 Chickens . warm Subject. <, You needn't think that chicken or dinance introduced in the Council Mon day night is matter merely to laugn at" remarked a garrulous, prominent citizen. Tt isn't only serious to those at whose request 1t was offered, either. You see If 1t doesn't create some mifhsy sntnnSy warm discussions before IL IS some persons hearing of a chicken ordinance cry freak iegislation. There was chicken ordinance in Selma that was so hardly fought over that the question of declaring local option so that each ward might vote for chick ans or against chickens was raised N divided brothers and set father against son. Finally 1t was tested in the courts and declared void on some technicality.
 is in effect at this very minute stat ute quite similar to the one introduced Monday night. It made much trouble at first and not a few persons have been arregted for violating 1t. but 1t stands.
 If you own neither chickens nor gardens, and are not frequently in a newspaper office or the city hall. you do not know how much stir there Is over depredations upon gardens by of a prophet: the night that chicken ordinance gets into the Council on its passage there is going to be something warm doing"

 The moving picture shows also seem to be making money right along. l hear there are five In the city and I have been in two, and at each place there was a large crowd.
 This interest in amusements seems to me to be the outcome of the general prosperity"
