/ a very interesting meeting next thurs,
day. night, taxing UP the Fitzgerald

e. Judge Clopton, City Attorney, has de-
cided that the school districts do not
necessarily have to be the same as the
boundaries Of the wards, there being
four wards and four school districts, he
thinks according to law on the subject

Council from the Fourth, and Mr.. J. r.
Abbott, member from the Third. think
Judge Clopton incorrect in his decision,
end will fight the matter.

election of officers comes up, and Mr..
bradley, now being the president, will
stand for reelection Mr.. Bradley was
