Fire Inspector Says
City Needs Chemical
E. R. Miller, inspector for the State
Fire Marshals Department, was in
Clarksville last week, and after look
ing over the fire fighting equipment
here said that the city was badly In
need of a chemical truck, and would
suggest to his department that they
request the city.to install one. Mr.
Miller highly complimented the work
being done by Fire Marshal Duncan
and said that after inspecting the
business district here, he found but
few fire hazards that needed atten-
tion and these if removed, would give
llie city a clean bill of health.
Mr. Miller has made inspections in
many cities over the state, anil with
refence to the fire fighting equip-
ment. said that Clarksville was the
only city its size in the state that
was without a chemical truck.
Some trouble was experienced with
the old Ford pumper that was recon-
ditioned some time ago. at the time
of the recent fire, and considerable i
work will have to be done on it be-
fore it can again be used as a reserve j
pumper. Parts have been ordered and |
the repars will be made at once.
If the interest manifest thus far
in the wedding of Miss General Public
to Mr. Health Happiness on the lawn
of the W. C, Hamilton home next
Thursday night Is a criterion, tlm
largest assemblage that ever witness-
ed a like event will be on hand.
Relatives of the bride, and they
are legion, are searching the shops
and stores of Clarksville merchants
buying gifts for the future home of
the bride, the County Hospital. T!<o
response to the appeal sent out for
the many items needed for this in-
stitution has been very gratifying to
those in charge of the event, and the
invited guests, which includes every
man. women and clilM la II-d RivSr
County, are expected to supply every-
thing needed.
The wedding party is making great
preparation for the event. There ap-
pears no chance for the bride to he
left "waiting at the church," for Mr.
Hairiness has been too eager to have
as his life partner. Miss Public. Like
wise, has long waited for the oppor-
tunity to "catch" the much sought
after, Halth Happiness, and the union
of this popular couple will he the
real society event of the season.
So much interest has been shown in
the event that the merchants are of-
fering a special discount of ten por
cent on ail gifts bought for the bride.
The committee has stressed the im-
portance of attaching your card to
the wedding gift, as they are to be
on display following the wedding.
