PAVING THE SrRERrs.-At the meet
ing of the City Council last evening a
message was received from Mayor Lof
land in reference TO the street pavement
He states that since Messrs. Taylor,
McBain 4 Co. commenced laying the
Nicholson pavement on Second street,
there has been decided expression Of
property owners, and citizens generally,
in favor of having the following streets
paved in the same way, viz: Main,
Shelby, Desoto, Jefferson, Old Madison,
Poplar and Beal streets and Charleston
avenue. He proposes, therefore, that
bids be received for paving these streets
for city bonds, payable in five, ten and
fifteen years, bearing six per cent. inte'
rest The entire cost of the above work,
as per engineers estimate at five dol
lars per yard for paving, and one dollar
and sixty cents per foot for curbing,
amounts, in round numbers, to $92l,-
900 or $685., 900 in installments Of five,
ten and fifteen years. To meet these
installments with semi-annual interests,
he proposes to create sinking fund,
requiring annually for the hrst five years,
$ll6,66O; for the second five years,
$98, $50; and for the third and last five
years, 1920; this fund to be under the
control Of three trustees appointed by
the Board of Aldermen, and at the first
of each year the City Treasurer be re-
quired to pay over to said trustees
weekly, onesixth of the city revenue
paid into his hands by the revenue Off
GERS Of the city until the entire fund set
apart for that year shall be paid over,
He recommends, also, that the Trustees,
after paying or set apart sam sufficient
to pay each semi annual interest falling
due on the entire debt, shall invest on
the best terms they can all supply funds
in their hands, in the bonds first matur-
ing. These annual payments to the
sinking fund (the largest being $79,66O,
and the smallest being $79,820,) may
seem large to be drawn from the treas
ury for the special purpose, but by refer
ence to the controllers books, it will be
seen that the cost OF mud, sand, ETC., for
streets and alleys, has averaged in the
last FIVE years, $l46,5s5. 1t is true that
a portion of these expenditures was not
made upon the streets proposed now to
be paved, but the amount was, he thinks,
three.fourths at least. So far as the
City Treasury is concerned, leaving out
all other considerations, it will, in the
opinion of the Mayor, be largely bene-
fitted by this enterprise, while the amount
saved to the general business of the city
will be almost incalculable. The mes
sage was referred to the Finance Com
mittee with instructions to report at an
adjourned meeting to be held on Friday.

The MosT POPULAR HoTEL-WHlcH
Is 1T P-Is it true that many of the friends
of the "0verton decline to enter the

scented to the most popular hotel, fearing
that they will be outnumbered by the
friends of the Worsham or the Gay.

repudiate the inference, and all the
Boosting of the Gayosians that they will
have it whether or no, amounts, in my
opinion, to but little. 1t game of bluff,
that is we'll enough to deter the luke
warm, but certainly will have no effect
on substantial friendS-for many who,
like myself, are determined that success
shall not wait upon 81 would try, but
am afraid l shan't succeed" but that
it shall be ours if energy will secure it.
l call upon the Overtonians to rally to
the polls. We are not willing that in such
contest for supremacy it should be left
to the Gayoso and Worsham. / know the
Overton has hosts of friends, and they
will not willingly leave their favorite out
