ANNIE OAKLEY
DELIGHTS CROWD
Her Marvellous Shooting Created Great
Applause.

Several hundred people were
at the Gun Club Grounds Friday
afternoon; number of them to
participate in the shoot but the
great majority to witness the
exhibition of Mrs Butler, better
known as Annie Oakley" for
it was under this name that she
has travelled throughout the land
and won the reputation of being
the worlds greatest rifle shot.
For twenty years she was the
principal feature of Buffalo Bili's
Wild West Show, but for some
time she has been a member of
the u. NJ. c. squad now touring
the Soyth. Besides Annie Oak
ley the squad is composed of
half a dozen gentlemen all of
whom are crack shots and have
won distinction in various parts
of the country.
Annie Oakley's use of gun
and pistol is simply wonderful
and no one can begin to appre-
ciate her marvellous skill with
out witnessing an exhibition.

PROCEEDINGS CITY COUNCIL

Columbus, Miss, March 10.
At meeting of the Council
this date. present E. S. Donnell,
Mayor and Councilmen Weaver,
Lincoln, Walker, McClanahan
and Gardner, the following call
of the Mayor was read:
Columbus, Miss, March 10th.
To the City Council: -
Gentlemen:-You are respect
fully requested to meet in ses-
sion at the city hall at 7:30 p. m.
March 10, 1908, for the purpose
of considering what should be
done in the way of providing
safe fire escapes for the city
schools. This | deem of great
Importance and a matter that
demands your immediate atten-
ton for the safety of our child
ren.
trust each member of the
Council will be on hand prompt
ly. An amendment to your
Pound Ordinances has been sug-
gested and will also be taken up
if you so desire.
Respectfully,
E. S. Donnell mayor.
To B. A Weaver, B A Lincoln,
]. L Walker, d. S. McClanahan,
E S. Moore and w. L. Gard
ner.
The Mayor stated that he had
always been in favor of providing
fire escapes at our Public Schools,
since he thought the death of
or injury to one child of far more
concern than the amount it
would cost the city, from dol
lar and cent standpoint, to pro-
vide the proper protection, and.
further, that in his opinion
were any lives to be lost on ac-
count of fire at one of the
school and no fire escapes having
been provided that each and
everyone of the City Council
could be held criminally liable.
He therefore urged prompt ac-
tion looking to the immediate in
stallment of this much needed
protective measure.
Weaver by Lincoln. That the
mayor and school committee be
and are hereby empowered to
provide such fire escapes at the
several city schools as investi-
cation may demonstrate the oc-
casion demands. So ordered.
The following Ordinance was
on motion of Councilman Weaver.
seconded by Councilman Walker
adopted:
An Ordinance-Be it ordained
by the Mayor and City Council
of the City of Columbus, Missis-
sippi: That it shall be misde-
meanor for any owner or psrson

Is just the same after you have once
