II. Leading Paper of til. County


Well, Christmas is almost in our
midst, and it won't be scairsly a
few days until it will be thing of
the past, as you might say. Judg-
ing by the movements of the tin
rooster on top of Eph Higgins's
postoffice during the past few days
we calkilate that Christmas this
year will be cold enough to freeze
the ears often a brass monkey. But
that's the brand of weather feller
wants on Christmas - especially
them as has got a lot of firewood
cut and dried. Them as amt
wouldn't be Particular if it was as
hot as the fourth july. Most every
body we meet on the street these
days is getting ready for Christ
mas in one way or another. We
reckon that Bill Hepburn, our art
istick blacksmith, viii celebrate his
Christmas by going to the county
seat and getting full as a goose, like
he did last Christmas, when he tried
to drive home after dark and fell
outen the buggy coming down
Teck's Hill into snowdrift, where
he went to sleep, freezing one ear
and ketching a bad cold on his
chest, which almost give him new
monia, and was a godsend to Doc
Livermore, who Bill still owes for
the doctor bill.
Arrangements has been made to
hold a Christmas Tree and enter
tainment in OUR church on Christ
mas Eve. This function will be en-
tirely free and everybody whether
males, females, democrats or repub-
licans is cordially invited to be
present. Following is the offishal
programme: Prayer, Rev. Samuel
Moore; Anthem, by the choir (the
solo part in this anthem was to have
been took by Miss Amelia Tucker,
Bingville's society queen, but being
as Amelia has a cold in her head
and can't sing without singin'
through her nose, the solo will be
sang by Miss Sally Hoskins, who
amt no SLOUGH as a singer, for we
have heard her and know what
we're talking about; Recitation,
"'Twas the Night Before Chris

comb; Solo, ring Out Glad Bells, !"

ton, Hang Up Your Stocking" by

Deacon Butterworth worked of a
dollar on US last week which had a
hole in it. The deacon called to pay us
dollar on subscription and we was SO
surprised that we didn't take time to
look at the dollar. We know sure we
got it from the deacon, however, be-
cause it's the only dollar we have had
for quite a spell. We have been try
ing to spend it reeklessly here and
there ever since, but without success.
and unless the deacon gives us good
first class dollar in its place we pro-
pose to stop his paper.

Manager Yale's claim that the "Dev- ills Auction" is the oldest in name, yet the newest in point of novelty, can we'll be substantiated in this the twenty-ninth edition of this famous spectacle, as everything is new from the time the curtain rises on the first act until it is rung down on the beau tifu Transformation scene, Amor cLove'D at the close of the perform ance. Every act, novelty and feature is new, as we'll as the scenery, proper ties, etc. In fact not one old feature is retained, and the theater going pub lie of Hot Springs have treat in store for them on Monday, November Sth.

ATTEMPT WILL BE MADE TO PLACE RESPONSIBILITY IN
 NEXT COUGH CAUCUS.
Mayor To Be Given Authority to Re yoke Permits of All Who Do
 Not Comply With Ordinance.

The disposition of the garbage of
 the city will be revived and an at
 tempt made to definitely settle the question at the next council caucus,
 which win be held within few days. Under an agreement the council will
 be called to a long afternoon caucus. so that ample time will be given to thoroughly thresh out the various con tentions.
 The question of placing the respons- ibility of hauling garbage is the moot
 ed one in the issue. It is claimed
 that with ten or twelve persons hay
 ing permits to haul city garbage. the
 select garbage from hotels is given
 prompt attention, and the small gar
 bage from homes scattered about the
 city is neglected.
 Several claim that if the licenses were revoked of all except those who dump garbage on the designated dumping ground there would be no
 rivalry, and that the big company would have the entire field, and under its bond. would be liable for penalties where homes were neglected It has developed in the argument of the question that large hotels are even paid for their garbage by per sons who find the substance profitable for feeding hogs. Others claim that hog fed swine are not proper fooi, and the question deepens until the board of health may be called into consultation when the issue is faced. There are now but about eight per mits out, and these are in the hands of persons who desire the garbage either for feeding hogs or for fertiliz- ing purposes. The garbage taken in
 hand by the regular garbage company is used for the oils taken from it, and the dry garbage is burned on the des- ignated city dump.
 Formerly the garbage company had a quantity of swine which fed from
 the garbage, but that practice, it is said, has been discontinued some time
 ago.

 The Top O tn World" Is described on the program as a merry musical extravaganza. It Is all Of that and then some more.
 Even those dyspeptics who knock everything that comes along had to admit that those boys. Bailey and Aus tin, were clever and that they were backed up by an exceptionally large company of real entertainers and that the settings and costumes were fairly dazzling.
 "The two acts fairly run over with novelties and are given with more than the usual snap and ginger. The whole thing was refreshing, from the girls in the chorus to the collie dog ballet. Even the use made of the man , in the box was out of the beaten path. Ralph Austin and Frank Bailey were strangers to Savannah theater-gDers. Their work won't be forgotten soon. They are both clever and funny. seem. ingly without an effort.
 Charles Harris, as Aurora, was splendid and shared the honors with the stars. Miss Florence Smith, as Kokomo, an Eskimo belle, was cspti vating, and like the other members of the large company was working every moment she was no the stage.

SAVE WATER FOR EMERGENCY USE NO DANCE R FROM DRourH IF CITIZENS WILL FOLLOW IN Otherwise here May Be an Extreme conditio|n to be Met Later on,
 whi oh Saving of Water
 Tow Can Prevent.

On accIount of the many rumors about thfs streets for the past two weeks thlat the city would be at the mercy o4 fire if such should break out. Major todd yesterday afternoon called af meeting of the members of the cityf council and a large numper of citizeAs to book into the matter and if necef:ar to consider any steps that mi Eht be deemed necessary.
 The officers of the water company were 1resent and gave the council and the citizens present complete report Iof the amount of water in the lafes And reservoir, and their report was borne out by some of the council men who had made an investigation. The report in short is that there was ah AMPLE SUPPLY OF WATER 1 IN CASE OF FIRE.
 Hot Springs is in the same position as practically all cities of the south where the extended drouth has pre- | vailed. and it was the unanimous opin- | ion of all those present to urge the water users of Hot Springs to be careful to conserve the supply of wat CT by eeasing to sprinkle their yards or to in any other way diminish the water supply beyond actual demands. | If the water users and citizens will comply with the request of the com mittee that made the investigation and the water company there will be no water famine in Hot Springs and there will be no danger of a shortage of water in case of fire.
 The reservoir from which the fire plugs are fed contains s500.000 gal Ions of water. and is constantly kept filed
 The water company during the past week has reduced the pressure on the water mains about one-half and | this has resulted in a saving of the | amount of water ordinarily used about li)ne-lOuIJn.
 This question is one that concerns every property holder and they should see to it that as little water as pos sible is used on their premises in or der to prevent just such a condition as wslsl set forth in the rumors 1 Let the watch word of every citizen
 
 be: SAVE ALL THE WATER YOU CAN.
 | If precautions are not taken to pre- vent the waste of water by consumers 1 the water company will be compelled to adopt the same methods that other | cities are being forced to adopt and only furnish water in some sections of the city during certain hours of the | day.
 The policy of the water company will depend On the compliance of 1 water consumers with the request made by the committee that makes the request, and the practice of the most rigid economy in the use of water.
