THE BOND INJUNCTION.
1t Is Now on a Hearing Before Judge
.Noonan.

1t Is Now on a Hearing Before Judge
.Noonan.
In the 37th district court before
Judge Noonan the city's motion to
dissolve the injunction obtained by
Alderman Bolton to prevent the sale
of city bonds, alleged to have been
illegally and irregularly voted, the
entire morning was consumed in pre-
senting the case to the judge. This
was done by City Attorney Bergstrom
for the city, and Mr.. Minor for Mr..
Bolton.
The city moves to dissolve the in
junction, and says Mr.. Bolton does
not state facts in his allegation.
Mr.. Bolton says the question voted
upon was not properly submitted to
the property Taxpayers. The procla-
payers" when the constitut ton of the
state makes it mandatory upon the
part of city to submit such an cleo
ton to property" Taxpayers only
and not to every one who pays dog
tax or poll tax.
The city claims Bolton is too fastid-
ious in this, and that that would make
no difference.
Bolton claimes that a power to tax
is not inherent in a city, but the city
only receives its power from the
state and must enforce it scrupu-
lousy. Anything else is a fragrant
violation of the state law.
Messes Walthall. for the city, and
McMinn for Mr.. Bolton, will argue
the points this afternoon.
The case is attracting considera BILE
interest among the citizens, and
many of the most intelligent residents
of this city are in attendance upon
the trial,

Profanity.

There is a shocking amount of Dro.
ianity being used among our male pop
ulatiOn. This is particularly notice
able among the young men and even
boys. They seem not to know how ia
be emphatic without the use of a bad
word. How much of this is the ont.
growth of the base ball field and Dolit-
ical discussions we do not know. bnt
the use of profane and vulgar language
has certainly been on the increase the
past year. The following from the
last issue of the Record is to the point
and we reproduce it hoping it NAV
strike the attention of those to whom
it applies:
A matter that ought to be correct
ed by our town authorities is the mis-
cradle profanity and dirty language
that has been heard on our streets an
through the Christmas days, and that
IS altogether too common at all times.
Ihere are many boys and young white
men who are guilty of this low prac-
tlce, but is notably prevalent with the
blacks, and they are very bold and
lmpudent with it. Ladies and decent
men like the privilege of walking n
block or two without being insulted bv
vulgar oaths and cursing. If the town
council would look after these matters
and enforce the law it would be well
for the respectable part of the commu-
Elty, and a good lesson for the other
part also.

Birth Day Visits.

Mrs. Lean Collins, widow Of the late
Leonard Collins reached her SOD birth
day on Friday. She has been from her
youth member of the Methodist
Church but for some years deprived by
blindness from attending on the church
services. Her birth was remembered
as afOretime and her friends to the
number of some three dozen repaired
to her home on Frazier street for an
evening of social and religious converse.
II It was pleasant to the visitors it was
infinitely more so to Mrs. Collins whose
feelings were greatly quickened by
the kindly act. The latter part of the
time partOOk Of religious character in

itOrs in departing leaving some sub
stantial remembrances.
Saturday was the S5th birthday of
Mrs. Rachel Graham, widow of the late
John H. Graham. In the midst of the
pouring rain of that evening her friends
to the number of forty or fifty went to
the residence of Jas. G. Lassell. her
home, to honor the event and as an
evidence of their continued regard.
They extended their congratulations
aud proceeded to pass the evening in
the most social way possible. As a
help in this direction they took with
them ice cream, cake &c, and the
evening till ten o'clock or after was
made a most enjoyable one. Rev. w.
S. Robinson, who was one of the party
of surprise visitors on the preceding
evening was also at this, and closed
with an appropriate and touching
prayer. A purse was left in the hands
of Mrs. Graham, which on afterwards
being opened was found to contain $I3.
