WHITES.

Health of the community is not
good.
Mrs. Thomas Gatlin, who had been
suffering several months with heart
trouble, passed away last week, and
was buried by the side of her hus.
band, who died twelve months and
three days ago. Her age was about
70. Her mother is still living and il
SO years old.
A little twin baby of Mr. and Mrs
Willie Gatlin departed this life on
the 4th inst, and was buried at Clear
Branch cemetery; funeral services
were conducted by Rev. Estus Steen.
The other little twin is very sick and
is not expected to live.
Mrs. Apple Sandifer's condition is
some better. Mrs. Mintie Dear is
also better.
Mr.. and Mrs. 1. s. Dear have sick
child, but it is thought to bssome bet
ter. It is though that the cold
weather we have been having has
caused sickness. though we are having
warm weather. and rain now. On the
night of the 9th inst. we had heavy
rain fall, the next morning when we
examined the farm we found that the
circled rows on the hills were not
strong enough to hold the water.
The rows were broken into from the
top of the hill to the bottom. A great
deal Of damage was done to hill land.
Farmers are getting along nicely
scraping cotton. Corn is looking
very we'll. We would be glad if some
one would tell us what to do to avoid
bitter weeds in pastures. Our milch
COWS eat the weeds and the milk is
too bitter for use.
A little excitement took place at
D. j. Byrd's recently, at the wash
place while washing. Some clothing
was put in the pot to boil and there
was an explosion under the pot. The
report was about like that Of pistol.
All the ire was blown from under the
pot. Supposition is that it was q
dynamite cap. No one was hurt.

Aldermen-at-Large to Hold Office Un-

 Aldermen-at-Large to Hold Office Un-
 til 1905.
 The last roster of the board of al dermen, compiled by City Clerk Norris after giving the names of the six alder men-at-large, is followed by the words Terms expire June 1, 1904" As a matter of fact several of the six men who now hold office were of the same opinion and had begun to make plans for the conduct of a new canvass. The aldermen-at-large who preceded them served for one year. and the impress sion was pretty general that six new aldermen-at-large were to be voted for at the coming election. especially as it was given official sanction on the city roster.
 As a mater of fact the charter says:
 "On the third Tuesday of April, 1903, and on the third Tuesday of every April in every second year thereafter. the freemen of said city shall elect by ball. lot from among their number, as pre- scribed by law, mayor and six alder men-at-large, who shall hold office for the term of two years from and af- ter the first week day in June next suc- ceeding his election"
 The terms of Aldermen J. R. Max well. Patrick McGuinness. James P. B. Rieketts. Henry F. Hosiey, W. H. Minor and Thomas Chadwick will therefore expire on June 1, 1905. The only aldermen to be elected at the April election this year will be those in the odd numbered wards.

phogeny of the upper Kern basin" dis closes interesting facts as to the geo. logical formation of this region and gives also an estimate of the time nec- essary for these changes to have taken place.
 Incidentally the age of the Sierra Me- vada Mountains, the oldest part of Cali fornia, may be calculated from Profess sor Lawson's conclusions. According to his estimates, nearly 3,000,0O0 years have elapsed since the beginning of the quaternary time. when the first great uplift took place and raised that part of the mountain range about 2,500 feet. Professor Lawson then divides quater- nary time into two periods, that of the evolution of the high valleys, following this upheaval and that of the cutting of the present canyon system of the Sierra Nevadas, which followed a sec- ond and greater upheaval.
