GOING TO TAKE THE
OATH OF OFFICE
Will Install New Members
Council.
AT MEETING NEXT WEDNESDAY
Mayor Hawkins and Newly Elected
Members of the City Council Will
Tske Oath of Office at Special
Meeting to be Held Wednesday.

At a special meeting of city council,
to be held on Wednesday night next,
that august body as now constituted
will terminate it's tenure of office,
while the officials recently elected will
take the oath for the term of two years
for which they were chosen.
But the ''23' sign will be displayed
for one member only, Alderman j. A.
Pinkston, one of the most faithful and
Jealous who ever served the city, and
who positively declined reelection.
With this single exception the per-
sonel of the council is unchanged.
Mayor A, e. Hawkins, who has given
the city prosperous and progressive
administration for four years, Ienters
upon his third term as chief executive.
And the people have all confidence in
mis- ability to do even more tor Ameri-
Gus thar in the past.
City Clerk T. n. Hawkes., ever a ca
pable and efficient officer, likewise en-
tiers upon another term as clerk and
treasurer of Americas.
Aldermen Il. S, Childers and J. e.
Poole, reelected, and Alderman 7. M.
FurlOw, are the three members of the
board who will thus take the oath to
serve during a term of two years.
Americas has enjoyed a period OF
great prosperity, and is now upon the
threshold of greater accomplishment
than at any period in her history. And
these officials will work zealously fol
the city's advancement, as they have
ever done.
The election of employees and heads
of departments will take place at the
first meeting in January.

AS the result of the crusade waged by
the grand jury against the druggists
here for alleged Sunday selling, every
drugstore in Americas is shut up today
as tight as clam shell and, druggeti-
cally, there will be nothing doing. Not
cigar, or pill or pizen of any kind
will be sold at all, and if perchance
one catches the govt or appendicitis
he must nurse his trouble and cuss the
powers that be until Monday morning,
unless he can find druggist at home
who will come down town and supply
his needs, The closing agreement may
work a hardship, but the druggists do
not care to be lacked up any more by
spoilers or informers, and will close
on Sunday in future.
