Thirteen years ago a student in Berlin
was mobbed in the streets for appearing
on bicycle. Now the German Union of
Bicyclists, which has just held its eighth
annual conference at Breslau, has IA 900
members.
A good way to start ballxy horse, ac-
cording to western New York apiarist, is
to carry pocketful of tame bees along
with you and let them loose on the horse
when he refuses to go. If this interesting
remedy is found to be failure you might
take an elephant along to push.
1t is not to be wondered at that some
Canadians have come to the conclusion
that money spent in promoting immigra-
ton into the Dominion is virtually thrown
away. In the last ten years some So, ,O0O,-
600 has been used for this purpose. and
the net results as shown by the census just
taken are certainly not encouraging. The
records show the arrival of nearly 900, 900
immigrants in that period, but as the total
increase of population is only little more
than half that number, 1t follows that the
newcomers must find life more attractive
on the United States side of the boundary
line.

SEPTEMBER.
The golden-rod is yellow,
The corn is turning brown,
The trees in apple-orchards
With fruit are bending down.
The gentian's bluest fringes
Are curling in the sun,
In dusky pods the milkweed
Its hidden silk has spun.
The sedges fiaunt their harvest
In every meadow-nook,
And asters by the brook-side
Make asters in the brook.
By all these lovely tokens
September days are here,
With summers best of wealth
And autumn's best of cheer

The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1891-02-11
CITY Charter TO BE Amended.

1t is very probable that bill will b.
introduced at the summer session of the
legislature to amend the charter of Daw
son so that the mayors salary can be in
creased from 500 to $500 per year, anC
! provide for compensation for the alder
men.
When Dawson was first incorporated
as small village the charter fixed the
salary of the mayor at 5000. Now that
we have grown into city, tho mayor
should be payed a decent amount for
his services, as the responsibilities of his
office have greatly increased.
While all agree that the mayors salary
should be increased, the proposition to
provide for salary for the aldermen
will probably excite some discussion.
1t is thought by some that the present
method of relieving themselves of taxes
by resolution as sort of compensation,
is contrary to the constitution and char
ter Of the town, and some other method
had best be adopted to avoid possible
complications, aud the only way open
seems to be to have the legislature inIJu-
ly to amend the charter and fix their nav.
The News believes that the aldermen
should receive adequate compensation
for work done.
The city is able to pay for such services,
and ought to do it after the expiration
of the term of the present councilmen.

Sealed His Own Fate.

In Muscogee superior court last month
Clarence McElroy, negro, was convicted
of cutting the throat of a woman and
sentenced by Judge Query to be hanged
ON the 10th of this month. A motion
for new trial is pending in the interest
OF the negro, and Judge Query is ex-
peoting to hear it in few days. A new
phase has now been given the case, how.
ever, by the confession of McElroy last
Friday. Since the conviction of the CON

thinking of his case and had about de-
termined to grant a new trial on the hear
ing of the motion, but since the confes-
sion o McElroy the motion for new trial
will Doubtless be overruled. The con-
demned man has sealed his own fate.
