STREETS. DRAINAGE, PAVING.
Three Things Wanted East of the S.,

f. and W. Railway.
The property owners east Of the sa-
vannah, Florida and Western railway held
an adjourned meeting at the banking Of
fee Of Hull q Lathrop last night. There
was good attendance Of those Interested,
but on account of the political and other
meetings in progress a number were abb
sent whose presence was desired.
Mr.. J. r. Anderson, the temporary chair
man, presided. Matters of interest to the
property owners east of the Savannah.
Florida and Western railway were gene
rally discussed The sentiment of the
meeting was strongly in favor Of three
things, the closing Of the Bilbo canal
and converting it into an outlet for the
house drainage system, the paving of Wa
tiers road from Wheaton street to Estill
avenue and of Estill avenue to Bull street
and of immediate action by the city in
arranging for the opening Of the streets
for which crossings were recently secured
from the Savannah, Florida and Western
railway. There is some property border
ing on the railway company's right of
way through which the right of way for
the streets has not been secured, and
there are other matters which will have

the eastern limits.
The chairman was authorized to appoint
three committees OF three members each
to take these matters in hand and urge
action upon them. The closing of the BIZ
DO canal is matter on which special
stress is laid by the property owners east
OF the railway. 1t was stated at the meet

purpose of selecting an outlet for the city

house drainage to be adopted by the city

Who Was the First Tobacco Smoke

From the Gentleman's Magazine
The learned Camden speaks of Lane
as the original English smoker. 1t is re-
markable that so much doubt should have
existed among writer's even in Eliza-Jaco-
bean times both as to the date when to-
bacco was first received in this coun-
try and the person by whom it was first
introduced. The painstaking annalis,,
stow, says that tobacco came into Eng
land about the 10Th year of Queen Eliza
beth Q55D. But Aubrey, speaking of Sir
Walter Raleigh, says that "he was the
nrst that brought tobacco into England
and In fashion Q5S6). In our part of North
Wilts-for example Malmsbury Hundred

The work CT putting down the curling

the result of q meeting OF the sanitary

it would be necessary to do considerable
upturning the soil in order to Law the re-
mainder of the curbing and the sanitary
board is not disposed to allow any more
