The ladles have the co-operation of the Board of Education and the City Fathers and they have ranged for two speeches on that oc casion, one to be made by Mayor Luke and one by Judge H. W. Hop kins. Both will be nn intelligent and forceful discussion of school bonds, and the need of them at the present time. A musical program has also been arranged -for the oc casion.

The question is one of live Interest and the result should work to the Interest of bonds for tho school. what sort of people, morally, tho man and woman both were. He had three or four other wives, or near wives. She had three or four other husbands, or near-husbands. Neither of them had anything even ap proaching social standing in this or any other city, so far as the detec tives can learn. In spite of these facts, the Apple baum killing is the big sensation of! the moment in Atlanta. The local' newspapers have made It so. (From Tuesday’s Daily.) The City Council met last nighi and remained in session about an hour. The first matter up for dis cussion were amendments to the License Ordinance. The Mayor stated that the city could not collect that portion of the ordinance relat ing to professional men. He took occasion, however, to rap tho law yers in tho Legislature who passed a law exempting thoraselves front license taxes and put it on real es tate men, insurance men and many others. He eaid, “It is a shame that such men would legislate for them selves.” The tax was taken off the license ordinance by vote. The license for bill posters was changed so as to be thirty-seven dol lars and fifty cent9 and to allow five thousand square feet of post.ng space; all over that to be charged for at the rate of one cent per square foot. Alderman McDoug aid mentioned a bond for pressing clubs of two hundred dol'ars, to in sure patrons the money for any clothing which the clubr lost or seriously damaged, but thl3 was not taken up. Alderman Bennett introduced an ordinance to compel the merchants doing business on the paved streets to have the front of their places swept off Saturday ight, the city ob ligating Itself to have the trash re moved before Sunday morning. This was put on its second read ing. Alderman McDougala Introduced an ordinance which will make it a penal offeuce for auto driver® to use what is commonly known as a “muffler cut-out,’ and the ordin ance also delegated the same pen* alty to motorcycle riders who use this device to the extreme annoy ance of many people. This was also put on its second reading. The police petitioned for uniforms and the city council decided to do as they have been doing in that matter that is, paying half of the cost ^f| the uniform.
