Gemetery-Other Improvements-
Notes.

on Sunday was read and will be voted
on next meeting.
Accounts to the amount of $50
were allowed. T~hirty-ive dollars
worth Of good ladders were bought
for the fire company.
The contract for sidewalk from CITY
limits to cemetery was let to ST Win
scott for s205. Property owners in
side OF the limits were ordered to put
down their walks at once.
On an urgent appeal from Ringo
two blocks of macadam we're ordered
on Liberty street.
A street grader was ordered bought
by the request of Mr.. Turner.
A. G. Turner reported that he and
Buckley had appeared before the
county court and had got a road on
the east side of the cemetery.
Several sidewalks were ordered re-
paired.
After other routine business was
attended to, on motion the council
went into secret session to consider
waterworks.
Polloek's proposition was carefully
read and considered. Other propo-
sitions are also to come before the
council and they are not ready as yet
to submit one to a vote. There is no
doubt but what the council will short
ly have the matter in proper shape
for a vote.
NOTES.
The council is solid for water.
The world was not made in one day.
The council should provide seats
for the reporters.
The council want all alleys owned
by the city opened.
An attempt is being made to open
Washington street.
The council is going to have some
thing to show for its money.
Liberty street is happy. 1t is to
have two blocks of maeadam.
The council is devoting their entire
time to getting a water works prop
osition in shape
The council is talking of putting a
foot bridge over the Jefferson street
railroad crossing.
The council will meet every day or
two until they get a water works
proposition ready.
The council is going to meet every
few hours until it gets a waterworks
proposition in shape.
If we don't get water it will not
he the fault of the council. They
are going to give the people a vote.
Nj. Fields was appointed to write
and see what q car load of thing could
be bought for to be used in alleys
and gulleys.
The smartness of some of our
newspaper men who "never make
errors has induced the council to
shut out reporters.
The council will likely order a
census to be taken to see if we have
not 5000 inhabitants so we a col
lect theatre license; also so we car
get out a new charter for a city of 6
higher class.
No business of importance was
transacted at the called meeting o.
the city council last night. j. A
Jones submitted a proposition tt
erect water works but no actor
was taken on the matter. Another
meeting Is to be held Monday nigh

some definite action taken on BIZ
proposition. The contract for build
ing the sidewalk to the cemetery
which was awarded to S. A. Winscott
was considered by the council, ant
as there was some misunderstanding!

There is nothing Objectionable in
social clubs if organized for the purpose
by a number Of young men or old men
coming together to while away an hour
In intelligent conversation, reading the
news and imparting TO each other the
general ideas and inform alton each pos
sesses. OF this class are lyceums or de-
batting clubs, which create desire for
the attainment of knowledge. But
there are other clubs of doubtful char
acter, some certainly very demoralizing
TO the young. II is natural that young
men should seek the society of each
other, and the more readily 10 arrive at
this object is TO unite together under
some fancy name, misleading in its
meaning. There is no harm in this,
and would be none il it were not for q
we'll known fact that the impetuosity
OF youthful blood leads To the introduC-
tion Of Objectionable means for enjoy.
ment In this way, many Of these
clubs become gradually a resort for
drinking and gambling, things not in
tended ar first, but which unfortlna ely
follow where there is no moral restraint.
The question arises in this connection,
why do so many young men seek the
society which social clubs afford ?
This Is a question that goes right
home to every family circle. Where
home is made pleasant and enjoyable,
there will be less inclination 10 seek
enjoyment beyond the sacred precincts
OF home. Nosociety is better for young
men than the society of the family,
where the family know how to make
home agreeable. Many parents are
almost heartbToken on account of their
sons, who have Joined the so-called
social club, and have learned to drink
liquor, gam Die probably, and to use pro-
fame language. They would give
almost anything if only their sons
would leave their nightly place of TO
sort and spend their evenings at home
No doubt they are sincere, and vet in
many, perhaps majority of cases, there

THE dynami e explosion in London
on Saturday, is making it very I'M
comfortable for Irishmen in that city
who are not suspected in any manner
as connected with the plot. Every

five thousand Irishmen have been dis
charged from employment simply be-
GAUGE they were IrishIsen. The Irish

Civil Rights In boston.

From a recent decision made by the
courts of Boston, Massachusetts,, In a
civil rights case 1t will BE- inferred that
the judges in those courts have some
little regard for the Constitutional
Amendment to secure the .colored peo-
pie equal rights. A wealthy citizen OF
that city became the proprietor OF al
bon. ton fashionable skating rink to|
which only the upper ten were allowed
admission. Two young negroes, re-
spectacle as well ~ fashionable, called
at the rink on January 9th, and applied
for ADM ssiou and skates. They were
refused admi ssion 10 the skating floor
on the ground of being negroes, the
manager declaring that no Niger
even though he were Frederick Dou-
glass himself would be allowed upon
thai floor. This might have ended all
right mad 1t happened away back when
fugitive slaves escaping from the thra'-
dom OF slavery were chased through
the streets Of Boston by slave drivers,
slave owners, and United States Mar
shals, and caught and turned over to
their masters again.
i
seemed to be strangely oblivious TO the
fact that the world had spun around
very rapidly within the last twenty
five years He seemed to be utterly
forgetful of the fact that war baf
been fought, that slavery had beeI
abolished, that day had come wheI
the negro could stand up among his fel
lows, though of other blood, and clap
ping his hands upon his heart could de
clare too arr man. II neve
seemed to have entered his mind tina
that there were negro schools in tn
country, negro colleges, and that negroe
