Guyton. Ga. Aug. 3l.-A mass-meeting
of the citizens Of the town was held last
night at the town hall. The object was
to hear a report OF what has been done
during the year past by the present board

behind. These taxes are due quarterly,
but many people postpone payment until
the last of the year
The meeting was harmonious until the
nomination came up. when a division
arose, which was not adjusted satisfacto-
rily 10 some. Therefore, they would not
participate further. This means that
there win be two tickets on Tuesday next
Those remaining in the hall went into a
nomination, with the following result:
For mayOr-A. J. Simmons.
For aldermen-.E. J. FOy, H. Z. Archer,
r. w Sheppard and G. NJ. Shearouse.
This division Will cause some lively
work for the next few days.

cipal of the school, arrived yesterday, and
is making arrangements to begin school

made by the town council TO exchange
