speaking, the old city council re-
organized by the election of officers
and two new members. after a ses-
sion full of mild sensations that have
been the talk of the town ever since.
The surprise of the proceedings was
the elimination of Mr.. w. L. Jones.
whom it was taken for granted would
surely be chosen to a seat in the
body Councilman Jones. acting |
president. called the meeting to or
der, others present being Messrs. |
Spencer. Walden and Wolfe.
To make the account of the pro
ceedings more easily understood by
those not present. it should be stated
that the Council held a caucus the
evening previous at which time the
tentative selection of two new mem
bers and the officers for the ensuing
year was made. This has been the
custom of past city councils, the
object being TO expedite matters and
to avoid any personalities in the
council chamber. As the council
men assembled for the caucus, or
during the afternoon. Mr.. w. L.
Jones, who was duly nominated for
the council by the Democrats Of
Williamsburg. told each member,
according 10 their statement. that
under no circumstance" woUld he
serve as a councilman. and that he
should not be considered a candidate
for the office. According 10 the IN
diyidual members. they urged him
not TO take this position but to &C
cept an election. as it was the rGT.
pose of the council to elect him
But Mr.. Jones was immovable snC
discouraged any talk of his election
as contemplated by his constituents
and friends. Ii appears that Mr.
Jones gave up the idea of serviLl
on the council, because he had be
come a candidate for city sudito
and clerk which pays q salary o
$500. In this particular he wa
given no encouragement. Mr.. Savag
being candidate for reelection.
Therefore. when the council eau
cussed they had no other alternstiv
than to choose a new man fo- tn
position that Mr.. Jones was expect
ed to take on the new council. Ac
cording to members. they selecte

T. Christian from down town. !
order TO distribute the councilme
about as much as possible. Nj
Wolfe was chosen as president I
succeed President Lane. who wOul
resign at the meeting. +. K. Savage
as clerk and auditor. and DR.. d.
King as health officer. This Pre-
gramme was finally ratified at Ii
subsequent meeting on Friday nigh
but not until things became war
and the situation at times tense.
Coming back to the council NEE
ing Friday night, the resignation
Capt. Lane was read and the cou
Gil expressed regrets at parting Wi
an old and faithful official, who hs
served his city to the best of b
ability for so many years. NJ
Wolfe then nominated Mr. Case
and he was unanimously elected

AT this juncture, Clerk Savs
read the formal resignation of N
II. D. Cole. and there were ma
expressions of regret when the sar
was accepted. The clerk then re
