Okolona is a good town and has
been on the map Of the State for
many a day, yet, for a stranger to
pick up a copy Of the only local paper
The Messenger, he would think the
town entirely destitute of LAYERS and
with a few business men. Usually,
the first thing a man does when he is
looking for a location in a town is to
secure a copy of the local paper, and
from hat he forms his opinion Of the
town. Were this community judged
by this standard it could but suffer
loss thereby, for patent medicine
firms constitute the chief advertising
patrons of the paper; hence, the town
would be considered a poor business

America to Send TrOOpS.

Washington, Nov. 15.--The State
department has practically decided TO
send a regiment Of troops from Ma
Mia to Ching Wing Tao. a seaport in
China about $50 miles from Peking.
on the Gulf Of Pechili. The purpose
is to perform an International duty
under the Boxer treaty in keeping
open the line Of communication be-
tween Peking and the sea.
1t was said at the state department
that request for the troops had not
yet been made on the war depart
ment. but was momentarily expected.
The officials were careful to make il
appear that the dispatch OF these
troops to China would be absolutely
without any political meaning, and
the movement was not TO be con-
strued as Intervention.

voted on and resulted In tie, Alder
men Wright. Booth. Cuttino and Nc
Laurin being for it and McKeiver
Glenn, Rhame and Wilder being op-
posed to it. The Mayor broke the
tie in favor Of the purchase of the

Mr.. Glenn here rose to a question
OF personal privilege. He stated that
he was glad that Council had at last
ordered the purchase Of something
for the fire department. He had
been laughed at ever since he had
been on Council by other members,
whe ever he suggested the purchase
OF apparatus for the fire department,
and now at last he had got something
that he had not asked for. The May
or stated that it was due to Mr.
Glenn's insistence that something be
done in the way of securing appa-
ratuS Tor the flre department that the
present step had been taken. Both
Mr.. McLaurin and Mr.. Booth en-
dorsed this statement, one of whom
remarked that Mr.. Glenn had won
victory after all. for he had got
something for the department. Mr..
Glenn retorted that it was a very dear
victory at that
Mr.. Wilder stated that man was
needed to run the steamer and he
thought that 1t would be good thing
to get such a man who should be
foreman at the department headquar-
ters and In charge OF the place. He
also asked that Council and others
not judge what the fire department
was going to do i'm the future when
II had apparatus by what they had
done In the past when the department
did not have apparatus.

The bill specifically defines lust

punishment for violation of the law
Imprisonment from two to ten years.

conferring with Representative Cay

judiciary committee, and other DEM

declared that actual imprisonment OF

room for controversy.

THAT is, the bill 7egisIates the-trulo
