A called meeting of the City Council

some routine business of minor import

ported that the proposed electric fire
alarm could be purchased at cost of
S275. and, furthermore, that the tele-
phone company would allow the gener-
ator to be be placed in its Office, and
have the operators take charge of same.
provided, of course, that the company
would not be held responsible for mis-
takes that might occur. The new
Office for Mayor will be fitted up nicely,
as il should be, and His Honor, Mayor
Rice, will be given comfortable quarters.
The Council took a look through the
new fire department and was well
pleased with the arrangements. While
the City Dads were not extravagant in
erecting the necessary department, yet
it is nicely fitted up and the mem
bers of the department are given many
convcniences they never had before
Our people should visit the department
and see how well we are now fixed fol

Good Plan.

The past summer there has been a
good deal Of friction and some strong
feeling aroused among householders who
have no fences, and those who still cling
to the old fashioned practice, about the
chickens getting into each others prem
ises. One enterprising man has solved
the problem Of how to live in peace with
chicken-raising neighbor, even though
no fence divides him. This wise man
f,lt that as long as the chickens would
stray into his grounds and the owners
made no effort TO pen them up, that in
stead OF quarreling he might as well
profit by it. So he built a few tempting
looking nests in his tenantless hen house,
and it wasn't long before he Was the
richer by several eggs day. All sum
tmer he has had plenty OF eggs to use
and now that they are thirty cents I
dozen he feels like he has accidental,
discovered gold mine. Hafrodsburl

Courr Day.

January court day, always dull one,
was about on a par with those of former
years. The crowd was small, and the
disagreeable weather forced those who
had business in town to attend to it in a
hurry and make tall tracks for their
home firesides. The farmers have all
their work well in hand, and are greatly
encouraged over prospects for a good
year, some thinking that even better
money will be realized on some crops.
This was the consensus Of opinion of
those we talked to Monday. There was
little stock on the market, report of
which is made elsewhere in this issue
of the Climax.

Notice to Subscribers.

The post office officials at Washing

publishers, that they will be prosecuted
if papers are sent through the
mails without the subscription being
paid thereon. We make this statement
so that those in arrears for The Climax
may have notice that we are compelled
to discontinue all not paid up. We do
not desire to take any name from
our list, but when the U. S. Government
orders anything done, there's no dodg-
ing the question. it must be so. Please
look at the label on your paper and
see at once if you are behind, as the law
is positive on this point and we are not
anxious to get in trouble with Uncle
Sam. This is the last notice we can
give as delinquent names must be taken
off the list.

how, after few steps at a trot, he is

horses are not overworked when the

not properly blanketed they chill and
are more likely to colds and sickness
