FREEMAN, Manager Real Estate and Insurance Departments 351 EAST CLAYTON STREET, ATHENS Proclamation Owing to the fact that there are so many dis astrous fires all o ( ver the country at this time; and to the further fact tfiat so many precious lives are lost in the conflagrations, I am impress ed that-it is my duty to call special attention of the citizens of Athens to at once get busy and investigate the conditions of their homes, schools and business houses and see that every possible cause which may contribute to the destruction by fire be at once removed. A , ndI respectfully call attention of the people to aid in the prevention of such dire misfortunes, before it is too late. A rat and a match can destroy homes, lives and business in a few hours if they should meet in a cellar where loose paper or other inflammables are carelessly left This is a duty we owe to t our selves, our children and our community. I would further suggest that the f . lre . de Partment be requested to make frequent inspections of homes, schools and business houses and that the possibilities of fire be reduced to a.minimum. I trust that the people of Athens will all unite in their efforts to prevent that which- will'inevitably bring loss 01 J 'f e > grief and loss of property, by being ex ceedingly careful in removing all possible causes to fiutJ5“ in ftFP« wer to do; let us attend Mav J therefore .
