Improved Sanitary Condition.

The improvement Of the sanitary work
of the city has been very noticeable since
the new administration took charge of
the matter, nearly three months ago.
Heretofore this work has been done on
a contract basis by private parties. but
the new administration took the matter
into their own hands, purchased addi-
tional equipment in the way of teams and
wagons, and have been doing the work
with convict labor. Mayor Sugg has de-
voted great deal of his time TO personal
supervision of this part of the city gov
eminent and is very much pleased with
the results obtained, so much so, in fact,
that 1t is likely that he will recommend
to the city council the purchase of adj
ditional teams and wagons, in order that
the work may be done more effectively.
At present only two of the cty's five
teams are engaged in this work, the
others being occupied in hauling ebert
and doomite for the streets.

precious blood shed by bullet and sword
for US?

one of the greatest pleasures of a south

ing star in that beautiful land where low
ing comrades have gone before
