HoMEwARDTHE LIGHT INFANTRY
viii March Tuesday Night After a
Week of Work and Enjoyment at

ment Has Been Success.

Flushed with the pleasure of q
weeks outing and tanned by the ex.
posure incident to the life of soldier,
the Americas Light Infantry will
march home from Griffin on Tuesday
evening highly pleased with the stay
ola week in camp. For never was a
similar occasion more enjoyed by the
troops, or a military school of IN
structioa so successfully conducted as
has been this one. The boys of the
gallant Fourth Regiment, like the
true soldiers they are, have buckled
down to business the past week, and
while doing hard duty they man aged
to derive no small amount of pleasure
from camp life as well. The Light In
fantry has played conspicuous part in
the life of Camp Northen, and the
company will return home Tuesday
evening pleased with the trip and with
many interesting stories of camp life
to tell their friends here.

ESCAPED THE BRICK BUSINESS.
Property Owners Feel Relief From
Burden.

A hundred taxpayers and property
owners felt decided relief when they
read in yesterdays Times Recorder of
the action of the council majority in
having killed the resolution previously
adopted and which required that
all sidewalks or streets graded and
curbed must be laid with brick, granite
or marble forthwith, but with nothing
cheaper than brick. The enforcement
of this law would have entailed an ex-
penditure of thousands Of dollars for
brick and labor, and mary of the prop
erty owners thus affected protested
vigorously. At the recent meeting of
the Wise Men of the East, however,
the original order was modified to the
extent of compelling only those prop
erty owners on Lee street, between the
Planters Bank building and Church
street, to pave on both sides of that
street, and on the west side of Lee
from Church to Taylor street
