DO NOT WASTE THE
CITY WATER

You do not waste your cister water
this dry weather do you? We would
judge not. Well the city's supply of
water is not inexhaustable. and while
there is goodly amount in the lake.
more than is usually there at this period
of the year. yet if it continues to be
taxed as 1t has been, unless we have
copious rains in the near future, we
are liable to again face water famine.
In the event it gets too low, the water
would be cut off and saved for
emergencies, fires etc. This would
work a hardship on the majority of the
citizens, and the best way to avoid this
hardship is to use the water as
economically as possible and try to
make the amount hold out until the
fall rains.
Now that the streets are oiled, there
is no necessity for sprinkling them, in
fact it is detrimental to the oiled streets
to sprinkle them, and the cessation of
so much sprinkling should materially
curtail the amount of water used, and
if we will be careful of our supply,
there will be ample for all purposes.

John Watson, a star member of Ian

held IN the sum of $3.50. to await the
action of the grand jury on a charge
of Incorporating corn and oats.
John occasionally drove the city cart
and cared for the horse, while serving
in this capicty he went to the Garrard
Milling Co. and bought one barrel of
corn and bushels of oats and had it
charged to the city. This was a
duplicate OF an order ne purchased in
like manner on June 18th, and the
frequency of his orders aroused the
suspicion of Councilman Gregory, who
is a member of the firm from who the
purchases were made. and he started
an investigation. John when called
upon to explain, said that after getting
the last order he realized that he was
purchasing too much and took part of
1t back to the mill. leaving it upon the
platform. He was taken before Judge
Arnold and this explanation did not
prove satisfactory to his Honor, and

PURCHASES TWIN LEAF
FOR GOLDEN SEAL.

Mr.. H. G. Bailey the senior member
of the well known local firm of Bailey
& Lewis, produce dealers, recently pur-
chased large consignment of what
was represented to him to be, and what
he believed to be yellow root. Now
genuine yellow root, or golden seal is
worth 300 per pound, but ''twin leaf I
or species of the dock family, which
very much resembles it. is worth only
as many cents per pound, and not in
demand at that price. The purchase
made by Mr.. Bailey proved to be twin
leaf, causing discrepancy of $2.47
per pound as against Mr.. Bailey, be-
tween the actual value of the commcd-
ity and what he paid for it. His bad
firm to whom he had shipped it in Gin
cinnati, parcel post insured. value S35.,
had returned it to him with the infor
nation that it was twin leaf" and not
golden seal.
The party who sold it to Mr.. Bailey
at first claimed that he sold it for vel
low root, and did not claim it was ''the
medicine yellow root, and that the roots
he sold were actually yellow" which
statement could not be denied. How
ever, rather than go to law they settled
the matter amicably with a small loss
to Mr.. Bailey.
