COUNCIL MEETING.
Street Paving Plans and Specifi-
cations Adopted.

lot of Other Routine Matters were
taken up and disposed of--A First
Ordinance about tearing up the
streets has been adopted and II is err
dered Printed When street is torn
up the town will replace 1.-THE man
who tears 1t mp has shown that In
not very many cases will he do the
job right and the Council intends to
see that IL is done right hereafter
when Paving will likely begin.
Council held its regular weekly
meeting last night The most i'm
portant matter considered was the
plans and specifications for street
paving. Before this was taken up
a good deal of routine business was
transacted. A number Of exonera-
tions from taxes enormously assess
ed were made. All who applied for
this relief had their prayers granted.
Mrs. M. ] Brown was granted
license to run an eating house.
The street commissioner was di-
rected to have the roof of the mu-
nicipal hall painted.
The ordinance in regard TO tearing
up and replacing streets and pave
ments was ordered published. Few
people seem to be aware of the pro-
visions of this ordinance which Is
certainly good one and will lead to
a elimination of the abuses which
have arisen through its not being
in existence. 1t is to the effect
that when any one has torn up
street or pavement for any purpose he
shall not replace it but shall notify
the authorities who will attend to
the job and assess the value of it to
the one having torn itup. This was
made. necessary by the fact that in
not one case in hundred when the
streets were dug up were they re-
placed as they should have been and
the damage to the streets was very
great. This ordinance will stop that
sort of thing.
The street paving plans and spec
ifications were then taken up and
after discussion of all points they
were adopted as recommended by
the engineers. One hundred copies
Will be printed at once for the use of
contractors and bidders. These
plans are too voluminous to be Civ
en- as they comprised fifteen or TWEEN
ty typewriter pages.
AS soon as possible the other mat
tiers in regard to the paving will be
arranged and brick will be laid as
rapidly as possible. Work will hard
ly begin before Commencement how
ever and that is for the best as the
good weather will hardly arrive be-
fore that time.

THE JEWEL PRESENTED.
The Monongalia Lodge presented =
Veteran Jewel to Squire Hayes for
so years OF Service in the Order---
An Unique Distinction.


Saturday night the local lodge of
Odd Fellows held a special session
in order that the veterans jewel
which had failed to reach here in
time for their anniversary might be
presented to Squire Hayes. 1t had
been intended to make the presenta-
tion part Of the ceremonies in cell
ebration of the anniversary which
they had held some weeks ago but
it failed to get here in time and they
were disappointed. The Rebekahs
were invited to be present when the
jewel was presented to the Squire
who has been faithful member of
the order for so many years. The
presentation speech was made by
Hon. George G. Sturgiss on behalf
of the lodge. Mr. Hayes replied in
feeling manner. The jewel is one
of the handsomest things seen here
for long time.
1t is the first one to be conferred
in the state and marks a half cen
fury of continued membership of the
order on the part of Mr. Hayes. 1t
is doubtful if there is any other
member in the state who has been
an Odd Fellow as long as he has.
The entire time has been spent as
member of the same lodge which
makes the record all the more re-
markable.

freight cars, containing 1880 bottles Of
the effervescent liquid. Pause and reflect
on the significance of the scene, gem

lion gallons are represented in that
freight. The pint bottles are ten inches
high; the quart bottles a foot high.
Placed end to end, they would extend 49,
800 feet; or, eighty-five miles-about as
far as from Richmond 10 Old Point.

the shipment took no pains to conceal

into a vast advertising scheme. and the
