Firemen's Banquet. Lust Friday night the Union Volunteer Fire Department gave the banquet of the season, prepared and served at the Gibbea house. The members and fheir invited guests assembled Mround the festive board about 9.80 o'clock. The table was most tastefully decorated with fruits, ferns and autumn leaves, and well supplied with roast turkey and cranberry sauce, opot-sum f.nd sweet potatoes prepared in the regulation mode, boiled ham, pickles, loaf bread, crackers, coffee, ambrosia and cakes. The members of city council were the guests of honor and seated at a table a little apart and at the head of the row of tables in the bahquet hall. The other Invited guests represented the clergy-medical frat?rnity, the merchant, the urtisan and the local press All in alt It was a representative bady. After supper, speech making was in order. Mayor McNally was first called on, and responded gradefully. He assured the volunteer firo department of his hearty co-peration and support financially and otherwise. Dr. J. M. Lawson responded in his usual witty and humorous stjle, saying that the doctors were fire fighters also. They fought to keep their patients from a fire that might be as pleasant as the one in iho Glbbes house lobby. That he .had eaten so much turkey and opossum he didn't know whether to gobble or grin. That he had no money to give the company, but was ready and willing to bandage the broken limbs, cure the scorches and burns of tho members after a fire. Mr. W. T. Beaty made a moststirring. complimentary and encouraging address. Mr. L. N. Roderer. Mr. Kirhv and o ' ? Chief F. G. Austell nil responded in a few well chosen words of commendation Dr. C. W. Austell said speech muking was not in his line of business, but assured them of tho fact that ho appreciated, fully eiijoyed and had done full justico to supper. Rev. L L. Wagnon responded in mo9t enthusiastic praise of the or* ganization, his theme being patriotism, which he applied most appropriately to the members of the volunteer fire department, inspired as they were with true patriotism born of their unselfish devotion to saving the lives and property of the people of the city from the fire flames of every burning building. Mr. W. W. Colton responded pleasantly and appreciatively and promised through the columns of Progress to give full credit and fair accounts of the deeds of the volunteer fire department. Several other gentlemen were called on but declined. J. K. Ilamblio, Esq., young barrister and member of the volunteer fire department responded in a most interesting, humorous and entertaining manner. He spoke encouragingly of the bright prospects of the department becoming entirely efficient as fire fighters. lie knew the material of which the company was i iyuuijn;ncu rtliu lldU I1U IirSlUt tlOU 111 Wiying that every member would always do hss full duly. That lie voiced the feeling of the entire company when he expressed the thankful appreciation of the company for the many complimentary things said about them and the support and encouragement they had received at the hands of the people and the city council. The editor of The Times responded, his theme was heroism, comparing the heroes of wars, officers and soldiers, that those fought for fame, love of home and country, liberty and freedom, with a hope of reward, the fireman's heroism was if possible a higher, nobler and more unselfish, as it was a fight for the sake of humanity and not for any hope of reward or fame. That the fireman's risk of losing life or limb was frequently greater than the soldier upon tho battle field. The editor did not offer any substantial aid nor the columns of The Times, but if the future is to be judged by the past it is a well known fact to the members of tho Union volunteer fire department that The Times has always a space in which to publish to the world a fall and fair acconnt of their HCtions, efforts and heroic deeds whenever culled upon. We and all present enjoyed the entire evening. We are pleased to notn the harmony and co-operation existing between the city council and the Are department, this argues well (or the good of the city. Thk Union Times and the Metropolitan Magasino will be sent to any address one year for $1.80. fclTn Death <)f Mr. Joseph H. McKlssIek i Sundity morning at 4 o'clock Mr Joseph H.
