SEVERAL MATTERS BEFORE THE
BODY ON TUESDAY NIGHT.

Rent OF Sewer Space Was Refused.
Automobiles Mentioned Again.


Automobiles Mentioned Again.
The city council held it's regular
monthly meeting Tuesday night. The
mayor and all of the councilmen eX-
cept j. P. Perry were present, and
several matters of more or less i'm
portance claimed the attention of
the body.
The first question discussed was
the matter of disposing of the armo-
ry. The building committee of the
council was instructed to confer with
the board of commissioners of Ter
rell county, which owns the armory
Jointly with the city, with view of
selling the building, and if that is
not deemed advisable to have it re-
paired.
1t was stated that Mr.. R. d. Smith
proposed to erect a residence on the
southeast corner of the Kendrick lot
if the city would extend the sanitary
sewer up Ninth avenue. The matter
was referred to the street committee
and superintendent for investigation
as to the cost of extending the sewer.
After Automobiles Again.
| Then the ever-present question Of
the automobiles came up for discus
sion, and the police were again in
structed to rigidly enforce the city
ordinances respecting the speed OF
the machines and use of muftiers on
them. The man with the stop-watch
may already be on the job again.
The question of passing on the ap-
plication of the Cooperative Tele-
phone Co. came up for consideration,
but at the request of r. r. Marlin,
attorney for the company, the mat
ter was continued until the October
meeting of the council.
Mr.. Allen Wanted 81, 200.
Mr.. C. S. Allen, manager, present.
ed bill for $1,000 for the alleged
use of a vacant lot for surface sewer
purposes. Payment of the bill was
refused on the ground that the city
is not liable. The sewer in question
is one which crosses a small lot in
the rear of the Bank of Dawson,
and has been in use for Is or ~
years.
1t was ordered that the Central
railroad authorities be notified that
they must arrange for taking care OF
the water which empties from sew
er on Main street and runs into
ditch between the two wholesale gro
Gerry houses.
A petition was read from citizens
on North Main street asking that
the street and sidewalks from Ninth
avenue to the Central railroad be put
in good condition.
The Gulf Refining Co. was granted
the permission of the city to erect
oil tanks on the right-of-way Of the
Seaboard railroad near the depot.

Dear Sisters of the Friendship
Association: The annual meeting of
our Missionary Union will be held
with the sisters of the Dawson church
from October 8th to the 18th, and we
are preparing for great meeting.
The superintendent and executive
committee feel that our Union is at
critical point, and are looking to
this meeting to be the beginning of
greater things for the woman's work
in the association. For the past six
years we have had this annual meet
ing for the mutual good of the work
and workers, but while the intellect
ual and spiritual feast has grown bet
ter each year so few CT our women
have taken advantage OF the good
things prepared for them that the
work has not grown as 1t should.
Sister. if you are doing so well in
your local work that you don't need
help come and help others; if you are
discouraged by want of knowledge
and conditions come and get help.
Dawson is a delightful, hospitable
place, and the sisters there are plan
ming and preparing for crowd. The
superintendent is arranging a splen-
did program which will be help to
every woman in the association. DIR.
Burrows is to give one of his splen-
did addresses. Mrs. Cough, a state
worker, is to be with us, and one OF
the returned missionaries will preach
the missionary sermon and tell OF
his work and conditions on the field.
Any one of these attractions is we'll
worth the trip We want one or two
from every church in our assocfa-
tiOn-more if they will come. Can
not your church do this much to
make this meeting a success? Meet
us in Dawson the afternoon of Oc-
tober 8th."
