DR.. Herschel Hendricks is moving
from Piqua to lola today. He has
been practicing medicine there for
some months, but has decided to move
to lola and has shipped his household
goods here and will reside with his
father on east Madison avenue.
AHumboldtman was in lola the othe +
day, and speaking of the court house
proposition he expressed himself as
favoring it. He favors it because he
has frequent business in the court
house and thinks the present building
inadequate and shabby. He also
thinks now good time to dig up
money for a new.one, when the county
is as prosperous as it ever was. "And
that county seat talk" he concluded,
lis all bosh so far as am concerned.
Why it is worth $500 year to me to
have the court house in lola instead
of LaHarpe. We:lHumboldt people
can run up, do ourAbusiness, and get
home in the afternoon, but If we had
to go to LaHarpe we would have to
spend whole day and perhaps stay
over night. And in tax paying time
that is important to a lot of Humboldt
people and we think right now is a
good time to drive nail in thematter
and permanently fix the court house
at lola. There is only one better place
in the county, Humboldt, but We are
not going to get sore on that score.

RONEY's BoYs' ARE ARTISTS.
Their Entertainment at Guards Hall
Proved Most Enjoyable

A most novel and delightful entertain
nent was given at the Guards Hall last
night by Blatchford Kavanagh and
'Roney's Boys Concert Company. With
the exception of Mr.. Kavanagh, the boys
are all quite young, but thorough artists,
fact that was proven to the audience
within short time after the concert be-
gan.
The programme was as follows:
Violin solo, Second Polonaise Brilliant"
CWieniawskD, Master Tracy Holbrook.
Contralto solo, THE Soldiers Dream"
(Rodney). Master Harold Maurer
Song, "Staccato Polka" (Mulder), Mas
ter Harry Cockrell.

Crippen and Maurer.
Song, Forgotten" (Cowles) Mr.. Batch
ord Kavanagh.
Vslse Song, (ArditD, by the Company.
With but TWO exceptions every num-
Der on the programme was encored in a
way to call forth recall piece, and these
were given quite cheerfully by the lit
lie musicians.
While all were good, little Jamie Grip
pen is undoubtedly the bright particular
star of the company. His work was thor
5ughly artistic, and the audience showed
its appreciation of his efforts by giving
aim a round of applause whenever he
appeared
The boys made their first appearance in
4 neat and distinctive uniform, which
vas changed for court costumes
Of the time of Louis XIV, and
still later for other costumes accord
ding to the character of the selections
that were to be given. When they sang
"Tenting Tonight" they Wore patriotic
costumes of Stars and Stripes.
OF the many selections given, there is
no question that Master Crippen's solo,
"Dost Thou Know That Fair Land" Mig
nom Thomas. and the trio from Elijah"
Lift Thine Eyes" sung as an encore to
I'm Old Madrid" were the most artistic
and best sung. The duet, Romeo and
Juliet" sung by Master Crippen and MIR.
Kavanagh as an encore to Love On"
was very much enjoyed, especially on ac
count of Master Crippen's very clever inn
personaton of the love-sick girl.
II had been hoped and half way expect
ed that the clever youngsters would re-
main in Savannah Sunday and might be
induced TO sing in St. Johns Church, but
an engagement in Macon for tonight
made this impossible.
The appearance of the company was I'M
der the auspices of the Chance. Society Of
St. johns Church. which will use such
funds as were collected above expenses
in the redecorating of the interior of the
church. The audience that attended the
entertainment was an exceptionally large
one.

Alderman Thomas, Chairman of the
Committee. Discusses Matter.


Committee. Discusses Matter.
Forty thousand dollars appropriated
for opening streets in 1901. but $4,000 of
the appropriation must be expended in
taking up Mayors notes that fall due
during the year for purchases that were
made previous to this year. 1t has been
customary for land needed for opening
streets to be acquired in this way prom
issory notes being given in payment.
Alderman Thomas is chairman Of the
committee which has charge of opening
streets He was asked yesterday If it
were probable that very much would be
accomplished this year towards getting
limits He replied that it would depend
greatly upon the spirit in which the com
mittee is met by property owners whose
land is desired. If moderate prices and
easy terms can be secured, there is no
reason why considerable land for open
streets should not be ACQUIRED
In his annual report the Mayor
recommended that property be Sc
cured south OF Forty-second street.
in order that, upon the extern
sion of the corporate lint is at any time
in the future. the city may have land for
the opening of streets Alderman Thomas
expressed approval Of the recommended
ton, but said he could not say VIII Their
it would be carried out. as it will first be
necess airy for him to consult with his
committee and with Council.

WILL he NO CREMATORY.
Present Method of DisposinE of Gar
bagc is Satisfactory.

bHEc IN
No change will be made in the present
method of disposing of the city garbage
Director of Public Works George NJ
Gadsden said yesterday that the DISPOSE
ton Of the garbage is entirely satisfac-
tory. 1t is now taken to the farm of Mag
G. NJ. Ryals. west of the city. where it
is dumped. After standing for time. the
garbage becomes excellent fertilizer. Maj.
Ryals makes no charge for the dumping
ground, nor does he have to pay the city
for the garbage. The plan brings mutual
benefit.
A new crematory, Mr.. Gadsden said.
would cost $4,000. The old one, now unfit
for use cost something like $1,000. and a
new one, thoroughly adequate TO the needs
and equipped in accordance with modern
IDEAS. would cost fully the amount men.
toned No appropriation has been made
for such an undertaking. so the present
system of disposing of the garbage must
BE- continued.
The city wagons have a good road to the
dumping ground. Gwinnett street. ex
tended has been paved, and access to
Mai. Ryals' farm is easy.

made noise that awakened Mr.. Steffens,
who lives in a house adjoining the grocery
and bar. The efforts of the wouid-be rob-
Der to get on the inside aroused the gro
ceryman, but when he had gotten down
stairs the man had been frightened away.
The attempt at robbery was reported at
police headquarters, and the case was
turned over to the city detectives. They
have been unable to do anything in
the matter, inasmuch as Mr.. Steffens did
not see the man and does not know wheth-
