Kelly Says

If the charter committee had the power to elect the mayor and appoint the different officers of the city, town and school their scheme for running municipal government is perfectly proper. But with the present system of ward caucuses and the influence of the ward heeler. that one man power is a dangerous thing.
 The new city charter fails to show where it has reduced the expenses of running the town. city and school and as an act of economy it is A failure. To the contrary. 1t has increased the salary of every man connected with the new city government from 10 to 100 per cent, and will add halt A dozen or more new office holders that the people will he obliged to support as long as they live. It will increase the ex- penses at least $10.00O a year and gives such a sweeping power to the incoming mayor that if his financial abilities should be anything like some of the mayors of the past the taxpayers of the city would wish they were never born. It deprives e man of the right to build on his own land accordinh to his own wishes; it deprIvss the fireman of using his franchise as he pleases; it deprives the right of liquor seller to become e member of the city boards. These articles alone are un-Amer- ican, unconstitutional and unvise. If the common council recommend this new charter they will regret their judgment when it is too late. Let cs keep away from one man power as long as ve can.

AFamily Long UnbrOkcn by Death.

Several Macon people on "Wednesday
went up 20 Pope's Ferry. where Mr.. and
Mrs. Mason Davis. at their lovely couii-
try home, celebrated their golden we'd
ding. Mr.. Davis IL seventy-three and his
wife seventy-two. They have never had
a death in their family of ten children
and twenty-five grandchildren. The
youngest grandchild IS nine weeks old.
All OF tho Children and twenty-one or
tho twenty-one gre adchildren were pres
ent at the celebration. The presents were
numerous. and consisted principally or
gold dollars.
on the long tables IN the yard fresh
peaches were served, and there were va
rious other evidences OF Mr.. Davis thrift
and progress as a farmer
1t was an unusually bright and happy
gathering and the venerable couple re-
joiced with their children that they had
all been spared for such an occasion.
The hearts OF all were made glad. The
visiting friends were delighted TO witness
the delicate manifestations OF that beau
tiful love which makes home Para
disc on earth.
At the end OF fifty years as man and
wife 10 was the proud boast OF Mr.. and
Mrs. Davis that no couple could be hap
pier. They have reared family of noble,
upright sons and daughters. and, as the
time apprOachs for rendering a final
account, the knowledge OF this fact af-
fords the aged couple much comfort
