The work of our city officials is
progressing nicely. In fact, they
get down to hard work Just like
men who are paid for it.
Since our last report a very i'm
portant meeting has been held and
much work disposed of.
Mayor Gait presided with his
usual grace; all aldermen Except
Gorman) were present.
Alderman Wolverton moved that
the city council do not levy the
occupation tax until Jan. /, 1899.
This met with the approval of the
board.
An agreement was closed with
j. B. Srragins for the renting of a
room on Court street for use as
engine room for the fire depart
ment.
The board then proceeded with
the election of tax assessor and
collector, and from six applicants
who hungered for the Office the
majority vote elected Will Green.
Election of street commissioner
was next in order, and out of an
array of seven applicants j. W.
M. Harper was the tallest and
knocked the persimmon.
Election of policeman was next
under consideration, it being
deemed necessary to have an aide
to Marshal Pulliam. Six appli
cants stood in a row for aldermanic
favor, which was showered on w.
E. McLamOre.
Alderman Wolverton moved to
reconsider the motion fixing Jan. l,
1899, as the date for levying tax,
and after some brief. remarks

and was so ordered.
The occupation ordinance wal
adopted as was the ordinance Oh
streets and alleys.
The policeman's bond was fixeC
at $500.
The city attorney was instructed
to purchase such stationery as wa
necessary for the use of his Office
and also instructed to procure {
seal,

A Pleasing Entertainment.

With a company of others the
ARDMoKEITE had the pleasure of
being entertained at the home of
Mrs. L. Peyton by the members of
Mrs. Anna B. Hewett's literature
class.
How Salvador Won" was re-
cited by Miss Anna Matthews.
The pleasing manner, clearness
and ease with which she recited
the thrilling incident speak the
highest words of praise for her and
her proficient instructor.
THE Irres0lute Resolution, "
perhaps some one might say sc
characteristic of woman, was beau.
tifully portrayed in recitation by
Miss Lillian Peyton. Anne
Hathaway" was equally as wei
rendered by Miss Lillian. and wei
might her teacher be proud of hel
success.
Mrs. Anna B. Hewett OF thu
Galveston city schools organized
the class not more than a weel
ago, yet the progress demonstrates
on the part Of its members prov
Mrs. Hewett to be thoroughly ae
I0uainted with her work, and "

At the Union Stock yards the same
crowd Of commission men, yard officials.
yard employees and regular shippers have
been there for several years with the re-
suit that degree OF familiarity prevails
among them which while not breeding
the proverbial contempt. has slowly devel-
open nomenclature in nicknares which
is at once unique and striking. These
names having been tackled on 10 their
owners for years, have assumed a perma-
nent personality and the men are never
called or spoken Of by any other than
these often expressive and always purely
local applications. Whatever else they
may be called by their own kinsfolk and
friends down in the city, at the yards
they are known strictly by these cogno-
mems. For instance. the general and all
applying name of "Petey'' is given TO all.
This name is generic and not specific.
