We need a new Council. A new broom
sweeps clean, and the devil knows the
town needs a sweepin. The sidewalks
needs sweepin' of loafers; and the cutters
needs sweepin of stable dung; and the
saloons needs sweepin of boys; and the
harlot shops needs sweepin of rotten
ness, and the Council chamber needs
sweepin of lobbyists, that prowl around
at night to see where they can set up a
job on the taxpayers. We need more
men in the Council who will take care
of the town. We don't want men who
will order improvements, to give some
friend fat ID; and make people put
down cement sidewalks where they amt
needed. We want good house for a
good fire Department, but We don't want
no gilded palace that it'll give somebody
job to build it. If this town can't elect
men that'll represent the peoples, then
better sell it out at once, instead of by
peace meal, and be done with it. We
want street improvements that will be
good for the town, but we don't want
the money that ought to 90 into the
streets, to 60 into the contractors pock-
cts. We don't want this town taxed to
death by men that don't pay no taxes
We don't want any Jim Crow Council

AguinaldO Asks For a Cessa-
tiOn of HOstilities.

The Americans at latest advices had
control for radius of nine miles around
Manila. The Filippinos we're utterly
routed, and scattered. Aguinaldo is re-
ported to have asked for cessation OF
hostilities. The Americans have cap
tured the position of the water works OF
the city that had been held by the Flip
pinos.
While a few detached bodies of the
enemy still offer desultory opposition,
the main body of the rebels is in full
retreat and utterly routed.
OF the hordes of troops originally
drawn up in battle against the Ameri-
cans, fully one-third are already incapa-
citated and the others are scattered in
every direction.
The terrible loss OF the rebels may be
gathered from the fact that 100 of them
were buried in one rice field on Monday
near Pssas, and that 81 were inferred
between Paco and Santa Ana.
A converted river gunboat did terrible
execution among the rebels, sweeping
both banks of the river with her gat.
ling gums and her heavier battery
Hundreds of Filippinos undoubtedly
crswled into the cranebrskes and died
there.
The Americans are working nobly in
their efforts to find the wounded and
are bringing hundreds of suffering rebels
to the hospitals for treatment. The
natives are unable to understand the
motives which prompt the victors ia
succor the wounded of the enemy.

A COnundrum.

Why is it, that in the late war, beet
ration was substituted for bacon ration
for the soldiers? Bacon can be much
more easily transported, the soldier can
carry it in his haversack on the march;
he can stand more exposure, work and
marching, on it, and keep in better
health. Why then, was beef 80 largely
substituted? Wehave never heard it ex-
planned. Did anybody have job? Beef
inspected a few days ago at Havana,
was found unfit for use, while bacon put
up in 1891, was found good. Such
uestions should be given attention.

A REPLY TO Mr., CHM,

A gentleman who signs himself (this
time) w. A. CHM, being accused by
certain farmers of Union township Of
illegally raising their assessments seeks
to excuse himself by accusing divers
and sundry persons of being sin it, too,
including among others myself, as
Auditor. was glad he signed himself
this time as Mr.. CHM instead of Mr..
Antrim, (Which understand he some-
times does,) as people generally in this
county and Shelby, know the value of
his word, as CHM. I would not pay
any attention to his personal abuse, but
there are several dimly defined charges
against me as Auditor. which the people
first charge is that have 500 of illegal
fees that I have not turned into the
treasury. He should do as the farmers
! of Union township have done, and lay
the matter before the Commissioners OF
Prosecutor. know of no such fees
and would not hesitate to pay back the
same, if he or Ony one could show them
up. His charge is false.
In the next place he charges that
cost the taxpayers on the Ansley ditch
5000 by not serving notices on all par
ties affected by such ditch and that the
costs were $3.50 more. The facts in tn,
Ansley ditch case are as follows: Mrs
Ansley petitioned for ditch. The peti
ton was written in Surveyor CHM
office and the names of the partie
, affected, included in the petition as tn
law directs. The Auditor sent notice
to all parties included in the petition
and that was all the law required o
him. But he went further and wrot
extra notices for serving on any othe
persons who might be found who wer
; affected Mrs. Ansley, not being wei
acquainted in the neighborhood, did nc
find all the parties affected, and some G
these parties when assessed by tn
, Engineer, enjoined the collection g
taxes from them. The Commissioner
finding that these parties ought to b
assessed, dismissed the case, and pal
! the costs, $19.7S, not $3.50. Mrs. Ansle
filed her petition again. and the Engi
) neer was asked (as he had surveyed tn
line, and gone over the land to see wha
land was affected) to make out a fu
list He is not required by law to d
this. 1t was the petitioners place bu
he undertook the same, and furnishe
the list. The Auditor issued the notice
and at the petitioners request, had M,
, Frank Blessing serve them. The firs
day out Mr.. Blessing found ten person
: affected, but not on the Engineers lis
and in all found 81 persons affected, bu
not on the list, on all of whom he serve
q notices. This much as to the serving

9 cases are as follows:
