had its effect in strengthening the market.
1t seems probable that work is to be

felt by a falling off in the receipts. A CON

Question of Citizenship.

Vienna Progress: Prof. G. w Smith is
having a hard time proving his citizen
ship. He has been elected county school
commissioner Of Houston, but he has been
teaching in Dooly and made the mistake
OF voting In the Unadilla town election,
which gave his opponent plea that Prof.
Smith was a citizen Of Dooly and not of
Houston. Smith has evidence from Bibb
county that polltax has been charged
against him up there for every year since
he taught there in 1894. Dooly Is also
holding pooitax against him, but he
claims that he was citizen Of Houston
all the while, and paid polltax there He
was elected by the Houston school board
three to one, his opponent appealing the
case to the State School Commissioner.
Prof. Smith has moved back 90 Hous-
ton, and will become eligible within six
months and will probably be elected anew
II he cannot GUST his opponent before.
