Editor Republican . —Upon all sSjes comes the reports of large fires, and serious loss to property, it will be oar tarn Boon and what means have we to fight the coming destroyer? It is not time that onr city fathers were looking to the safety of the property? Would it not lie well to have two or three large cisterns built upon Washington street, and have the water from the buildings, that now goes into the gutters, conducted into, them, so that in case of a fire, we might have something to fight it with? Would it not be more paofitable for some of our young, men to organize a Hook and Ladder x company, to help save our property, should a fire occur, than to organize base ball clubs, and get broken noses and banged up fingers? We know that the north side of Washington street is an immense fire-trap from Front St. to Van Rensselaer, and should a fire come any where upon that side the whole block would inevitably go. Only a few days ago Monticello just saved her beatiful school building, because they had an organized fire company. It would be very distressing to ns to see our town laid in ashes, or even a portion of it, nor can we 1 afford to lose the property, on the north side of Washington street, though some of, the buildings are not architectural beauties, they will, and do, serVe the purpose of doing, business in, and we cannot afford to dri ;e any business away. Now let the Common Conn-' cil put down two or three large cisterns, enact an ordinance to have the water from the roofs of of the buildings along the street conducted thereto, and for fear of a long dry season let the waste from the wind pump be conveyed, by pipes, into the said cisterns. Then let our yonng men organize n fire company, and let the citizens club and procure a fire engine, and hose, and it will be the means of bringing a sense of saffcy to the community, lower the rate of fire insurance, and be a blessing and benefit to the town. Ergo, sleep on in the fancied sense of security, tintfl the fire fiend sweeps away a goodly portion of our town, and then quote. “For as all sad words of tonjjne or pen’ Tlio saddest are these: ‘lt might have been’’ Therefore let us be up and doing, and not behind onr sister towns, but let us have an organized fire company, a Hook and ladder company, or something that 1 looks at heal security, and no longer rest in fancied security. Excelsior.

mI THE SECRETARY-OP Jailptr polity |«ar9 of jJeaUii. RENSSELAER T.VI). Eeb. Ist, 1883 I wish to call Vic attention of the Medical prof ession of Jasper County to some fads relative to the filling of blanks of Births, [Deaths, and Diseases dangerous to public health. The law specifies that blanks should be relumed within fifteen days after the occurrence of a birth , or death, etc. If they are sent in at thclendof each month that will fill aU.fhe requirements of this office, and if done promptly will Save much trouble ? and some expense. It is earnestly urged upon all physicians, ‘mid-wives, and householders, to make returns of all cases coming under their care. Collect your information at the lime you attend the case, and be sure and gel all the facts so as to make a full report. Do not omit '“Nationality/’ “Place of Birth/’ nor “Age/’ of parents. Do Pol omit any thing. Some of the items may appear useless, and even superfluous, but other Stale Boards of Health have adopted them and find a complete record cannot be made without them. Our state in adopting them starts where the others left off. When persons are natives of the United Stales use the ward. “Native’’ in giving Nationality. A little carton the pari of each, will enable the Stale Department to compile vital Statistics, that, it. is hoped, may he\ a benefit to the people of the stale at large. 1 desire that all will cheerfully comply with the law, and aid in making the health Slatsi sties of our County complete, so that we may know whether Jasper county is the healthiest county in the stale or not. All reporldtforwarded by mail will be receipted for by postal card/so that all may hibw that their reports have been received. ‘ LB.'WASHBURN, M,D„ Health Officer, Jasper County- . wnan HIRAM SIBLEY ft CO.
