RETIRING MAYOR IS
SURPRISED

Retiring Mayor A. E. Long was treated
to a surprise on Friday night OF last week,
when, upon returning to his home at
about $50 O'Clock, he walked in upon a
gathering composed mostly of his old as
sociates in the city council, and who were
bent upon expressing their respect for the
outgoing official, who has held the may
or's chair since the town was incorporated
in 1905.
During the evening Mr.. Long was pre-
sented with fine leather chair by the
council members. the presentation speech
being made by Attorney B. F. Maiden,
and to which Mr.. Long responded in
words that expressed his thorough ap-
probation of the gift and the spirit which
prompted it.
Delicious refreshments were served dur
ing the evening by Mrs. Long, assisted
by Mrs. Geddes and Miss Plunkett. The
old mayor was placed at the head of the
table, while opposite him sat the mayor
elect, f. II. Snyder, with the officials of
the old administration ranged along the
sides Over the festive board the old
mayor, when the toasts were in order,
explained to the new mayor how to col
lect the poll tax without getting killed,
while other members of the council spoke
feelingly upon impounded COWS, dog tax,
water rents and other matters popularity
supposed to create great chunks of
misery for municipal officials. The climax
was reached in this line when Police
Magistrate Reed brought tears to the
eyes of the assemblage by reciting a very
touching refrain entitled, "How Mrs.
Dooley's Cow Was Fined for Eating
Murphy's Shirt" or something that
sounded like that.
Those present besides Mr.. and Mrs.
Long were: Mrs Gedtles, Miss Plunkett,
Mayor-elect Snyder, Aldermen McCabe
Robinson, Little, Geddes and Baker
Police Magistrate Reed, Treasurer Jen-
nings, Clerk Maiden and the council re-
porter, f. A. Southwick.
