To sound their voiceless chime.

Ger Persian valleys faint with odors sweet
Or like enhancing melody

Aglow with heavenly fire.

Awakens sleeping joy, deep toned and full

found very interesting to our
people at this particular time:
Wagner, /. T., Feb. 27.-W. II.
Walker, Purcell, 7. T.: Dear Sir
Your letter of the 25th, inquiring in
to the working Of our city govern
ment has been received.
We have no difficulty in enforcing
our laws. The first administration
had some trouble at the beginning,
but, by being firm they came out
victorious. have been on the
board of aldermen during the past
year and know of what speak. We
assess a five mill tax and by being
economical, we have enough revenue
to carry on the government and i'm
prove the streets to some extent.
The old administration was very ex-
travagant. The mayor was paid $50
per month, and the recorder $500
per year and it took the greater
part of the money collected on taxes
to pay these salaries. We have
knocked these salaries all out except
the marshal, who gets $40 per month
and fees. The mayor and recorder
get fees only. We require all men OF
proper age to work the roads three
days or pay three dollars into the
town treasury. We tax drays, bill
lard halls, hop-ale stands, opera
troupes, shows peddlers, etc.
Take Mansfield's old digest for
your guide and you can make no
mistake. The mayor has power
about the same as justices of the
peace in Arkansas. We are very
proud of the success of our incorpo-
ration so far, and think it is as solid
as any.in the states, with a very few
exceptions. Respectfully,
