WOOD, President, .'i.i-t.?- -.-sv.r-: :;-aJ"' GeMri&4Hd&asi:W6rti If our; friends say anything good about us, we publish it and blow our horn; and, if they say anything bad about us,' we publish that too, so here goes the following communication verbatim. My dear Mr. Chaplin: You sometimes ask me for news items, and with this in mind, it has , occurred to me you might be interested in the Annual election re-. suits of Elizabeth City Fire Company, No. 1. held last evening, which . was as follows, viz: R. E. Lewis, Foreman; L. F. Mann, Asst. Foreman, E. Pratt Fearing, Chief Engineer; R. H. Raper, Asst. Engineer; Glen Dan iels, Secretary and Treasurer; R. e. Lewis, J. E. Commander E. Pratt Fearing, Investigating Comittee, Sam. Sawyer, Man to be stationed at Engine House. kindly note that the Chief Engineer Asst, Engineer and Man Sta tioned at Engine House, are simply recommended to the Board ot Aldermen, and their elections are not final until approved or con firmed by the Board. Might say the company is in excellent condition in e?erv way, and has under consideration several iropo6itions with a view of increas ing its efficiency as a fire- fighting aggregation. Now permit me to say that I h0pe you will not "twist" v i above in any wise. I say candidly that x not infrequently withhold littW items, as I have oiicc r -twice Seen items in print which I have given you, and have been - sorely disgusted. I have in miijd 3'ist uow, particularly the announcement of the marriage of L. D.: Aydlett, - which I gave you sometime ago. u - . We appreciate the eiticism contained m jt, and promise that we will try to do better; at the same time our mental olfactories scent the scarcasm and ridicule contained in and upon that we can not forego the opportunity for a few remarks. 'We get things "twisted sometimeg fts our fault;. just criminal care lessness, pure cussedness and trifiingness,'' so to speak. More often its the fault of - our friends, who put Us wrong. Old '-. Chaplin may "twist'-' up things, and isay that Bill Jones' bam is ' rainted red, when in truth, it is painted green, or that Sarah Smithsi chickens died of the cholera, when the gapes really killed, but there is one thing he has never ;done. He has never maliciously and with an intent aforesaid "twisted''? or preyerted any truth or statement to vent spleen upon his fellowman or for the purpose of injuring his fellow man.'' He Ji'totesV f air and gives every mana quare deal. t 'Who can ; gain say it? He ;gets things "twisted?" Sufe Butv iisn' error of the Hand and not of the heart. " - :s . . ' j -Say, its your business to build houses, sometimes you do a good job, "and sometimes you don't. Then mouldings, putty and paint ; comes ' to your rescue. You hide your faults . and fool your employer. r; If your Job is too rotten; you can knock it to pieces an build ijt over.;, 'Can't you fit's my; business to write for a newspaper, sometimes fix dont - understand what I am writing about, but 'still I have' got to write.
