I notice that Peters street all the way to the Macon Railroad crossing is being paved. Deca tur street almost as far as West Point depot, sod Peachtree street I really don’t know how far, but it's a good way out. Is it because the members from thoee Wards work harder, or have more influence in the Council ? I thought when we got such men as McDuffie and Goldsmith in from our Ward that they would do something. If you esn’t answer my inquiries, cul them out. I am satisfied that it ia not for the want of being good looking, for as a pair they are as fine looking gentlemen as any in the Council.
