u. w. Glass, weighed 355 pounds,

Absence of Members From the City
Prevented u Quorum.

Tuesday night was the time for
the regular meeting of the city coun-

quorum. Aldermen Davidson, Mar

the presence of the mayor and four
aldermen to make a quorum no bust

A special meeting of the council
will be called by Mayor Bell for Au-
