nature.

Bible, and Thursday the city council
passed an ordinance fixing the license
of transient auctioneers at $40 per
day. Mr. Thomas informed the may
or that $50 per day was a trihe more
than he could afford to pay for the
privilege Of selling books, but he
would willingly give that amount fol

engines has been taken from the Yin
Works, and the erecting of a buildin,
for the engine and dynamo on th
newly purchased lots was begun thi
