Columbus (IN) Evening Republic, February 18, 1897. NASHVILLE'S FIRE DEPARTMENT Nashville, Brown County, is to have a fire department, and an agent of a fire company of Chicago was over there yesterday to sell them an outfit. A few months ago Nashville suffered a very disastrous conflagration sweeping out a whole square, about half the business portion of the city, and she has now decided to prepare to protect herself. -Edinburg Call.
