Warnell, Mayor Willie. Col. Rigsby
and Mr. T. Wight, all made remarks
upon various resolutions, but the
resolutions were adopted as prepar
ed. If these resolutions are faith
fully carried out it will mean much
for the future of this good town.
After the adoption the chairman
asked that If there was any other
business before the meeting. Mr.
F. B. Walsh, then stated that he
wished to state that he thought
that the ordinance, Impounding cows
was wrong and he moved that the
meeting Instruct the Incoming ad
ministration to call another election
upon the cow question.
Immediately, Mr. Roddenbery,
was upon his feet and made a vig
orous speech against the motion.
He stated that he liked cattle, bu’
was bitterly opposed to the cow
roaming the streets. Mr. Walsh,
replied, and then Mr. Copeland
stated that he was on the fence and
was willing to mix with cows or
not. Just any old way to please the
majority.
Before the question was put, Mr.
Bell, moved that the ladles present

Don’t hurry—look It all over.
Don’t be too quick to criticise ths
