On Friday night, at a called meet
ing of the City Council, an election
was ordered for Saturday, Nov. 2Sth,
for the purpose of taking the sense of
the people whether or not they will
accept the Electric Light Company's
offer to furnish Is arc lights and As
incandescents for five years for $4,000
per year; the Electric Light Company
agreeing to waive its right to more
than one year contract. We are re-
liably informed that the Electric
Light Company offered to so amend
their original proposition as to take
the contract for Is arc and As mean
descent lights for one year at $500,
provided il did not have to go before
the people for vote. We cannot
understand why the Electric Light
Company can afford to make 5000 diff
ference in their bid between a vote
by full Council and vote by the
people. The people will want 10
know why, gentlemen.

Joe Mulhatton was arrested. $50
the papers say" in Pittsburg, on
Wednesday, charged with robbing a
roommate. Mulhatton's Unsuitable
desire to keep himself before the pub
lie has led him to adopt some peculiar
ways of advertising himself, and this
may be one of them. Joe will lie,
but we do not believe he will steal.
In business acquaintance extending
over two years we found him strictly
honest. Based upon this, we are not
inclined to give any credence to the
statement.

Mrs. Betsy Wireman, wife of our
countrymap, John Wireman, died

Priest, near Sideview, this county, on
Wednesday, Nov. 11th, 1891.
She was married to Daniel Priest in
1923, and was the mother of six chill
dren, only two of whom, S. s. and
Thomas w. survive her. For many
years she was member of the Old
School Baptist church, and was one
OF the veritable mothers of Israel.
Aunt Mildred, as she was called by
all, had a strong hold upon the affec-
tons of all who knew her. Her gen.
ue, pure life was such as to show to-
the world around her that her heartS
desire was 70 show forth the love andI<
truth of the religion of the blessed
Christ. Too few such lives are seen
in the world around us, and their full
worth is only appreciated by us when
they have been ended. Her burial

for robbery, mana ged to raise a row
there on Thursday night, and
coming in contact with Logan Murphy,
a prisoner from Magotfin county,
under sentence of death for killing
his father, sent here for safe keeping,
he got into a difficulty with him. In
some way Murphy secured an old
pocket knife, every blade of which
was broken, but which he had sharp
ened on the wall of his cell, and with
this he cut Crockett some seven times.
Only the short blades kept him from
adding another to his list of murders.
Crockett will soon be well.
