This, the month of May, is being
observed with great solemniJy in
all of the Catholic churches through
out the world. This month is ded g.
icated to the blessed Virgin in the
Catholic churches, this being due
to the fact that it is termed the most
beautiful month of the year, as all
of the flowers are in bloom and
everywhere greens and shrubbery
abound.
The month of May brings many
other important Catholic feast days
which are observed in the Catholic
churches. Last Sunday the feast
of the two great Apostles, ST. Peter
and St. Paul were celebrated by

occasion.

CITY COUNCIL
HELD MEETING
Tuesday Night and Transacted
Important Business. "Clean
up the Town" The Motto

From the manner in which the
newly elected council of Pocahon-
tas have started off it seems to be
an evident fact that they have taken
''clean up the town" to be their
slogan.
At the meeting held Tuesday
night there were present Mayor
Bowers and Councilmen Carter,
Shivley, Pruitt, Baltz and Bowers. i.
In the absence of Recorder Wells,
j. G.. Bowers acted as such.
The following bills were allowed
and order paid: 7. S. Bennett,
labor with team, $l0.50; Jess
Haynes, team 80 hours, so; Jake
Kizer, team 80 hours, so; Sam
Sage, labor 10 hours Sl.25; Bill
Pratt, labor on walk, $5.35; Josh
Wilson, labor on walk, SO. rs; Jess
Haynes, marshal and street work,
$4,000; Pocahontas Ice d Power
Co., street lights, s79.4S; M. NJ.
Carter steel tube, So; Sallee Bros.
steel tube $3.50.
A motion was made and carried
that the Pocahontas Ice g. Power
Company he allowed to place the
extra lights wherever they see fit.
The SUIT of the city pending
against the bondsmen of former
marshal w. A. Amos was ordered
dismissed.
The ordinance providing for the
permission for any firm or corpora
tion to erect a fish dock in town
was laid on the table. The ordinance
asked that no one be allowed to sell
fresh water fish in the corporation
unless they have license from the
council
One of the most important actions
of the council was the motion made
and seconded, which carri ed with
out opposition, directing the record
er to notify j. P. Dunklin to re-
move the old shop which is located
in front of the depot and which has
been an eye sore to the citizens as
well as the travelling public for 10!
these many months. The building
was condemned by the former coun-
Gil, but it seems that the owner paid
no attention to the order. The re-
oorder is now directed to notify the
owner to remove the same after ten
days notice and if same is not done
within that time the street commit.
tee will have same removed.
Council ordered the city attorney
to draw up an ordinance prohibiting
the discharging of-fre arms IN the
corporate limits.
d. V. Cooke was appointed
chairman of the sanitary committee
and we can now expect TO see quite
number of improvements in the
looks of the streets and alleys in
