Removed to Paris in 1704, where
he launched a steamboat on the
river Seine in 1803, but it sank
because of faulty construction.
Xew boat built with the old ma-

which made a successful trip
from Xew York to Albany 011

The local district representa-
tive of the Akron Automatic
Fire and Burglar Alarm Sys-
tem, with district headquarters
in Sherman, will, in the imme-
diate future call on the various
business men to explain the gen
eral workings of the system as
well as to secure contracts of
those desiring their places of
business, warehouses, etc. equip-
ped with the system.
The contract has already been
let to equipp the dry goods store
of Martin & Wilfong as well as
the ol her stores of the firm in
Texas. The system was first
installed in the store of Steinlein
& Martin at Sherman, and after
using the system for some time
let the contract to equip all
seven stores of the firm. All
business houses of Sherman are
equipped with the system except
a few, who have the system un-
der consideration.
Tlie first system in Pilot Point
will be installed in the near fu-
ture in the Dry Goods Store of
Martin & Wilfong, and all busi-
ness men, as well as the public
in general, are requested to
inspect the system after same
has been installed.
The matter will oe taken up
with the city council and a per-
mit to cross the various streets
will be asked of them in order
that all places of business may
be connected up with the own-
er's residence, as well as some
central part of the eity.
We feel that such a system
should be welcome to Pilot Point
by the citizens as it decreases
fire insurance and is a sure pro-
tection in case of fire or bur-
glary.
The company offers a one hun-
dred dollars reward for the ar-
rest and conviction of any per-
son who attempts to force an
entrance into any place equip-
ped with the system. The Com-
pany has a very able force of
detectives located at their state
headquarters in Dallas who
work on cases of attempt at bur-
glary of any place equipped
with the system.
