That the remaining members of council bear testimony to the fact that ’Messrs. J. IT. Williams and E. D.

Both resolutions were unanimously adopted, and Mayor Price made & speech in which he thanked the retiring members for the kindness shown ilim and ended up by saying that he was for Macon, first, last, and all the time.

Aiderman Morgan moved for adjourn ment and the motion was carried. Just as the members were leaving their seats Clerk Smith requested them to keep their seats for a few minutes. The mayor then announced, stating at the time that he had forgotten to mention it, as he had not been hungry in a month, that a love feast was in store for the council and that if they would keep their seats it would be brought in. The hall was cleared of visitors with the exception of the newspaper men who were allowed to remain by a unanimous vote. The barbecue, salads and “other things” were then brought in and ’Clerk Smith was deputized to act as steward. In a few minutes everybody had a full plate and' was busy at work, when Mayor Price arose and made a speech. He said that he had never before, in his career as mayor, seen a body of men so united and that he hoped the present council would be as the one of teh past had been. He commended Aidermen (Williams and Huthnance for their good work and expressed a good feel ing for every member of the council. Aiderman Pearson then proposed a toast to Mayor Price which was responded to by all of the members. Aiderman Williams then made a speech, in which he again thanked the mayor for the courtesies shown him. He was fol lowed by Aiderman Huthnance, who made a few appropriate remarks. After all the aidermen had been heard from the members dispersed, saying that it was the best meeting that had ever teen held in the council chamber. LETTER TO SANTA CLAUS.
