The bill amending the city char
teries passed the Legislature during
the closing days of the session and
in the future the control of the GENE
terry property will be left entirely

voted to improving the property and
identifying the public walks and

With the near approach OF the
balmy days Of spring, to be followed
by the sultry days of summer, when
people everywhere are looking for a
pleasant beverage to check a craving
thirst, the Cin-Cho Company, OF this
city, who some months ago was or
gained with plenty of capital to
compound and place on the market
that universally popular soda foun-
tain drink "Cin-Cho," is now hard

of advertising matter for the use of
the retailer. The company has sew
eral men on the road and they are
selling the drink rapidly.
Mr.. George MCGEE, OF this city,
vas married to Miss Margaret Rob
inson at her home near Magnolia, on
March 10th. After the marriage
ceremony was over the happy couple
were driven in a carriage to Mag
nolia, where they boarded the night
train and came on to this city, where
a reception was given at the home OF
the groom's parents Mr.. and Mrs.
Thomas MCGEE. Mrs. M. T. Brezeale
and Mrs. Ben w. Switzerland. of
Mt. Olive, sisters of the groom, were
with the bridal party. A wedding
dinner was served at the home of the
groom's parents that day at which a
number of the family connections
were present. The groom has a num-
Der of friends in this city who will
join those of the popular bride in
wishing for both long life and hap
piness always.
The question has been ~asked--and
it is pertinent, tOo-why does not the
city and county own a steam roller.
They are indispensable in street and
road building. Both the city and
the county have begun the work of
improving the streets and the roads
and the work will not stop where it
is. It must go on from year to year,
and cannot be done successfully
without a steam roller. If the city
owned a rock crusher and a steam
roller the work of paving the streets
could be done at a much less cost
than by contract. This is a question
that the Board of Aldermen and the
County Commissioners could both
investigate with profit. The work
of matchmaking streets and roads
has passed the experimental stage.
Such methods for improving streets
and roads are being adopted all over
the country.
