 Selma, July as. ing of the city council convenes to- morrow night 1t is expected that some actual steps in the matter of paving the streets of Selma will be made. An effort will be made tomorrow to have a sufficient number of the members of the body on hand so that the business before the meeting can be disposed of
 While no information Is given out by the committee who has the paving question In hand 1t is generally under stood that they are ready to make a report at the next meeting and to make recommendation to the body The committee has selected the pavement for both Broad and Water Streets and has looked into the financial condition of each one of the concerns which have made bids for the work
 The report which will be made at the next meeting of the council will be one of interest as the committee has made an exhaustive study of the pavement question. It will deal with the merits and ability of the concern who they recommend to do the work as we'll as the bid which the different concerns have submitted.
 It was intimated today from an un- reliable source that probably the paw ing of both Broad and Water Street would be let to one concern which has put in bids instead of the contract being awarded to two concerns. If the paving question Is brought up at the meeting of the council tomorrow night after the contract for doing the same is awarded the matter of Issuing the necessary bonds will be taken up and probably disposed of. The members of the city government expect that there will be some litigation as soon as this bond question is brought forth and the actual work of paving begins But they are confident in winning out in any litigation as the city has proceeded in the paving matter according to the municipal bill which was passed by the late legislature.

OF graduation week, or June week" as

Bag" says:
The night before graduation brings an
evening of high hilarity. for, with the first
class german, the soon-to-be-graduates feel
that the end is coming and that the many
good times at the academy should have a
fitting close. The girls they have dragged
ever since plebe' year are exceptionally
gracious. for they feel that they, too. are
graduating with the class. and that the
hops without the old familiar faces will
never be quite the same. The armory is
decorated as never before, and the band
Is onigh making a special effort that will
stay in memory for many q long day. So
it's all for one good time. and whenever a
few Of these graduate foregather. there'l
be talk Of that evening at the class ger
man. And will the dawn OF graduation
day. what thoughts Of triumph and regret
fill the minds OF the members Of the first
class. what hopes and fears for the fu-
ture. what memories Of the past. Ever
present in the thought of the coming sepa-
ration from classmates who now fill all
the heart, but whom the losing will render
doubly dear. These and others crowd the
brain tina whole, wonderful day, and are
not banished even by the farewell ball, the
climax reserved for the last night at the
academy. Then the end is come, and the
morning sees Bancroft hall empty, and

have this effect on the people who have
