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.
