N 1873 THE CITY COUNCIL
purchased from the city Of Savannah the
@WiId Cat" an old WORKOUT IRE engine,
which has never been Of any service and
used only as a sunjsct % rldicuie the

/ For some years il was stored first IN one
place and then another until the City
I Council Of 1873 built a small house IN the
corner Of the cemetery, " herein has since
repOsed the battered carcass Of the anti
I quated feline, while around IL the air has
I been thick with cruel Jests Of scOnersr the
most significant being the information
that the house was a tomb built BY the city,
/ over $3.50 Of the citizens money therein
| inferred. Tne Council Of ISL bought "a
| cumbrOus road machine, which has been
utilized about as much as the much
abused .tWild Cat" and hence last year
an annex was built to the aforementioned
/ tomb, ard therein peacefully repOses the
/ wonderful piece Of mechanism which was

And now some cruel, heartless, Wag-
| gish citizen suggests that another annex
I be added 30 secure the remains OF the ar
/ tesian well apparatus, but says be hopes
/ II may Be put on the south side, 50 that II
/ Will become cod gradually. aud not too
/ suddenly fall into the cold oblivion OF the
l great tomb and its annexes.
/ The City Board Of Education met last
\ evening and elected the teachers for the
/ ensuing year with the following result;
/ Principal, Prof. ". II, LawsOnj Assist

! School, Miss E. L. Mitchell: Intermedi-
/ ate. Mrs. c. G. Parsons; Primary, Mrs.
/ ". =. HAYNES; Principal Of COlOred
| School, J. II. Butler.
The entire corps have served the past
/ two years, except Mrs. Parsons, who was
1 elected 70 take charge Of the intermediate
/ department. which position has been filed
/ bT Miss s. q. Davis since the present sys-
/ TEN was inaugurated. Miss Davis de-
l clined reelection. hrs. Parsons is a cnl-
I tuFed, refined and well educated lady,
/ with family Of little ones left to her care
/ at the death Of her husband. We feel
/ confident that the board made al excel
| lent selection, and congratulate Mrs. Par
/ sons upon having secured the position,
! which IS moderately lucrative.
