Barton seems to be determided to

The City Council will meet tonight In
first regular session this month. Perhaps
the Mayor will nominate the police force
and perhaps he will not. Besides the
Mayor there is probably no one in the city
who knows just exactly what the new slate
will be, and there hasn't been near as much

The predictions of future weather left

The Pulaski Patriot is mistaken when
it says that THE BULLETIN man has
changed front on the high license question
since last year" THE BULLETIN was not
at any time opposed to the high license,
but it did oppose and denounce the So
