He was small boy-not such very
small boy-in an cut of town school.
He had written a composition. II was
upon the subject of dogs. Now, the
teacher of the school was man, and
he was not popular. He was what the
boys call mean" They dsliked him
thoroughly, from the tips of his shin
ing shoes to the end OF his pompadour
combed hair. In the composition there
was a story of dog. Ii was the story
of a very mean dog, and as the com
poser of the literary effort came to the
last line he read it emphatically and
with great dstinctness of utterance,
and the hears of all the other small
boys in the room, as they listened,
quaked, half with delight and half
with fear, knowing what was to follow,
and gazing, fascinated, at the upright
couture of the master, as the reader
ended: And that dog was so mean
that his hair stood on end

CITY Council has been petitioned by the
residents of East Lake to pass an ordi-

the city limits. 1t is strange that such
little thug as bee should be able to stir
up SO much discord among the peaceful
residents Of East Lake.

Important Events,


Tuesday, the 18th instant, was the 37th
anniversary OF the firing on Fort Sumter
by the rebels, thus opening the struggle
to overturn our Government and establish
Southern Contederaoy. Our older cit-
Ecns wildly remember those eventful acts
which followed, deiuging many II fiold
with blood, but finally resulting in eslab-
fishing our Government Oh 1rmer basis
than the one before occupied.
Wednesday was the 33l anniversary ofthe
shoe ing Of Abraham lincoln, one Of the
most das 9ardly acts ever perpetrated. The
sountry from centre to circumference was
appalled, by the deed and every patriot
called for the punishment Of the scoundrol
Els life paid for his crime, and justice to
that extent was satisfied. Tho name Of
Lincoln has become immortalzed and will
DO cherished by all coming generations.

CHIEF Of Police Dolan is determined to
break up the practice of pawnbrokers
violating the act requiring them to regis
tor all goods purchased by them. Numer-
Gus petty cases OF thieving having come
to the attention Of the chief through his
officers, he has set out with an idea to
put stop to it by causing the arrest of all
yiolators of the same. Pawnbrokers ap-
pear to DO necessary evil in every city,
and the only way to prevent fehccs is by
having complete police surveillance over
them all, and even then, those who are in
purchase from thieves goods they know are
stolen and send the same out Of the city,
where they are disposed Of. The chief is
to be commended on the stand he has tax
On and the cooperation Of bis officers.
Mr.. ]. T. ADDICKs will have to defend
the suit brought against him for the Sec
Ond time for divorce. The first action
charged him with being intimate with
we'll known lady, who was once one of his
Wifes dearest friends. The charge was
not substantiated. This time his wife
gives as her grounds for divorce, deser-
lion and non-support. Mrs. Addicks is
Mr. j. Edward Addicks' second wife and
Tor several years has not lived with her
husband owing to difference between
them, which the wife charged in her first
suit for divorce and alimony. The suit
attracted considerable attention owing to
the prominence of the defendant and was
bitterly contested by him, tho trial costing
some thirty Thousand dollars 1t is not
known whether Mr. Aldicks will attempt
TO defend the present suit.
