New City Council.

The new City Council was sworn in
Monday and organized Monday night.
Owing to the illness of member, moth
ing was done toward making the sew
eral appointments. There are several
applicants for marshal, while candid
ates for attorney are thicker than fid-
dlers in hades. There is no opposi-
ton to clerk Wherritt, and there
should be none, for he is worthy, COM
petent, and deserves the place. The
Council will meet in a few days and
elect officers, appoint their commit
tees, and then buckle down for fair,
square, economical administration.

A "Swear off, that Stuck.

Exactly twenty years ago on Mon
day, December 6, George T. Farris,
now state senator-elect, then a young
man, with bottle of whisky and a
six-shooter as his companions, at
tended the famous temperance revival
held in the Richmond courthouse by
the noted lecturer, Wenzell, says the
Richmond Climax. Among the four
hundred people who went forward and
signed the pledge was this same George
Farris, armed and equipped as above
mentioned. And to this hour and
minute he has never violated the oath
he took, and never parts with the
card which he signed on that Deem
Der night in 1877. Not only has he
successfully hattled the temptation to
drink strong intoxicants, whisky,
wine, etc, but such harmless (?) bev-
erages as beer and cider have never
since touched his lips.
