Makes Nice Donation
to the Department
Mr. and Mrs. J. Edward Kirkman last week presented to the
members of the High Point fire department, through Chief A.B. Horney, a check
for $100 as a token of appreciation for the efforts of the fire fighters in
successfully combatting flames in the Kirkman home two weeks ago. Thanks to the
efficient work of the department, the blaze was extinguished with but trivial
damage resulting to the home. The gift is the largest the fire department has
ever received.
Mr. Kirkman will also give the department an oyster supper
on the night of Wednesday, December 3. Every member will be present and there
will be speech making and the like. The note accompanying the $100 gift was:
“We wish to express to you and through you to the fire
department our sincere thanks for the service rendered to us recently. Their
heroic efforts and persistent work saved our home, and for this we can never
thank you and the brave fire boys associated with you, enough. As a token of
our appreciation we are sending to the fire department our check for $100.”
