no pay and the members of the
Pioneers bore the greater part n
the expense of keeping up their
company. The machine was pail

Every year the company visiter
some town or city in thrf state
carrying their machine, to contest
for honors with companies from
ither cities. I never failed to go
with the boys, for wo had gala
times. These volunteer firemer
were welcomed and honored where-
ever they went, being all leading
citizens and business men and thr
Pioneer Hook and Ladder was the
crack organization of Georgia and
only once failed to capture and
bring home the prize. Some of
their trophies are preserved in the
firemen's hall at the end of Wash
ington street. We vanquished nil
opponents In Macon, Rome. Mariet
ta, Augusta and other places, hut
It was In the latter city where we
met our Waterloo, Always after
victory the boys on Ihcir return
home were met at the Georgia do-,
pot, then the only railway to en-,
ter Athens. The depot was on top
of the hill in East Athens. On
triumphant return home the
citizens would me4t us with a
brass band and escort us Into
town winding up with a feast and
flow of eloquence that night.
You can judge how the boys fell
when they receive^ that defeat In
Augusta nnd had # to return home
as the Vanquished. Instead of vic
tors, nnd our laurels transforms
Into weeping willows. During the
ride from Augusta w© were sur
mising what sort of reception we
would 'nefelve nqd hoped to be
ignored or that we might return tc
our homes unhonored nnd unseen.
When the train halted at tho de
pot, In glancing out of tho Indows
the spectacle that met our eyes
the old black hearse of Gann
Reaves drawn up at the conch
door, Charley Baldwin mounted on
the driver's seat, with about five
yards of .black crepe ’streaming
from his hat. On front of

A SALES VALUE?
Answer in Great Measure
Depends on Character of
the Guarantee.
Whether an article that U guar
anteed is more easily sold than on*
which 1s not has recently become
dlscused In trade circles. Some
retails contend that guarantee;
have become so universal ant
usually mean so little that the av
erage purchaser puts little faith
in them.
"But as one of the largest gro
cers In the country put it—all de-
pends on the guarantee itself. I
It is explicit, definite nnd lived U|
to—I believe such a guarantee help:
immensely to sell goods.
