The body decided that no
bagging was to no used except
cotton, unless 1t was absolutely
i'm possible to get it.
A sufficient sum was placed in
the hands of the trade agent to
to pay a cash per cent. in ad
advance for the cotton baggIny
ordered.
1t was decided that no ALI
ance Is entitled to the full ben
efits of the Trade Agency unless
it has paid as much as $l.00 for
each member to the State Ira de
Agency Fund. While this res
olution was under consideration
the means for raising the bal
ance of the fund WAS discussed
at length. Ex-SheriT John A..
Oates, tie delegate t.om Samp-
son, arose and moved that the
amounts paid by each county to
the fund be read, but he was
surprised to find his motion vo-
ted do WI, whereupon he de-
manded the books Of the Trus-
tee for private inspection Then
the cause was fOnnd for the

late the outgoing Council upon so
good an exhibit, and especially Mr..
Anthony Staubley, the treasurer, for
careful attention to the incoming and
outgoing ofthe funds. We trust the
new blood infused into the Council
at the recent election will aid in keep
ing up so good a record, and that the
next exhibit will show several thou
sand dollars reduction of the stand
ing debt. We would advise smaller
appropriations for new grading, and
that even then, the money should be
used among laborers at the dull sea-
sons of the year. Keep the streets,
as now graded, in repair, and make
but little new grades until the debt
is considerably reduced. Such a
course will check the interest ac-
counts, which is always a great
gnawer of vitality.
