transfer the bank ard its assets to parties
with an abundance Of capital, with a view
to paying of all liabilities, dollar for dol
lar, and resuming business. If this is
| effected the bank failure will prove only
a ripple on the surface Of business affairs
that will seriously affect the interests Of
none. The change will probably be made
this week.-GaWJord County Bulletin.

attorney of the city had some %grievous
charges to make against the city council.
A citizens committee investigated, Of
whom Spencer Smith, Of The Nonpareil,
was one. Another was Il. L. Shugart.
These two have reported to the council
that the attorney had failed to put in an
appearance when called upon to do so,
Now it is the councils turn, and the COM
mittee Is requested to name the ''attor-
ney," that all may know who he is that

A number of prominent property own.
ers have filed their protests with the city
council, against the special assessm emit
made against their property for filling
streets In front of their lots. They claim
the city has no legal right to make such
assessments, but that the cost of such i'm
provement must be paid for out of the
general fund. 1t looks as If there would
be a chance for the courts to decide in
the matter. If the courts should deciue
against the city, there would be a heavy
drain on the general fund, and a lively
commotion.
If some ente r%prising public carrier
would start up special c%onveyances for
carrying visitors to and from Paramount
park at a reasonable price, and make
regular trips, he would have plenty of
patronage. There are many here who
have no means of visiting the park, and
many strangers would also take a look at
Its beauties. At present there are no
such conveniences, for those who have
no private ~conveyances are not good
walkers, and do not care to go to the ex-
pense of hiring a livery.
An old man named Easton was yester-
day afternoon thrown from q load of
brick on upper Broadway, by one of the
wheels going down in q sort of sink hole
made by the water from one of the by
drants used in filling the street
sprinklera. The old man struck In the
street, on the back of his head, the wag-
on seat falling on top of him. He had a
narrow escape from being run over by
the heavy load, but as it was, he got off
with no further injury than a rough
shaking up.
