On the Middle Pease, Ben
Marrs Jr. said that his 5 to 6
inches would probably benefit
his wheat and other feed grains.
He had not planted all of his
wheat land, which would make
it late for grazing, but would put
it in good shape for winter, he
added.
Jack Isbell, who also farms on
the same river, which he said
was east of South Pease River,
said he had planted 400 acres in

Organized for the first time in
1911, Paducah’s Fire Dept, was
in existence -- such as it was -
for five years, before steps
were taken by the city fathers to
number streets and install water
plugs, so the fire boys “would
have no trouble locating the
fire.”
We found in old files, that
when the Baptist Church burned
on Christmas Day in 1915, the
“alarm was sounded, but . . .
the fire department could do
nothing with it.”
In January, 1916, after the
streets were numbered, and the
fire department re-organized,
attempts were made by mer-
chants and businessmen to help
secure better equipment for the
fire company. They decided to
buy either an automobile truck
or team of horses and fire
wagon Until this time, the
“boys” had had only a “hose
cart” which had to be dragged
by man-strength to the fire, by
