 Uup .nsant Friction
 There was a little unpleasant friction Q. the opening of the council meeting 1 last night. Whel be called the old council to order, Mayor Shaw ezplsined that u.der the law of congress five members are required to make a quorum of the council to do business, that there were only four councilman present, therefore no business could be transacted, He said if the new council . preferred 10 wait until the old cOunci could wind up it's affairs, meeting could probably be held Wednesday. Councilman McCrath protested against this ruling of the chair, and read from an ordinance passed before the congressional act referred to which provided that a minority of the council could canvas the election returns, de- clare the result and issue certificates of election.
 Mr. Shaw held to bis ruling, saying, however, tba. the new council did not ] have to acceed to his request to wait

Mir. Conway suitably responded by promising to make as good a ma!or as possible.
 On motion of MT. Shea the council went into session as a committee of the whole iu the back room where it was for several minutes.

I. L. Jones should be excused
for running his buggy against a

his attention was completely abb

On last Friday evening Tony

One of our young men con-

on returning home with her from
church found the house on fire.
The brave young man, as quick
as a flash. ascended to the top of
the house, where the fire was,
and extinguised the flames. He
was highly commended by the
girls father for his alertness.
So, young men, If you want to

must learn to be useful in any

seen so beautiful a March as the

birds sang, the whippoorwills
followed, and the frogs came out
wearing their spring suits. Some

it was getting too late to plant
corn but when the frogs went
