upon the market.
At a meeting of the City Council toj
K held the lirst Thursday night in

automobile tire apparatus will come
up for consideration.

SHOULD FIRE APPARATUS BE PUR
CHASED?
From what we can learn the R ard
of Aldermen seem determined to
buy a 55,500 automobile tire appa
ratus.
If this purchase is made it means co n, Savannah and other cities
ihiit the city will assume a tremeii
dous indebtedness for a maeliini
from which they will receive vein
little service.
It is trite that the residence sect it n change of sentiment on their part, the
of the city should be better protected j machine will be purchased,
from fire, but this could be effectively Mayor Bell is opposed to the pur-
dotie without the expenditure of chase of such an expensive apparatus,
such a large sum of money. The He has advocated in all his annual mts
record shows that there are not veiy sages an improvement in ttie fire de-

The Union Record has always stood
for a progressive city and advance
ment along all lines, hut we cannot
believe that our city has reached the
point where it should invest such a
large amount of money for a the ap
paratus from which it will receive
such little service.
We realize that the members of the
Beard of Aldermen are anxious to do
something for the best interest of
their city, and give the people
protection from tire, but it seems to
us that they have tackled a mighty
expensive proposition.
Much-Named Isle.
The Parisians, who are extremely
fond of changing place names with
in their jurisdiction, have never equal
ed the record established in this re
spect in the case of the Island of
Reunion, which has changed Its name
four times in a little over half a cen
tury and with little or no reason for
doing so.
In 1793 It was Bourbon, as it had
been for a century and a half; but
the convention then changed It to Re
union.
Under the empire it became Isle
Bonaparte, at the restoration it revert
ed to llourhon, and, finally, in 1848,
it became Reunion once more and so
far has retained that name.

Dear Sirs:-
1 boughta3% In. “OLD HICKORY” 7 years
ago ami Imuied &m Mg load* an 180 bushels of
wheat last fall without breaking anything
on the wagon over very l»ad roads, and the
wagon has stood outside In rain and sunshine
for 7 yearn, but I would not trade It for any
new wagon. Yours truly,
PETE PERSON
You will agree with
Mr. Person when you
use the
►"old hickory"
of satisfactory service, and the wagons still in use doing daily duty, a9
Eood as any new wagon, are not uncommon with the “OLD HICKORY”.
No wagon ever gained a higher reputation, because no better wagon
has ever been made—no wagon ever made better—the choicest of timber
money can buy, thoroughly air seasoned in our own yards, selected and
re-selected, inspected and re-inspected; hickory for axles, spokes, eveners,
whiffletrees and neckyoke3; choicest of black birch and white oak for hubs;
bost grade of white oak for bolsters, sand boards, reaches, brake bars and
hounds; superior quality carefully selected straight grain white oak for
tongues of extra largo size; skeins far heavier than the ordinary, all
tested under hydraulic pressure—in short every detail beyond practical
improvement.
HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS of these wagons in use every day,
rendering perfect service, proclaim their quality and value louder than anv
words can express.
