crick, and II wassent on Sunday neither.
