Mayor Barkley Will give the pris-
oners In the county Jail Christmas
dinner, at his own expense. This will
be a good deed done without hope Of
reward, unless we believe In the scrip

Lord"
in last Wednesdays issue, In the
report of the Council, the intelligent
compositor made us say that the Coun-
Gil would pay half months salary to
policemen for November when he
should have put December. The differ
ence IL, that instead of paying bacl,
salaries tie city Is paying in advance.
