Il trust that the stock law has been
settled for good. Now that this prob
lem is finally solved our citizens may
continue the work Of identifying their
lawns and pavements and homes with
out the menace of roaming COWS.
With pride / refer to the advance
and progress made by the administra-
ton which is just closed. During the
past two years we have built two
miles of new pavements; four miles
of streets, we have spent some 5000
to $500 in improving Ninth street;
more than $1,000 has been spent for
new equipment for the fire depart
ment.

ficient and faithful volunteer fire com
panies to be found anywhere in the
State.

NAV take such action as will effectual-
Nv abate it, 1t is not only destructive
OF property, but is menace to health.
There is one change in the city
administration that l would recon-
mend and that is the separation OF
the Offices of City Marshal and Street
Overseer. Mr.. Morgan has been etii-
cient and done the best that he could,
but | believe that the city will get
more satisfactory service if the two
positions are separated.
"At future meeting / shall recon-
mend the erection of trunk sewer
from Galloway street to the river.
shall urge that the work of improve
ment and Identification, which has
been carried on during the past two
years continue. Our finances are In
most gratifying condition. We are
$1,000 ahead of what we were last
year.

the city officials and employees ! de-
sire to extend my sincere thanks for
their hearty cooperation and devoted
assistance during the past two years.
They have always been ready and will

mittees to make up the budgets at the
earliest moment possible"

sTITuTloNS ARE BOTH DOING
GOOD BUSINESS.

Reports made by the Bank of Cul-
leoka and the Spring Hill Bank to the
Comptroller of the Treasury at the
close of their business on Dec 81 have
been the subject of much favorable
comment These reports show that
Maury county has two of the strong
est and best managed country finan-
cial institutions to be found anywhere
in the State. They have both made
money during the past six months and
at the same time have been of great
service to their communities. Com
paratively speaking they are young,
neither having been organized great
many years ago, but they have had
eminently successful careers.
The Spring Hill Bank with assets
Of $4,000 and deposits of about $780,
900 makes showing that is surpassed
by few banks Its surplus and profit
account is constantly growing. Under
the capable management of President
Ayres and Cashier Ayres it is sure
to attain yet greater success.
Although but four years old and
having paiG up capital of only $500
the Culleoka Bank has made steady
progress. It's deposits are now close
to the $4,000 mark Cashier Adams
is receiving the congratulations of the
shareholders and patrons of the bank
on the showing made.
