c0IJNCIL HAD MANY MATTERS TO CONSIDER
coed of Automobiles, Dog Tax Whisky Ordinance and
County Convicts Citys Streets were AT'oNg
the Questions That Came up

,persons clubbing in and buying a
case of whiskey and having 1t shlppeu

it among the owners.
| VIII Tax the Dogs.
| An ordinance placing tax OF SID
on each dog that runs at large on the
streets was read the first time. Inc
owners of dogs must buy tags and
attach them to their CANNES in a con-
snicuous place. Each time an unll-
censed dog shall be found on the
streets it shall be a separate Ottense,
and the owner must suffer the pen
atty.
Wants Convicts on the Streets.
Sometime ago the council sent a
committee before the board OF county
commissioners and requested that the
changing be allowed to work on the
streets of Dawson. That body SEEM
ingly not having thought much or the
proposition, as it took no action there
on. the council has now decided to
90 to the legislature with the mat
ter. A resolution was adopted re-
uuesting Representative Mercer to IN
troduce and have passed through the
legislature a bill requiring that the
county changing shall work on
the streets of Dawson not less
than thirty days of each year.
It is recited that the DOugherty coun-
ty Changing works the streets OF
Albany under a law similar to the
one council wants passed for DaW-
son.
The board of commissioners VIII
doubtless oppose the proposed meas
ure, and take a hand in the matter.
Would Abolish Commission.
Another piece of legislation that
was cut out for the representative
is the adjustment of the Water
and Light Commission which was
created two years ago at the re-
quest of of a former council. The
resolution asking for the repeal OF
the commission says the council does
not deem it of any financial benefit
to the city.
Wanted to Discontinue Sprinkler.
A motion was made to discontinue
the operation of the street sprinkler
at the expense of the city 1t was
defeated by a vote of three to two,
those voting for the motion being
Aldermen McNulty and Hamilton,
and against it Aldermen LoWrey,
Shields and McLain.
The street committee was author
lied to run a small water pipe from
the main line from either Lee or
Stonewall street across to Johnson
street and near Mr.. w. R. Wallis
residence that he might avail him
self of the use of the city's water.

MRS. ELIZA BUSH.
A Tribute to the Memory of Good
Woman.


Woman.
On Sunday, April 5, 1908, as the
clock was striking the hour of mid
night the sweet spirit of Mrs. Eliza
Bush passed from earth's sorrows
into the rest which remaineth to the
people of God. Mrs. Bush had long
been a resident of this county, and
was a consistent member of the Bap-
fist church for many years. She was
liRe the Mary of old who sat at Jesus
feet and learned of him. Her heart
possessed all the elements of true
loneliness, and was one of universal
love. She loved her own family in
tensely and devotedly, and has be-
queathed to her children that which
is better than gold and more pre-
cious than rubies-a name without a
blot and a character without a spot
In the resurrection of the just her
children will arise and can her bless
ed Let us not think of her as dead
but as living; not as a flower that
has withered, but as one that trans
planted and touched by a divine
hand is blooming in richer colo& and
sweeter fragrance than any earthly
flower. To her loved ones we com
mend the following:
Weep not that her tolls are over.
Weep not that her race is run:
God grant we may rest as calmly
When our work like hers issdone.
Till then we would yield with gladness
Our treasures to him to keep.
| And rejoice in the sweet assurance
He giveth his loved ones sleep"
