was cause to believe that two OF
the city scavengers we're not put
ting in the full amount of time
for which they were paid and
thought they should be required
to work for the city the same as
for an individual or corporation.
Several of the aldermen agreed
with him, but no definite action
was taken.
A petition from more than 200
citizens was read, requesting the
council to provide for the clean
ing out and deepening of all
creeks and bitches inside the city
limits, so as to completely drain
the low places of allsurface water.
After full discussion. Aid lis
del moved that the matter be re-
fered to the street and alley COM
mittee to investigate and make
an estimate of the expense and
extent of the work necessary to
accomplish the results asked by
the petitioners.
On motion of Aid. Bowen, the
mayor was authorized to direct
the police to make a canvas of
the city and see that all barrels
and pools of stagnant water like
1y to prove mosquito hatcheries,
be eliminated.
A communication from t b e
board of education was read, ask
ing the city to purchase seven lots
in the Williams addition, just
east of the cotton mills to be used
as a location for the new colored
school building. DR.. Osborne
was present and addressed the
council on behalf of the school
board. He stated that the city
could acquire the lots at a cost of
$3.50 each, or $262.50 for the
seven, and he, thought it a good
business proposition. He said
the colored people stood ready to
purchase the colored church and
lot, which stands in the center of
the lots desired by the board, and
present them to the city. With
the $4,000 appropriated for
co1ored school building, this
church could be remode1ed and
an addition built for the fall term,
otherwise there was no hope of
finishing a new building this
year. He also requested the
council to grant the board use of
the large room on the north side
of the city hall upstairs, in which
to conduct one grade of the white
schools during the coming school
year. Both requests of the board
were granted. The lots will be
purchased and the room donated.
Petition from the local brick
layers union was laid on the
table.
Report of the boiler inspector,
stating that the boilers at the
plant were in good condition and
being properly cared for, was
read and placed on file.
Petition from city sexton Nor
man Burton, asking for six weeks
leave of absence, was granted.
A bill for 100 arbor vitae trees,
ordered by Undertaken McCor-
mick for the cemetery, was pre-
scented to the council for ratif-
cation. The aldermen seemed
to think the trees were cheap
enough at SOC each, but were in
doubt as to the variety doing we'll
here, so the matter was laid over
to next meeting for investigation.
Ordinance No. 2O3 was given
second reading and passed.
An ordinance was introduced
and given its first reading, pro-
viding for a minimum price for
| lights of $1.O0, and for city water

Formation of Gold Nuggets.

Mines and Minerals: That COLA IS
formed from solution is generally rec
ognized. The miner receives the the
DRY because 1t explains the making of
gold to him, but he often wonders how
it is done, so here is what has been
seen: Daintree once prepared a solu-
ton of gold and left in it a small piece
OF metallic gold. Accidentally a small
piece of wood fell into the solution; the
solution decomposed, the gold assumed
a metallic state and collected and held
to the small piece of undissolved gold,
which increased in size. Another in
vestigator heard of this and made a
dilute gold solution, in which he i'm
y1ersed a piece of iron pyrites and left
1T there a month. He added also or
ganic matter, and at the months end
the pyrites were covered with a film
of metallic gold. Pyrites and galena
were next tried, and each was covered
with gold. Gold, copper pyrites, arse
meal pyrites, galena, wolfram were al
so tried. with similar results. Metallic
precipitates were tried, and while they
threw down the gold as a metallic DOW
der they did not cause 1t to cohere
nor to plate any of the substances
tried. Organic matter thus seemed the
necessary chemical agent. Through
the wood used in these experiments
gold was disseminated in fine particles.
Imagine these experiments conducted
by nature through ages and the result
could be a nugget.

Wanted TO Save Interest.

Daniel Webster, the famous Ameri-
can statesman, once dined with an old
Boston merchant, and whea they came
to the wine a dusty old bottle was
carefully opened by the servant and
passed to the host. Taking the bottle,
he filled Webster's glass and handed
it to him. Then pouring out another
for himself, ne held it to the light and
said;
How do you like it," Mr.. Webster"
81 hin it's u fine specimen Of old
port"
Now can you guess what 1t cost
me?' asked the host.
Surely not" said Webster. Il only
know that IL is excellent"
Well, now / can tell you, for l
made a careful estimate the other day.
When / add the interest TO the first
price. 1 find that it cost me the sum of
Just 5 shillings per glass"
Good gracious! You don't say So"
cried Webster. And then, draining his
glass, says "A b~iographer, he presented
it again, with the remark:
Fill it up again as quick as you can.

Convincing Evidence.

"A plain and straightforward story

that Is what has impressed us most in
reading the testimonials in regard TO

told by Davis Lewis of this place bears
the ring and stamp OF truth upon it.
He says:
II was troubled for six months with

stomach, at other times up between
my shoulders. When 1t was in my
stomach | was doubled up, and hardly
