DEATH OF Mr.. II.
B. ROBINSON

Alter only a weeks illness and a
consistent struggle for life, Mr.. H.
B. Robinson passed away at his home
yesterday morning, surrounded by a
loving family, sister and brother, and
many true friends
A young man, presenting to the
world perfect picture Of health, to
be taken away so suddenly is but a
warning from on high to be ready
ourselves for the last summons.
His death was a surprise and a
shock to all who knew him
MIR. Robinson had hardly reached
his two score years. He was man
OF high principles and one who loved
and was true to his friends. He was
also good father and husband, and
all OF his spare hours were spent with
them around the hearthstone.
At the time OF his death he was a
member Of the Baptist church and a
teacher N ITS Sunday School. He
lived true, consecrated Christian
iIte' and, as he expressed it in the
end, was not afraid to die.
Mr.. Robinson was also member
OF the StonewaIl Jackson Lodge K.
OF = Woodmen Of the World and
hmshts o1 Honor, and In each he
lived up to his obligations and the
nome church, lodge and citizenship
have all lost true man.

4 petition was presented by Mr.. T.
McCutcheon for a lease Of certain
part Of the river front for 10 years.
This matter was discussed by Coun-
Gilman Wilczinski and Mr.. McCutcn-
con for some time Mr.. Wilczinski
held that the city purchased the pro-
perty for $25 900, and he did not think
the Council could or shol1d give al
exclusive right to the river front whar
age Mr.. McCutcheon held that at pres
Ell the city business was being cut off
by the way the river freight was be-
ing handled The majority of the
Counclmen agreed with Mr. Wilczin-
ski against exclusive privilege and
they did not feel they had the power
to give this to anyone.

drained The Council declared the
matter nuisance. and ordered Mr..
Harty to connect his houses with the
sewerage.
Mr.. Wilczinski favored the expense
of money at this. time of year to drain
off the filthy parts OF the city SO as
o prevent summer sickness. An es-
innate was asked of Engineer Allen
to drain that part of the city.
Mr.. Wilszinski addressed the Coun
Gin on the issuance of $4,000 drain
age bonds for the use Of the city, and
favored that the city's attorney be au-
horized to draw bill auhorizing the
city to issue $4,000 Of non-taxable
twenty year bonds.
The question of directory for the
city Of Greenville. and street mum
bers. was brought before the Coun-
eli by Mr.. l. Bergman, Of the post
Office department, and after a dis
cassion. the city attorney was in
sructed to frame an ordinance SO as
to guarantee Mr. Crosby the cost Of
street numbers put up, and require
he proper numbering Of the entire
city Tor the proper delivery OF mails,
etc.
MIR. George Wheatley asked for a
correction Of the erroneous assess
