Good.

The county court has ordered cleo
trio lights placed in the couet House,
as suggested in The RECORD. They
will only be paid for when in actual
use, consequently will cost far less
than lamps, ch:mneys, oil etc. 1t is
the rule with the Electric Light Co.
to charge for lights at so much per
month, bnt in this case, it worry wisely
and kindly consented to deviate from
the rule. We understand the court
voted unanimously for the improve
ment, and they are entitled to a vote
of thanks from the people for mating
so great an improvement.

The leading social event of the sea-

ladies never looked lovlier nor were
the boys ever on better behavior. The
costumes of the young ladies were OK

the best, by far, ever heard in our city.

Saxon when it comes to dance music.
The large hall, newly papered. was il
Illuminated by many electric lights and
when the grand march was given the
scene was one beautiful to behold
The merriment was kept up till nearly
three o'clock, when the shutting down

THE CITY DADS
Meet, Elect Officers, Appoint Commit
tees and Buckle Down To Business.

The new City Council met in ad j,urn.
ed session Tuesday afternoon. The
m Getting had been postponed on account
of illness of Mr.. Theodore Currey, one
OF the members. 1t being a full meet
ing, the election of officers for the en-
suing year was hell. MIR. VIM, III.
Wherritt was reelected clerk, E. Nj.
Walker, chief of police, and w. O.
Rigney, treasurer, all without opposi-
ton. When the selection of an attor-
ney came mp, the names of w. /. Will.
Jams and Joe E. Robinson were pre-
sented. The vote resulted four for
Williams and two for Robinson. MIR.
Williams was the attorney last year.
The following committees were then
selected:

1t was determined to make strong e.
fort to secure .tter sidewalks and to
take all reasonable steps to secure the
building and repliring OF not only
those on important streets. but all
over the town In this, THE RECORD
voices the sentiments of ninety-nine
one-hundreths o: the people in saying
Amen. The walks on all the streets
are bad and some are disgrace to the
city.
The anonymous letters r. ceived by
several memb ers in regard to appoint
ments were produced and read to the
meeting. 1t was decided to spread
them on the minutes and a committee
was appointed to draw up resolutions
denouncing the writer. The latter
have not yet been prepared, but they
will lie red-hot from start to finish.
The Council is very justly indignant,
not only from receiving the letters,
but to think that anyone is fool
enough to believe that they could be
influenced by any such low tricks.
One of the members told a RECORD
man he was satisfied he knew who
wrote his letter, but would remain
quiet on the matter and treat it with
the silent contempt he has for the
party.
As the town is without a suitable
work house, a committee was appoint
ed to confer with the county offic ais
and make arrangements whereby they
could build the new work house j1iut-
y, thus saving expense to both town
and county. There is no reason why
this could not be done, as the prisoners
could then be placed in charge OF one
man, THIS making another saving.
The statement of the financial con-
ditioa of the town is not quite COM
plesed, but will soon be published, as
required by law.
As we have previously stated, the
present board is composed of excellent
business men, men who have the
towns interests at heart, and our peo-
pie will receive just, economical and
care.u administration.
