rotary. H. H. Tiff of Triton was re-
elected treasurer. A board of con-

to five scholarships for boys and
three for girls. Where there are
more applicants in a county than
scholarships to which such county is
entitled competitive examinations
will be held
Tiff county has expended more

cultural school. It's buildings are
handsome and of substantial con-
struction, and none Of the district
agricultural schools are better
equipped for work 1t is believed
that there will be as many students
during the approaching term as the
school can care for.
The school has received from the
state since it was opened at the be-
ginning of the last school year the
sum of $1,000. A recent act of the
legislature provides ample funds for
the operation of the school during

Council Refuses Privilege to Run
Il Table After SHUTDOWN.

Council Refuses Privilege to Run
Table After SHUTDOWN.
The city council has held a
special meeting to consider a petit
ton by Judge NJ. G. Statham for the
privilege of keeping open a pool
room until II o'clock at night
The city keeps a strict regulation
over pool-rOoms, and as the result of
a $500 license and an ordinance pro-
viding that they shall not be opened
until sunrise and shall close by sun
down there has been no place of the
kind in Dawson in several years.
The request of Judge Statham,
who proposed to operate a pool room
under an old soldiers license, was
denied by a vote of two to four, AL
dermen Lowrey and McNulty voting
to grant him the privilege and AL
dermen Hollingsworth, Shields, Nc
Lain and Hamilton against it.

new district will be created by the
commissioners, and official notice
given of their action by proper ad-
