Ohio, were visiting friends and relatives here. Chas. Martz and wife are rejoicing over a little girl that came to their home at Camden, Monday. Saturday morning about four o’clock ihe Are bell sounded and called our company to duty. After all were together, and our citizens rushed to the engine house, it was learned that it was only to be a sham battle. The boys then made a run and in, exactly eleven minutes from the time the first stroke of the bell sounded a stream of water was directed against a building at the lumber vard. All but three members were present. This was a good showing. and our people can safely rest as sured that our boys are up to date. But some of our “early risers” became terjibiy mad because they were disturbed in their s'umbers and that o■> the 4.h ot July. They went so far as hiring John Moran to bring suit against the fire company. But these gentlemen surely did not mean that, as they ought to be glad to get out of bed for once and enjoy the good morning air, and to see how our tire company was ready at iiiy time tor duty, but if they were i; earnest, a little good advice would probably not be out of place. The next time the bell jji gs lay still, the boys will d< the work, at least, with the ones that are willing to get up. W. B. Johnson. Newark, Ohio, says: “One Minute Cough Cure saved nn only dhild from dying by croup ” It has salved thousands of others stifferim from croup. pneumonia, bronchitis and other serious throat and lung troubles, W. li.
