Charge No Quorum.

Pandemonium reigned after the an nouncement, the radicals, socialists and communists yelling in chorus: No quorum; no quorum"
 Comparative calm finally was es- tablished, permitting Poincare to ex- plain that the reduced vote was due to the fact that many members had left the chamber, tired out by the all day discussion of the amendments, in the course of which the communists and socialists view with one another in obstructive tactics.
 The president of the chamber de- clared that a quorum had been at tained and that the motion was re- jected; whereupon the chamber ad- journed.

Will Beautify Town

While Mrs. T. H. Simpson was
here last week, she approved the
plans of Sculptor Hbbard, who de-
signed the doughboy monument at
the head of Main street, for the fin
ishing of the grounds and surround
ings. This will mean that three
concrete posts will be placed in
triangular form about the monu-
ment, and the grow 4S3e surrounding
be Sown to grass, and put in park
style condition. The large boulder
from the Gettysburg battlefield,
which was sent here by Mr. Simp-
son, on which it was thought at first
that the Civil war monument on the
square would rest, is to be put in
front of the court house where the
first doughboy stood 1t is the plan
to drill hole through the stone and
place in it the flag pole Mr.. Simpson
sent here several years ago, and
which was erected in the center of
the public square. Snubbing posts
are also to be erected about the Civil
war monument on the square
The concrete light posts put up
the school house walk by the Civics
club, have been given to the town,
and we learn that Mr.. Earle Eveland
and Mr.. Jno. ID. Erwin are each to
contribute like post, making eight
in all that will be placed about the
square. This arrangement will re-
move the present unsightly wooden
poles, and will also do away with
overhead wiring, since the lighting
cable to the new posts will be run
under ground.
1t is hoped that these improve
ments will all be completed early
this summer, and when finished they
will add much to the beauty Of the
place.
