Board Of Mayor and Aldermen.


The regular meeting Of the board was
held last Tuesday night, with few spe-
cial items in the way of Sunday closing
and cleaning up.
The Mayor produced the laws with
reference to Sunday closing, and gave
bis opinion on the subject, which is to
the effect that business of all kinds
should be discontinued on Sunday with
the exception of drug stores and res
taurants, and in these the law prohibits
the sale of goods in packages. But a
customer may be served with meals and
drinks, either hot or cold, not includ-
ing, of course, anything of an intoxi-
eating nature. The Mayor recon-
mended the reading of the lay by the
merchants and business men so that all
may be posted on the subject. This,
however, was his Interpretation of the
law as it has been applied in the State,
and the board agreed with him.
Mr.. White reported on the sanitary
condition of the city and number of
nuisances. He found that some sew
age was being emptied and had been
drained towards the crossing on Harri-
son street, where it was creating bad
odor and communicating the air and the
surroundings. Several citizens had been
ignoring the order to cut the weeds on
their premises. Others were violating
sanitary regulations, and preparations
were made to enforce these ordinances
at once
A committee from the Business Mems
Club asked for flat rate on COM
mercial or independent circuit along
the principal business streets for cleo
trio signs and display purposes, in order
to better illuminate the street.
The Superintendent of the Water and
Light plant suggested that the plant
was about loaded and was not ready to
AXE care of surplus of lights. Sew
sral of the aldermen thought the lights
should be furnished as per request and
hat if the plant was loaded or about
oaded it should be enlarged. The Mayor
opposed the extension of lights on the
grounds that the city was about to enter
IN a general system of concrete walk
A committee, however, was
ppointed to investigate the matter, in
luding the names of DR.. Blanton, Mr..
'arks and Mr.. White.
A petition was read from Mr.. Dob
ms, asking for an extension of the
treet running south to point east of
ne residence of his sister, Mrs. Ella

In Memory of Mr.. ]. M. Moore.

Mr.. J. M. Moore, our county sur
yeyor, whose death occurred Sunday
morning, June 16, 1912, has caused
the hearts of thousands of people to be
sad over the loss of such good man.
He was indeed and in truth an excep-
ton. He not only tried to be good
himself but took extreme delight in
helping others to do right. He believed
in doing unto others as he wished to
be done by, and followed this rule closer
than any man l ever knew.
Jim was a graduate Of Davidson Col
lege, North Carolina, also a grad
uate of the Lebanon Law School. Many
times have I known him to have some
of the hardest problems in geometry to
solve when he wouldbe holding the in
stitutes, and not one in the schoolbook
he could not solve. He was always
pleased when in the schoolroom and
took great interest in his pupils.
