S.-At a special meeting of the town
council on the evening of the 4th. the
new mayor ID. McH. Mckay, and Alder
men Wight, Spencer and Rhone were
usnereu INTO their respective duties
with all the eclat displayed on like &C.
casions in the past. The retiring alder
men were conspicuous by their absence
caused, no doubt, by the sincere regrets
tney nave at being severed from the
nigh positions they formerly held.
Ihelr absence was just bit embar-
RAISING to the new body, but after a
few moments the "old mill'' commenced
to grind as usual. r. q. Wight acted as
clerk pro TEN. and on roll call A. M
Henry, e. H. league, A. Spencer. A.
Rhone and r. G.. Wight responded
present. On motion, the offices of clerk
ana city attorney were combined The
appointment of a clerk and attorney
was then in order and Mayor McI<av
submitted the name of Powell Black
Ihe appointment met with the united
approval of the members and Mr. Black
was declared elected to fill the said
once for the ensuing year. For mar
snal, the mayor submitted the name of
the present incumbent, E. L. Allen. and
the manner in which the members re-
celved the appointment showed plainly
that Mr.. Allen has made a most eff
Gent officer. and therefore was deserv-
ing or another term, which he received
without a dissenting voice. The other
applicants reported by Mayor Mckay
were William Higgins, Max Sarter. III
A. kirchman and F. c. Jones. For po-
lice magistrate, Judge f. G. fairfield
the present incumbent, was reappointed
by reclamation. The name of William
M: McGinness was presented for the
Office of city treasurer and was CON
frmed by the council.
The next matter to come I'M for con-
slderation was that of fixing the bond
or the city treasurer A resolution was
unanimously adopted fixing the same at
s5OO0. ON motion, the council then adj
gourned amid the roaring of the artil-
lery. The actions taken by this coun-
Gil will be watched with much interest
by the citizens, as several important
questions viii probably come up before
them for consideration, PRINCIPAL
among which will be that of supplying
the town with system of water works.

ell are among the best citizens of the
town and have made good officials. but
