Congress wiil hardly got much work done until after tho holidays, bpeaner Carlisle has not yet named tbe chairmen of the ct nunittees, bui has them in preparation.

The people of Lumpkin have mud. cuuso to he thankful in having es¬ caped for several successive yuai t any disastrous court gration, and w. think that tho fact of having escapee so long Las a tendency to make then careless. Around the public squat-, wo have rows of wooden buildmgi that tho sight of would blanch th< cheek of au insurance agent, and th. worst feature is that wo have m means of extinguishing a fire, should one occur. Tho want of some kin. of organized firs department make, it impossible to get insurance in soiu. cases. Now, the present Board o Aldermen Iiave done much that wil permanently benefit tho town. Sev¬ eral years ago when wo first urged upou the council tbe propriety el getting oontrol of the cemeteries o: the towc, tUey were iu bad con 'i tion. Siuco tho council took charg. of them they have been enclosed with neat and substantial fences am a large amount of rubbish cleaiei. awav,while tho use of the paint brusl has roudored them more pleasing to the eye. Wo do not know of any publi. work thut our town officials have ii view for the coming year and wil' therefore urge the necessity of iu nugni'ating a system of some kind foi protection against fires. It is true wo have a clase of citizens who aii ever ready to respond tD the call of fire, anti with nothing but» few buckets of water do very effective work. Wlrut we need is something to work with. Some small towns huve purchased pntsut tiro extin¬ guishers, but we have yet to read of a single fire extinguished by them unless it was a pile of old boxes that were prepared for the agent’s test and set on fire when everybody \v«6 on tho lookout for the show. In our opiuion the most effective work that can be done in Lumpkin would be with a set of ladders, au equipment of leather buckets, some hooks to puli down a small building, uud axes to be used, in cutting away timbers. There would be uo neces¬ sity to buy an expensive truck as it would not be necessary. If the coun¬ cil will make an appropriation to buy such an oulfit an organization Ihat would do effective work couid soon be had. As we are now sit ua’ed a fire upon either side of town wou Id sweep away, the entire ran^e of build ings. If we bad a hook aud ladder company, by tearing dowu an inter ven.ng bouse half of the stores aud probably more could bo saved. With this protection properly the rate of - insurance would bo •eued and property holders would j est easier in regard to fires.
