City Council.
Holds its Regular Monthly
Meeting Last Thursday.
All Present

There was full membership of the |
City council present last Thursday
evening at the regular monthly meeting
with Mayor Rice in the chair.
Two or three very important subjects
were taken up and disposed Of. the
principal of which was procuring oil
for the streets Of the city at
once and the collecting of funds to help
defray this expense. The committee
appointed 70 handle this matter report
ed that many residents on Lancaster
Ave, West Main and other streets Of
the city were anxious to contribute to
this fund. The oil has been purchased
and it is hoped the work can be begun
no later than the latter part
of this week. Mayor Rice is. pushing
things SOFAS to avoid any unnecessary
delay
Another subject Of much importance
was the condition of several sew erage
runs, scattered in diffrent parts of the
city, and this matter will be looked
into at once. Now that the hot weather
is here, the health Of the city is para
mount and an epidemic of typhoid is a
difficult thing 10 stay, once it gets a
start and nothing contributes more
toward bringing about this than bad
sewerage. IAN ounce of prevention is
worth pound of cure. is the old adage
which will prevail with the Mayor and
Council in the handling of this matter.
An ordinance prohibiting the running
of traction engines, hauling heavy
freight thru the streets of the city was
passed. Recently these machines have
wrought great damage TO the crossings
and throughfares Of the city. There is
already an ordnance regulating the
passing thru of traction engines and
threshing machines.
An ordinance was passed prohibiting
the scaling of the fence at the ball park
peeping thru the cracks or in any way in
truding on the grounds Of Base Ball
Association. The club has experienced
a great deal Of trouble of late from,
not lonly small boys but many older
ones. who make the daily life Of the
guard at the park laborious one. A
fine Of from one to five dollars is the
penalty
The residents Of Woodland Ave, filed
a complaint with the council concern
ing the sidewalks, VIII &c h t h e }
claim we're put down by new residents
and which are five feet out of line
The matter was referred to the
proper committee.
A motion to widen Smith-Ballard
street from Main 70 a point about two
hundred yards south, .yas defeated
because the treasury was short Of funds
and condemnation proceedings would
draw heavily on the city exchequer a
this time.
On behalf Of several residents Of Fiftl
street, Attorney Jones asked that
reconstruction Of that street be made
and that the residents were willing T.
contribute to aid the city in the work
The matter was passed and viii b
decided on at the next meeting
An adjourned meeting will be tomor

important business.

Holly Rollers
have been in the thrOeS of a
wonderful meeting at
Big Hill.

The peculiar religious sect, known as
the Holly Rollers have been holding
forth in great style at Big Hill for the
past two weeks and reports from there
are to the effect that wonderful con
victions have resulted. The Holy Roll
ers draw away from any established
church and have their own ministers,
They meet at seven in the evening and
continue praying and singing until mid
night. A peculiar thing about their
religion is that at a certain time during
the worship the Lord IS supposed TO
visit them and violently strike their
speech. During this short period only
cultural sounds can be emitted.
There we're many converts az this last
meeting and the lamentations Of those

School Census
for the county has just been
completed and filed with
the County Clerk.

Superintendent Of County Schools,
Hon. John holland, has Just received
from the trustees Of sub districts Of the
white and colored schools, the total
census of the school children of the
county. between the ages of six and
twenty. The number shows a gain Of
four from the list last year of white
children and a falling off of twenty-five
from the eolored lists.
The following is by Educational diyi-
sions beginning at No. which COM
prises the Union section. In this there
are s04 white and POP colored children.
No. 2. Brassfeld. Kingston and
Speedwen sections sO7 white and 1s4
colored.
No 3, Red Lick and Berea l, 80 white
and 15S colored. OF this number there
are 500 white and n in Berea alone.
No. 4, WalIacetOn, Paint Lick and
High Point sections with Whites Station
90 white and AIS colored.
No. 5, Poosey and Jolly Ridge 1,O3l
white and y cOlored.
No. 6, Valley View, Red House and
Foxtown Ridge 95S white and 364 color
ed. This shows a total Of 5, $50; a gain
of four over last year of the white
children, 1880 are male and $50 are
female. OF the colored children there
are 773 male and 677 female.
It is noticeable that in the past ten
years the number of colored children
has been on a steady decline.
In 19O0there were 1924. in 1906 there
were 1908. Last year there were l, Az
and this yeai it dropped to l,45O. The
cause assigned for this is that the
negroes are gradually moving away
from the country to the cities and also
to the larger cities in other states, most
ly northern.
In the city Of Richmond the census
shows OH white and GA colored chill
dren. Ten years ago there were $50
whites and 6s6 colored, showing a de-
crease In the colored list Of p for that
period. This is remarkable when it is
known that the colored population are
very much antagOnistie to race suicide.
