the CITY SETTLES
WITH MR. BROWN.
Sewers Will Empty on His
Land. City Pays
$590 to Him.
The question ns to where the
( itv sewer will empty 1ms been
definitely settled and that much
of the problem, at least, will not
worry the city oflicials any longer.
For n consideration of five hun
dred dollars Mr. Lawson E. Brown
lias agreed to make a deed to the
eitv to a strip of land on either
side of and the stream from the'
confluence of the small branch on
.,,ath side of the tan yard branch
to the confluence of the small
branch on tho north side of said
stream, Mr. Brown also to grant
tiie privilege of erecting the .>c\\or
over his land to the point desig
nated and to empty the sewer just
below said small branch, the city
agreeing also to build wire fence
on jbotli sides of the st ream be-
twvfit tho points indicated.
L is thought by this ngivemynt
and settlement that the city au
thorities will be uble soon to put
the sewerage system in operation
and t he people uro.grently'pleased
with the prospect.
It is understood that other par
ties formerly claimed they would
be damaged, but it is not known
whether these claims will be fur
ther pressed.
The above agreement, was reach
ed with Mr. Brown at tho last
meeting of the mayor and council.

PROHIBITION BILL
PASSES THE HOUSE.
Alabama Legislature Fa=
vors Prohibition After
October ist Next.
For many years this city has
been known as Solid Samlersville
and the fact that it is one of the
best and most sol id business towns
in Georgia has never been more
forcibly demonstrated than during
the past few week when uncer
tainty and uneasiness has prevail
ed in business in some other
places. i
The batiks of the county all have
ample funds in their vaults and
are not afraid of the cries of panic.
As a sample of the eond^tinjis
prevailing, the First National
Bank publishes today a regular
statement m>t only showing the
largest volume of bu-itn ss ju it*
history, but astoroof funds in its
vaults and in banks eqtlrfK trt ’any
sum ever carried by it and a large
cash balance indeed.
While the statements of other
banks are not before us, we under
stand that all the banks of the
county are abundantly supplied
with actual cash and large depos
its and that they are fully prepar
ed to take care of all the business
of the county.

Embarrassing.
Some little while ago a popumt*
writer visited a jail in order to
take notes tor.a magazine article
on prison life. On returning home
he described the horrors he had
seen, and his description made a
deep impression f$>\\ min'd of
his little daugfttej Mary. The
writer and hie, offspring, a week
later, were in a train* together,
which stopped at a station near a
gloomy building. A man asked:
“What place is that?”
“The county'jail,” another an
swered promptly.
Whereupon Mary embarrassed
her father and aroused the suspi
cion of the other occupants of the
carriage by asking, in a loud,
shrill voice:
“Is that tho jail you were in,
father?”—Judge’s Library.

A Spuffbox, a Portrait and
priced Monarch.
It Is related of Frederick II.. king of
Prussia, that be one (lay mate a pres
ent of n golden snuffbox to o:io of Ills
counts. When the latter opened the
lid lie found the picture of. an a"-*
painted upon the Underside of It.
Though lie scarcely relished the king’s
joke, la- said nothing at Uio time, but
us.so.oiv as Ua/xpiitteA the king’s pres
ence he sent one of Ills valets with the
snuffbox to tjie city and gave him in
structions that the picture of the ass
was to be painted out aiuf a portrait
oft the king put In its place.
A few days later a distinguished
company dined with tho king. The
count was one of tlie guests, and after
a time lie produced his snuffbox aud
pretended to examine it with the air
of a man who was proud to have re
ceived such a gift from the king. Tlio
latter, wishing to enjoy a little amuse
ment at the count’s expense, mention
ed to the Duchess of Brunswick that
ho had made a present of the box to
tho count on the preceding day. She
desired to Inspect it, nnd when the
box was handed to her she opened
the lid and, looking inside, cried In
raptures: “Perfect! The likeness is
charming! It is one of the best por
traits of you that I have ever seen!”
She handed the box to the person
next to her, who was equally charmed
with the likeness. From one to anoth
er the box was passed, and all testi
fied to the excellent resemblance which
the picture Uore to tho king. The king,
thinking that the ass’ head wns still
to be seen on the snuffbox, felt exceed
ingly embarrassed and scarcely knew
what to lnnke of the Incident, but at
last the snuffbox, having made the
tour of the table, came to bis hands,
nnd the first glance showed him how
cleverly tho count had anticipated his
little joke and turned it against him
