We suggest to the authorities that

The feather men are working up this

CITY AFFAIRS.
Tile City Council I’as Upon Some Im
portant Matters.
The city council met at their chambers
Tut?sday night with Mayor Wikle in the
chair and the following aldermen present:
Aaron Collins, John Crawford. Gerald
Griffin, A. C. Williams. Jack Collins,
George H. Gilreath and John Hilburn.
The minutes of former meeting read
and confirmed.
On motion of Mr. Griffin it was re
solved that during the summer months
the city council will meet at 4 o'clock
iu the afternoon on the first Tuesday in
every month instead at night. Mr.
Griffin also carried a motion to the
effect that hereafter all accounts against
the city must be prepared and handed
to a member of the financial committee
liefore noon on the day of meeting or
else if not presented iu time it will be
carried over to the following meetiug.
Mr. Gilreath complained that he saw
no revenues derived from the public scales,
stated that tin* city was pat to consider
able expense in keeping them in repair
and wanted to know why some revenue
did not come in, as he hud noticed par
ties weighing ores etc. on them.
Marshall Wilkerson stated for the ben
efit of the council that the ore men were
allowed to weigh on the scales at a cer
tain amount ]>er car; that the number
of cars were generally learned from the
books of the railroad and accounts
presented; stated that several accounts
were unpaid. On motion oT Mr. A. Col
lins the marshal was instructed to get
up the accounts aud present them for
payment.
It was ordered that 150 cop pies of re
vised ordinances and laws Is? printed for
public distribution. The ordnance com
mittee will go to work at once revising
them aud put in hands of printer.
The question of appointing city asses
sorscame up, as also the assessment of
city property. It was first ordered that
this question be set for a special setting
of the body for next Monday but the
time was changed to yesterday after
noon. Pending the discussion of the
question, several of the body participat
ed in a discussion as to how much ad
vance was to be made on the value of
city property. Mr. Griffin thought that
property had advanced some in value
and should be assessed accordingly, while
Mr. Gilreath thought that there were
many people in the community who were
of the opinion that property was not
now worth any more than last year.
John Hilburn made an oratorical to the
effect that so far as the boom had struck
town and jieople were holding property
at booming figures, lie was in favor of
appointing boomers for tax assessors.
Vlr Hilburn is somewhat of a boomer
himself.
Marshal Wilkerson reported that there
were about eighty street tax defaulters;
that they'had been served with notices to
appear with pick and shovel. The time
set for the hearing of excuses from the
same; they to appear before the city
council, sitting as road commissioners,
was the 15th of the present month. In
the meantime defaulters can pay their
street tax and be receipted therefor
without extra cost.
The dog question has struck the city
council but the discussion was
postponed until yesterday at which time
an ordnance was to be ready to be‘pre
sented to the body.
A Mr. Williamson had a difficulty with
his brother-in-law, Mullins, and was fined
$3.50. Wiliamson was before the body
asking for time in which to make the
payment. It was ordered that the time
be extended until the 20th inst.
Mr. Aaron Collins, chairman of the
street eommittue, reported that cemetery
end of Erwin street was in a precarious
condition,that is wasextemelv dangerous
and asked some instructions from the
body in the matter, as a building of a sewer
the entire length of the large ditch there,
would cost considerable money. He
knew no remedy for the difficulty only to
cut a large ditch to intersect with the
railroad ditch in rear of W. R. Sadler’s
lot. The matter was reffered to street
committee with instructions to move iu
the matter at once.
It at last looks like that this most
dangerous place is to be done away with.
It ruius one of the prettiest streets of the
town besides making the town in a good
place to get a damage suit on her hands.
It has long been an eye sore and its doing
away with will be gladly welcomed by
our people.
The council adjourned to meet yester
day afternoon at 4 o’clock.
yesterday’s meeting.
The city council met at the appointed
time. No action was taken as to dogs,
only to postpone the discussion of the
matter until the 15th inst. Probably a
tax will be levied on canines in this com
munity.
Messrs. M.L. Pritchett and J.C. Milam
were elected city tax assessors.

Will J. Neel Lead* Hit Clan* aud Take*
the Honor*.
Will J. Neel, sq., graduated at the law
department of Georgetown University last
week, taking the first honor aud the first
prize, amounting to $ 100 in gold. This
announcement will be a source of genu
ine pleasure to his numerous admirers
aud friends throughout this section. To
lead the class of 1887 in this most splend
id school is no small achievement. In it
were representatives from nearly every
state aud territory in the Union, and it
was unquestionably one of the best av
erage law classes in the country, com
posed of young men of culture and intel
ligence, all giving promise of distinction
in the ranks of the honorable profession
which they have chosen.
The following is Mr. Neel's general av
erage for the year: Contracts 98.43;
Ecquity 100; Evidence 99.15; Notes and
bills 97.33; Pleading 94.25; Practice
98.30; Real Estate 99, making a general
average of 98.07, which is unusually fine,
showing au earnest, industrious applica
tion. He will remain in Washington un
til he has taken a post graduate course
at this school, when he will return to be
gin the practice otf his profession. Well
grounded in subtle the legalprinciples of
the law and accomplished in its ethics and
modes of procedure, and with his fine na
tive powers his future opens up with bright
promises. His friends predict for him a
a brilliant career.
Go to Wikle’s drug store and get fruit
jars and put up berries, as there will lie
scarcely any peaches in this section. You
can get the jars at bottom prices.

the trigger. The gun remained in that
position for ten days. One night last
week some one attempted to get them
some more of the coveted corn, when
they received a small load in their urm.
The wound did not prevent their gettiug
away. Mr. Schulte has not missed any
corn since. He has been unable to as
certain who the thief was. W. C. W.
GRASSDALE.
We have had a fine season. Have not
plowed a furrow for one week. There
were several as hard showers as I ever
saw fall. Lands are very badly washed.
What wheat there is in these parts
will be cut this week, it is generally too
thin, but we hope for a good quality aud
yield for the amount of straw.
Rev. John Speck who is well known to
many of your people, spent lust Thurs
day night with the family of J. C. Her
ring. He, with his family, had been on a
visit to his wife’s old home. Bro. Speck
is doing a great deal of good work on
his circuit. He has built and paid for a
very neat parsonage with very little
money from his own jieople.
Willie Battle has been a great sufferer
during the past week from a tooth that
had been filled, am glad to say that he
is a great deal better, and will soon be
at his best.
Mr. and Mrs. Sam Pittard, on Satur
day last, were on their way to Rowland
Springs in a buggy, the axle broke
throwing them out. Mrs. P. was sonie
wt at bruised, but not seriously hurt.
Jim Weems took his sister Beatrice to
Dalton on Saturday, where she will re
main sometime with relatives aud friends.
We had every prospect for fair weather,
but as soon as we learned that Jim had
crossed the Oostanaula we ran up the
rain signal, and sure enough we are now
having a big rain. If Jim does get home
we will detail some one to watch that he
does not slip off until we need more rajn.
Grassdale is all excitement over the
unexpected announcement that one of
our most popular boys has taken
unto himself a better-half. On Thursday
night last, at Marietta, by the Rev. Sam
Tuinlin, Mr. Murray Hawkins and Mies
Daisy Cox were married. In behalf of
the Grassdale people I extend to the
happy pair our most hearty cougrutula
tious aud hope for them a long aud hap
py life together. May no chilling frost
ever come to nip this beautiful Daisy
which Murray has been so fortunate to
get as his own, and may it grow brighter
and more attractive as it grows older.
The young lady may consider herself one
of the most fortunate in the matrimonial
drawing. Had she sought far aid near
she could not have found a kinder and
bigger hearted partner, nor one that
will strive harder to please and make her
life a happy one. There is one great
pleasure she will be deprived of, one
which has given others a great deal of
satisfaction (I speak knowingly) that is,
no hair to pull on the top of his head.
Oh! Murray, thou art a most fortunate
man. Croktox.

Another Md Dog Killed.
The great number of mad dogs that
have been killed recently are causing our
people to think seriously of some reme
dy. Last Saturday afternoon, Tom
Williams, who lives with his father, near
the Deweese bridge, came near being bit
ten by a dog showing unmistakable evi
dences of hydrophobia. The dog came
“lopiug” down the road and when Mr.
Williams’ dog ran to the fence, Tommie
went out and was leaning on the fence
when the outraged dog flew at him over
the fence, but was knocked down with a
heavy stick. Tommie ran to the house
and secured a shot gun, and he together
with a gentleman followed the dog down
the road towards Stegall’s, lie was
overtaken and dispatched. No one
knows the dog and from appearances
must have been running for some time.
A dog law is badly needed, aud the justly
alarmed people are clamoring for one. A
few weeks ago a worthy mechanic of
Thomusville was bitten by a worthless
flee and died from the effects, and imme
diately the town turned out and com
menced killing dogs. It remains to be
seen if our people will wait until some
one is bitten before measures are taken.

We Mast Have a Fire Engine.
Our article of last week caused many
to think of the danger that is in store
for our town. That we need a fire en
gine no one disputes but it seems a slow
matter to get a live party to put the
ball in motion. Two of our well-known
citizens could easily secure subscriptions
from our merchants and property hold
ers, and what is lacking the ladies of
Cartersville would cheerfully assist in
raising.. They are us much interested iu
the protection of our homes and prop
erty as anybody, and when the time
comes we will wager that the ladies will
do more than their share.
Now let some of our live business men
start the ball in motion aud give the
town a thorough canVassiug on the
matter. In insurance alone the cost of
a fire engine and cisterns can ba saved
iu a short time, and it is nothing but
the veriest business economy for our
merchants to take a lively interest in the
matter.
Let us have an engine and cisterns.
A Falsb Notion
Prevails with many married ladies that
to nurse their own babies is alwas desir
able. This notion is proved false by the
improvement, speedily preemptible, pro
duced by Lactated Food in thousands of
puny iiuants that bad mother’s milk and
worse baby foods have made punier.
