 to its fathers. The tottering and aged \ institution has pronounced a loving
 eulogy and bestowed many a super

 A United States observation balloon, in charge of four officers from the naval station at Pensacola, landed near Green vile Saturday afternoon after having made an endurance trip from that sta tion.

i neer or the commissioner of public im- provements. Who is incompetent for his job? The man who advised the grand jury about streets, or the com missioner of streets?
 The statement that any money of the city was wasted by sale of old ma- chinery Is incorrect, unfounded, and maliciously false. The statement that the city has abandoned machinery In the working of the streets is untrue and slanderous.
 The north west and east highway have bad foundation under them. Why did not the grand jury investigate that 1 matter and locate the trouble? Is there anybody connected with the grand jury l that sells stuff to the county? The ansVer to that question might point moral or adorn a tale. There were called before the grand jury physicians contractors. truck drivers, firemen plumbing inspectors, chauffeurs and l citizens to prove what everybody knew 1 alerady, before the present commission CTS went into office. that the streets many of them, were in a bad ccadi tion and had been for long time. This ! bad condition of streets needed nc proof, because it was matter of pub. { lie notoriety.
