As is customary, the citizens of High Point, including all classes, cheerfully contribute each year, to the Firemen's Christmas Fund, and every citizen is solicited again this year with the hope that our con tributions r may reach a larger amount than heretofore. During the year 1912 we have been very fortunate in escaping disastrous fires, due very largely to the efficiency of our splendid fire department, and as this service is entirely voluntary on the part of the firemen. it behooves every good citi zen of the city to do mVfuli part in contributing liberally to this fund. . Collectors will wait on. our peo- ; pie beginhitfgodia tesies extended to them will be ap preciated by all concerned. A complete list of all contribu tion will be published as soon as the work shall have been completed. Respectfully, Fred N. Tate, Mayor. . A BREAK DOWN Hon.
