Notice is hereby given that the City ot Albany, through the Waterworks and Electric Light Commission, Is now prepared to furnish electric power for motors not exceeding ten-horsepower, inside the city limits of Albany, such power to be used only in the day time. Power for motors for small manufac turing enterprises or for industries ot any kind not requiring more than ten- horsepower can be had upon most sat isfactory terms. For further Informa tion apply to WILLIAM LOCKETT, 14-lmo Superintendent Washington street, from Broad to North, Is paved. Fact! There Is a little cleaning up to do at various points along the line, and a bit of patching here and there where defects in the work have been discov- ored, but the Job Is practically com pleted. Sing four stanzas, please. All together, now: let all sing. One, two, three "Praise etc.,.etc. The city authorities have notified the officers of the Southern Concrete Con struction Co. ttfat it is desired to close up the whole paving matter at once. A request has been made that the com pany have Its qualified representatives In Albany on Wednesday for a final reckoning, and if no hitch develops the final payment on the paving contract will be made at once. It has required nearly six months to accomplish the paving Job. It was thought when the contract was let that the work would bd done In half the time, or less, hut there has been delay after delay, and the consummntlon ot a work in which the whole community was interested was repeatedly de ferred. But now the agony Is over. The three blocks from Broad street northward on Washington are paved, and Albany knows a whole lot about paving that she didn’t know before, dhe paid a price for the knowledge, hut It will copie la handy with a value all Its own In the future when similar undertakings are on foot. The owner of a fast trotter may now go a-cllpptng oyer those three blocks ot paved street with the music ot his horse's hoofs ringing In hts ears. When he gets to the end ot the vitrified brick he may. If he likes the fnuslc, turn about and drive back. Otherwise, the music will cease. After a while we will, of course, have more paying done, though for the pres ent there will he no more undertak ings of this character. JAMBS TIFT MANN Attorney and Counsellor at Law. Special to The Herald. Atlanta, Ga., March 20.—Late Satur day night fifty-three negrdes—men and women—were arrested ih the club rooms operated by Charley Moseley ht 80% Decatur street.

One of the important matters in con nection with every assembly of the Georgia Chautauqua relates to the dec oration of the Auditorium. Every year a competent committee It appointed by the Chautauqua management to look after the decorations, and the atten tion thus bestowed is responsible for greatly improving the appearance of the Interior of the building. This year the matter has been placed In the hands of a competent commit tee, President A. W. Muse having ap pointed a committee of three, com posed of Miss Annie Hobbs, Mrs. J. P. Gill and Mr. Frank Smith. This com mittee will have entire charge of the decorations. Albany can, not take care of new comers until she provides houses for them to sleep In. People want to come, and will even make reasonable sacrifices to that end, but they can not be expected to camp la the streets or vacant lots Just for the sake 'of be ing called Albanians. There are scores of families anxious to move to Albany from other places, but there houses have been built during the last few years, and many more are being and will be built, but there are no Indi cations that the supply will keep pace with the demand. The demand Is sim ply growlng-the faster. THE WEATHER. Weather Forecast The following Is the weather fore cast for Georgia for next 24 hours I Showers and warmer tonight and Tuesday.
