saloon Boundary Again

Mayor Beck oIally presented to the council the petition of T. H. Ashby, proprietor of the Opera Bar. for a per init to move its saloon from Second and Seward Streets. to the Forrest building. a block from the City wharf in Front street. The mayor explain ed that one of Mir. Ashby's reasons for wanting to move was the realiza- tion ehat the present location oi the bar was too close to the Dream thea tre for the theatres good, and that it should be located where children do not congregate Mir. Ashby was present He told the council that the Dream theatre wished to enlarge its lobby. to take in the space now occupied by the saloon. and he thought. in the interests Of good busi- ness. that the removal of the bar would benefit not only Che theatre and himself, but the city.
 Mayor Reck explained that the court had desired the councils yer diet on the petition to the transfer of the Opera Bar to another location before he acted on it, and Councilman Willis pointed out that Judge Jen- nings would not consider the petition until the council had taken action.
 Councilman Geddes said he would oppose any action of the council that would extend the dead line" for saloons. established at Ferry Way several years ago. He maintained that others would want their saloons moved down toward the City Dock, and he thought there was no gooo reason why the Council should ex- tend the line Councilman Wolland said he was ready "now or at any time. to vote on this question" CT see no reason why saloons should not be established at any place on the waterfront" he declared.

MEETING AT LESLIE

The thriving, city-loving, progress
i've citizens of Leslie, the growing town
of southeast Sumter county, have an
nounced that a monster meeting will
be held there on Friday, September
10th.
The program has been announced,
and with the array of speakers pre-
scented, the occasion will undoubtedly
be one of benefit and pleasure.
This is an illustration of what a
place can do if the people are united;
seeking common end, with their OWE
city as the objective.
To rise above the crossroads of a
one-horse village, cooperation above
everything is first, last and always
necessary. Great things do not spring
from single move by single man.
The petty quibblings of city torl
by local strife bespeaks Incidence;
selfishness and ignorance. 1t is an UNI
pardonable sin, and always made
painfully evident
A few prominent and influential cit
liens of Leslie assured the financial
of a mammouth barbecue This
was done because their city; their
home; their first love, was concerned
And with the rapid pace which Les
lie has set for other sections of Sum
ter county and this section of the
state, it is readily apparent that she
will grow by leaps and bounds into q
rising South Georgia city of culture,
progress and industry.

Mr.. Weltner, who is professor OF

Mr. Troutman, for similar reasons,

The people of Leslie have shown a
magnificent spirit in the monster meet
ing which will be held at that thriv-

arranged for an all-day get-together'
meeting. Much good will come from
the celebration, and Leslie has already
begun strides directly in line with the
march of progress.

love ME, LOVE MY DOG."

There are very few men but who
have been boys, and as boys they cher
ished affection for NANCY pup. One
of the most appealing pictures which
can present itself to any ones mind IS
the fellowship between a child and his
dog. The following prayer by Walter
Dryer will speak the sentiments of
many one who has been in his
place:
Great God of Dogs: Seated on thy
royal throne in the high heavens,
where rudy Sirius flames; with all
thy angel pack about thee, running to
do thy bidding-S st. Bernard, and all
the other canine saints, collies, settlers,
mastiffs and great danes, dogs who
gained heaven through much loving
and profound devotion, a noble brood,
heroes of flame and flood
Great God OF Dogs, look down and
hear my humble prayer.
Outside the portals this gray morn
little stranger waits, an Airdale ter
rier, nine months old, big-footed,
awkward-limbed, rough-coated, with
stubby tail held high, wagging rapidly
ears cooked and brown eyes full of in
nocent inquiry and panied surprise at
his strange plight, pleading humbly for
admittance.
That's Dusty Rhodes. He died last
night in undersigned pain. His little
spirit passed beyond our ken. No
more our door is opened to his plain
tive whine. Great God of Dogs. l pray
thee, let him in.
And if he cannot read his title clear
| to kennels in the skies, | pray thee
grant him mercy. If his record thou
dost read much mischief and somr
disobedience, forget not his DISPOSE
/ ton; no trace of viciousness did dark.
/ en- his young life, no evil mood, no,
/ any least resentment. He leased our
cat, but it was only play: he woulc
have loved him like a brother if he
could, And if one such and such g
day he misbehaved and needed not the
bidding of his mistress, on that sam,
day he licked the Christening ham, an
all was soon forgiven and forgot.
| There be no deeds of valor to rec.
ord; but he was young He came OF
noble lineage; his little heart was
true. Be merciful, pray, and let hin
in.
His little collar hangs upon nail
and cen the little whip, the sight OF
which chastises US today. Re has nc
home. We cannot bear that he should
wander there in outer darkness, I'M
patted and unbeloved. Is there nc
place in all-wide heaven for him? Is
there no loving hand to take his prof
fered paw? pray thee, let him in.
Great God of Dogs, outside thy
pearly gates this little stranger stands
and hags the simplest boon. He only
asks for some one he may love. Great
God of Dogs, wilt thou not take him
in ?"-Macon Telegraph.

No one is obliged to live where he
is not suited If one hasn't an en-
