Side Quit Hurting,
Got Stronger, Well;
CARDUI Helped Her
Mrs. R. L. West, of Huntsville,
Ada., writes: “I was weak and
run-down. I had a pain in my side,
and I kept losing weight. I grew
nervous over my oondition—this was
unusual for me, for I am very cheer
ful when I am well and don t easily
get nervous. I knew I ought to taka
something. My aunt told me I ought
to try Cardul, which I did. I began
to feel better. I kept It up until I
had taken three or four bottles. My
side quit hurting and I was soon
feeling strong and well.”
Cardul is sold at drug stores here.

“THE PATH ACROSS THE HILL”

BRIEF HISTORY
AND RECORD OF
LOCAL FIREMEN
-«—.—
First Organized Company
Was Set Up Here Shortly
After World War
History or the fire departments of
Plymouth extend back into the past
almost indefinitely, as few of the cit
izens remember those organized a
mong the members of the bucket bri
gades, but the present organization is |
interesting if studied from the point
of reminescence.
Back years ago, when a young man
came here from Rocky Mount, follow
mg the World War and became a
Salesman for a local merchant, he
brought with him a desire to organize
a systematic group of fire-fighters, as
this little town all through the days
since the Civil War has suffered the
ravages of the flames.
So, among the men of the town
Tom C. Burgess spread the propa
ganda of the need of organized fire
fighters. He had just left Rocky Mt.
three months before, where he was
a member of the fire department, and
seeeing the need of an organization
here he set about interesting the old
and young men of the town in such
an organization.
His efforts resulted in an organiza
tion being perfected, with T. C. Bur
gess as chief, L. C. Willoughby, as
sistant chief; Clarence Ausbon, hose
captain; with about 15 charter mem
bers. Many of these men have wan
dered away from Plymouth or have
lost interest in the organization or
turned its .activities over into the
hands of younger men.
There are now only three charter
members of the local department that
enlisted under the T. C. Burgess re
gime, and they are Jerry Spruill,
Luther W. Gurkin and Jack Willough
by, and some add that Jesse McNair
was also a charter member. Some
of the members have died including
W. F. Ausbon, who was a charter j
member.
These men used the old hose reels J
that were usually pulled behind a car
with the roadster of Jack Willough
by being used to pull it hundreds of
miles over the unpaved streets to the
scenes of many fires. Mr. Willough
by worked with Adolph Stubbs at a
garage on the site near the Beacon
office and with his roadster he was
usually the first to the hose house
with his car and ten firemen holding
to the car drew along the hose reel.
More than 10 years ago the small
truck now used but little was pur
chased by the town for the use of
the firemen. Previous to this time
the firemen had used the old town
water-pumping engine that is now in
the old municipal building as a curio
of the fire-fighting equipment owned
by the town for the use of its fighters.
Instead of a comfortable, homey
building to meet in as they have now,
the pioneer firefighters gathered for j
their meetings in the old building on
Water Street now' used by Chief of
Police P. W. Brown as an office. To
day the city officials and the firemen
cooperate to the last letter in their
efforts to protect the property, as
they have almost the last word in
moorized equipment.
Once a week the modern firemen
meet in their comfortable building on
. Water Street in the municipal struc
■ ture, where they have shower baths,
a lavatory, a club room screened in
[ that is comfortable the year round
and a radio and card tables for amuse- ^
ment. And they have a good attend-;
ance every Monday night.
Some of the most important fires
that have been fought are the ones
which saw a negro church and four
houses on fire at one time and the fire
i on Washington Street that damaged
several houses, and the one on Water
| Street in which the colored movie
and the bakery were badly damaged,
■and Bob Tarkenton was injured.
Present officers are: L. W. Gurkin,
: chief; J. F. Ausbon, first assistant; R.
I 1C. Tarkenton, second; J. B. McNair,
ihose captain; Roscoe Gaylord, assist
ant; Frank Spruill, secretary; Miller
Warren, custodian of physical equip
ment; engineers: J. B. Willoughby,
chief. L. D. Jones, Raymond Peal,
Dick Hardison, Carlyle Doughtie,
Harry Gurkin; Charlie Jackson, chief
marshall, and Joe Tucker Tetterton,
assistant.
