STREET PAVING ORDERED.
Six Blocks Will be Laid as Starter
More Will Enthusiastically
Low Cost.

Council met in adjourned session
Monday night for the purpose OF
adopting resolutions ordering street
paving around the public square and
on Jefferson and Washington streets
as far south as Promenade street, dis.
tance Of one block.
The resolutions we're adopted by a
solid vote Of those present. Mr.
Kennan being absent.
Mr.. Mckinney, the city engineer
made report Of his estimate of the
cost of grading and paving the streets
on the square. He estimated that an
average cut Of inches would have to
be made and that the total amount OF
paving would be 2,40O square yards.
That the total cost Of paving at sl.35
a square yard would be s3,240. The
cost per llneal foot being 81 10; this
estimate being on that part Of the
street to a point 30 feet from the
fronts of the business houses, which
would make a strip Of IS feet Of paving
except on the west half Of the block
on the south side of the square. which
would be 2 feet wider on account Of
the absence Of a curb.
The estimate is made on inches OF
macadam, inches of sand and hard
paving brick. The excavating is in
cluded In this estimate.

WILL ASK FOR A CHANGE.
Anderson and Pritehett Want Jack
son at Mexico.

Rev. Joe Pritchett is Presiding FL
der Of the Mexico district Rev. Jno.
Anderson is placed at the Mexico
station. Ii would suit Rev. Anderson
much better to be on the Moberly
station, and it is said that Reys. An.
derson and Pritchett will intercept
Bishop Wilson on his way to Jeffer-
son City to hold the Southwest Mis-,
souri, Conference at that place which
convenes there next Wednesday, Sep
tember II, and try to have him change
the appointment so that Rev. J. H.
Jackson, of Fulton, will be at Mexico
Rev. NJ. II. Moore, Of MOberly, viii be
at Fulton, and Rev. John Anderson
at Mexico. But it is thought very
doubtful whether the Bishop will
make the change. The church and
people at Fulton where Rev. Jackson
is situated would regret TO see him
changed to some other church. Rev,
Jackson is regarded by all classes OF
people in Fulton as one OF the best
preachers that the church and city
has ever had, and would give him up
with great reluctance. Auxvasse
