Beautiful Costumes.
Owing to (he lateness ol the hour and tbs
difficulty attending getting the Informa
tion, we unintentionally omitted the names
ofCapt.C. K. Russell’s children, in report
ing Pref. Robison's ma-querudo. There
were no little girls that looked sweeter
more oharmlng, and they were costumed
beautifully. Miss Maude represented "Sy
bil, or Fortune Teller;” Mies Rosa,"Spring;
Miss Ethel, "Butterfly;" while Master Char
lie represent d a "Sailor Boy.” They
all as nice and sweet as they can be, and we
beg their pardon for skipping them, for
didu’t mean todo It. We had rather slight
grown people than children.
Complimentary to the Juveniles.
After the performance last night a party
of young gentlemen, with the Italian band
went lo tho Rankin House and gAve the
young ladles and gentlemen of Miles’ Juve
niles a complimentary hop. The party
thongh small, spent a few hours quite pl**a«-
antly. Afterwards, accomp inled with
oral of the male members of the troupe, the
gentlemen gave their lady frleuds a treat In
the way of a delightful serenade.
Opelika Munio'pal Election.
The agony Is over, no far as the municipal
eleotiou is concerned. It has been a very
heated onnvass and much money spent
both sides. It was held on the 1st, and the
following Is the result:
FOR MAYOR.
Renfroe 332
Slaughter 21B
FOR ALBKRMKN,
Fitzgerald 814
R. G. Williams 28H
Taylor 808
Iludtnou 811

Bohol* .. 224
McLemoru 205
Dunbar 284
J. H. Smith 262
J. D. Houser 203
J. C. Edwards 170
It will thus be seen that the Renfroe tick
et was eleoted throughout. J. U. Edwards
was net a candidate, but sozneof his friends
voted for him anyway.
One of the eaaiest tilings to catch,
and at the came time ono of the most
difficult to get rid of, is a cough or a
cold. Dr. Bull's Cough Syrup, how
ever, always proves equal to tho emer
gency. Price 25 cents.

We have carefully, and to the best of our

amination that we have faithful y curried
out our Instructions, In valuing each and
every separate piece of property to itself,
where It ban been possible to don. The
large Increase of the valuation is mainly
due to the enhanced value of real estate the

By Alderman Everett—
Resolve i. That the street oommlttee be
empowered to advertlsefor bids lor macad
izflsnf fifpes nt appropriate
Fifty double hydrants, an average of
ten (10) per mile, shall be place! on
these original five (5) miles of distribu
tion, making in all one hundred (100)
hoae connections. Both hydrants and
va ves to be of fir t-claas workman
ship. by manufacturers of aoknowl
edged reputation. Hydrant connec
tlons to be four (4) inches, and waier
ways of hydrants four aud one-half
inches.
8th. Reservoir.—It is propngi-d to
cons ruet a reservoir of at least 1,500.000
ga'l ns capacity. Should the increased
demand lor water or the futivegrowth
of the city require a idiiioual storage,
oilier reservoirs oau be added when
needed.
9th. Public Fountains.—The water
company will erect five public drink
ing fountains at such poin son tho line
of distribution as the council may di
rect. and wil erect one IDst-class park
fountain in tbe public park.
10th. Tbe city will be supplied for
domestic service under a gravity pres-
duo to the elevation of the reser
voir, and tins pressure will ordinarily
be ample to extinguish incipient fires.
But, for fire service, the pressure will
be derived from the height of the wat
in the stand pipe which it is designed
shall a’ways be kept full, and will bo
controlled by a valve or valves operate
ed from the engine house, and which
can be orened or closed in a motnen
of time. Tbe pumping station or en-
ginobr’s residence will be placed in
telegraphic or telephonic communica
tion with the city bell tower, and on an
alnrm being given the valves wi'l be
opened so as to give a fire pressure
the stand pipe and the pumps be
in motion to keep up a constant
and equal fire pressure until the signal
is given that the fire is extinguished
wh^n the pumping can cease and the
usual domestic pres-ure resumed. In
order that no time may be lost in start
ing the pumps, the fires under the
boilers will be kept up con
srantly, day and Dight, so that
the water in the stand pipe shall
not be lowered during tbe existence of
the fire. The pressure Urns given from
the stand pip^ will make the lire by
drants with their hundred hose con
nections as efficient as a steam fire cn
gine, with the advantage that the fire
hydrants can be brought into itntnedi
ate service by attaching t he hose and
turning on the water. This arrange
ment will give a complete aud reliable
fire protection.
SOURCE OF SUPPLY.
The source of supply is yet unde
termined, but frem investigations al
ready made no fear is entertained of
any failure to obtain one that will prove
satisfactory both as to quality ami
amount. The right would be reserved
to make a test ef «n artesian source be
fore making a final decision, but in
any event it is believed that, a guaran
tee can be given both as to quality and
amount adequate to meet tbe wants of
Columbus fur all future time,
FRANCHISE,
The city is asked to give a franchise
for the exclusive privilege of main
taining and operating tho works for
the period of thirty years, or untilsuch
time as they may be purchased by the

equal to four thousand dollars ($4,000)

Upon execution of a contract be

By Alderman Brooks —
Wheieas, from tbe rapid growth of our
city, la population and wealth, It is very
evident that the time has arrived when it
nil Important that an ample supply of
good, pure water should be obtained not
only for the private consumption of its
citizens, but for tho betler protection of
property also; and a< we fully believe th
very la • majority oi ( ur citizens are not
ly in tavor of them, but are hopeful that
an early period a system will be adopted
that will fully meet their wants and neces
sities.
There'ore be it resolved, That we are very
favorab y impressed with the proposition

A resolution was introduced by Alderman
Sohues9ler making it. unlawful for any per-
son to remove sand from the ditch near

what pi

he would adopt in the erection

mend that the distribution of water be
made on the gravitation plan, b-lng, in our
Judgment, preferable to any other.
^eso ved, That said contract,when drawn
up, be submitted to oounoil for approval
belore its final ratification.
After accepting the amendment request
ing Mr. John Hill and W. R. Brown to act
with the committee, the resolutions were
adopted.
Alderman Murdooh wanted the commit
tee in drawing up the contract to ascertain
whether water pipes would be laid onerous
streets, or at'eets running east and west.
He said this was very necessary for benefit
of private families.
Alderman DeWolf didn’t like the nse of
the word "adont” in the re'Oluiion, and
thought consider would be better, as the
city would then not be bound to accept the
plan of Mr. Wilkins.
Mayor Wilkins stated he had mverseen
fairer prop >sltion, but by adopting It the
city wi>8 bound to take Mr. Wilkins’ plan.
This wou d be decided when tbe committee
should draw up the contract.
Alderman Manley—We still have the
right to reject or accept his plan. The

Dr. E. 8. Lyndon: Dear Sir—We

kin A Lamar, of Atlanta, some of your
Worm Oil, and it is so far superior to
anything we have ever seen, that in
future we will have no other kind in
store. We have been selling Worm
Medicines for quite a number of years,
and cau say (as will our customers) that
your Worm Oil is more effectual than
anything we have ever sold. Should
you wish testimonials, we will send
them to you from our best citizens.
This letter is unsolicited by auy one,
and is written solely to commend you
for getting up a good thing. *
Yours truly,

A Blown Town Merchant.
Having passed several sleepless
nights, disturbed by the agonies aad
cries of a suffering child, and becom
ing convinced that Mrs. Winslow's
Soothing Syrup was just the article
needed, procured a supply for the child.
On reaching home aud acquainting his
wife with what he had done, she re
fused to have it administered to the
child, as she was strongly in favor of
Homoeopathy. That nnrht the child
passed in suffering, and the parents
without sleep. Returning home the
day following, the father found the
baby still worse; and while contem
plating another sleepless night, the
mother stepped from the room to at-
tnud to some domestic duties, and left
the father with the child. Duriug her
absence he administered a portion of
the Soothing Syrup to tbe baby, aud
said nothing. That night all hands
slept well, and the little fellow awoke
in the morning bright and happy. The
mother was delighted with the sudden
and wondHrfui change, and although
at tiest offended at the deception prac
ticed upon her, has continued to use
the Syrup, and suffering crying babies
and restless nights have disappeared.
A single trial of the Syrup never yet
failed to relieve the baby, and over
come the prejudices of the mother.
