CITY AFFAIRS GIVE
BOARD BUSY meeting
DR.. Miles Elected on Shoot Board
Chicken Law.

Chicken Law.
Quite an interesting meeting Of
the Board Of Mayor and Aldermen
was held at the Office of the Re
corder last Tuesday night.
There were several matters of
more than usual importance taken
up, and among the firse were esti-
mates of the cost of a new pump at
the Water and Light Plant and an
other deep well. Prices on pumps
of 100000 gallons capacity had al
ready been submitted, one type at
$3,725 and another at $4,250. An
other deep well is estimated to cost
$4,000, but the whole proposition
was deferred until the finance COM
mittee, charged with making a
statement of the city finances, can
report.
The proposition for a new dump
ing ground for the sanitary. con-
tractor was disposed of by imposing
upon each citizen the responsibility
of taking care of his own trash and
to furnish his own dumping grounds
for that purpose.
Petition from w. H. Harris and
others was presented asking the
board to refund the cost of a sewer
on Home street south, which was
put in according to city specifica-
tions, but without an order from the
city or its consent that an appropri-
alton should be made for additional
sewerage. The board rejected the
petition on the grounds that no ex-
ception could be made in the case.
In accordance with arrangements
made few weeks ago to buy oil for
the White Way streets of Union
City, the Mayor announced that a
tank of 1900 gallons of oil had ar
rived and was ready for use. An
order was made for the work to be-
gin and on Wednesday the city
force began on First street, with the
aid and help of the proper advice
about the work. 1t was estimated
that the White Way district would
take 5000 gallons, and the board
decided to use the balance on an ex-
tension of these streets as far as pos
sible, provided that the adjacent
property owners made the right sort
of arrangements of transferring the
money paid for sprinkling towards
oiling.

lderson Business College, whose
friends and admirers here are legion
las Washington Irving would say
made a ''tall" address. It was in
its entirety very finished product.
We give you three main points
stressed by this able speaker. He
deplored rough games of which we
presume, excluding pugilism, foot
ball leads, that are so apt to develop
brutality, quality so remote from
the refinement and the poise we
should have for the carrying out Of
Gods plans. Mr.. Hardaman said the
environment Of a school, churches
and libraries indicated towns ca
pacity intellectually and that in
churches and building for housing
our school we would pass. The
point in climax was plea for the
book of books, the Bible, to be
placed in the curriculum. That
Johnny's parents, who, il a few les
sons in grammar should occur, would
make complaint, could also see the
error of any school in not at all
times putting on fight against
turning out skeptics.
Supt. c. l.. Rulings spoke briefly
felicitating the building committee,
the town and as 1.-THE mclean man"
also shook hands with himself, say
ing that in the ups and downs of
a superintendent it was not often so
handsome building was achieved
as ours.
All the good things of the after
noon cannot be told but we would
not and must not leave out our
home people. Hon. T. J. Bonner in
an impromtu address pictured the
growth of our burg from the early
times when only two buildings were
here. We consider Rives far from
being a city, it was small indeed
then. We are glad that such men
as Mr.. Bonner, T. B. Moffat, DR..
Wright and Waller Caldwell were
| pioneer settlers-a school house of
hewn logs was put up, which in the
course of time was replaced and so
on to the present building.
In the call by the Mayor for fif-
teen minute talks by anyone in the
audience, Prof. Hays responded in
behalf of the faculty and pupils.
w. j. Caldwell added to the feast
of the afternoon in resume of our
progress, stating that he helped to
build the log school house and was
proud indeed of the present edifice.
Mr. Caldwell made plea for the re-
mote districts to have better educa-
tional advantages, a complete aboli-
ton of the one teacher three and
six months school, in plain words for
consolidation of schools as means
to this termination.
Music rendered by Misses Florence
Bolts, Aletha Bonner and Mrs
Knox Harper was pleasurable
feature of the program.

Scratching Hens.

The scratching hen is the laying hen.
In the spring they dig early and late
and they lay. In the winter they sit
around moping. They become bilious
and lazy because they get no exercise
and once bilious they seldom recover
until spring. And they are an easy
prey to cholera and other diseases. B.
