Fire Company in this town, acd we were
requested to bring this mutter before the
pai pie ol the town , and ask that somo live
energetic man take Imld of this enterprise
and organize the company at once. This
Is something that Las k"en nierte.l for a
long time. There la a vast amount of pro.
pe-ty bete that would be entirely den
troveil should a Ore break nut. as there
would be no possible chance to get a an til

tinguish the flames. Now the aoove en
terprise would be but a small tax on each
one, and all who own property would not
hesitule to contribute, if not henome mem
bars of ihe company, as It would ba almost
the same as an Insurance on the property.
Wo simply mention this matter at the re
quest of one of our cltizmia, and would be
pleased to hear an ex presiuti t f opinion on
this subject. We have quite a number of
