The fire department was called out
last Friday about noon to work on tne
Methodist parsonage, which was ahre,
catching from the kitchen fue. Inc
distance is about quarter OF a mile,
and in one minute from the time the
alarm was phoned in, the boys were
playing water on it, and the damage
wasa few chsred shingles and a wet
kitchen. Undoubtedly this auto truck
is one of the best investments our city
has ever made, ard the boys are prac-
ticing and expect to have one OF the
best fire fighting company's in the
State.
One OF the most aggravatlng and CHS
graceful habits some people have is to
take their children TO the cemetery
and let them run loose like bunch OF
wild Arabs over the lots, and too, pick
flowers from the graves OF the dead,
that some one has placed there. The
children, at least, some OF them, know
no better, but the mothers that allow
& y yaI
necessary, dealt with severely When
YOU enter private lot you are tres
passing, therefore the law could hancle
YOU. We cali the attention OF parents
to this wrong doing, and unless II IS
stopped at once, we propose to publish
the names of those who take this
sacred place for playground. The
ladies' have worked hard TO beautify
the cemetery, and to have it ruined by
some don't-eare people will rot do, and
must be stopped at once.
