Mr, Chas. W. Griffin was made
Captain, Mr. C. C. Burch and Mr.

Lieutenants respectively. The
vote was unanimous.
The company has been assigned
to the 2nd Regiment Infantry,
Volunteers, commanded by Col.
Chas. M. Wiley, of Macon, and is
designated as Co., “M.”
It is proposed to place the com¬
pany in a batahon with the com¬
panies at Hawkinsville, Dublin
and Sandersville. This we think
a splendid arrangement, The
members are enthusiastic and pro¬
pose to make company “M” the
best in the regiment. They meet
every Thursday night for drill,
The guns and equipment will
i arrive about January first and
; then Die company will lie in shape
for active service if needed. The

EASTMAN, GA., DECEAIBER 21, 1899.
C0MUIMCATE1).
Mr. Editor.—Rlerse allow me
space enough in vour valuable pa¬
per to make a few suggestions to
the good citizens of our city,
As all are aware we are about
to be calk'd upon to decide who
shall govern or misgovern our city
affairs for next year. It is of
great importance that we elect
good men for that purpose, men
who will work for the mural up
lmilding of our city.
As to what the present Council
lias done I will not say. What
they have failed to do, one has
only to go upon our 'streets any
day to see, especially Saturday to
set* men under the influence of
liquor, and see gambling not only
upon the streets but in some of
the business houses. Where do
these men get tiieir liquor? We
are Id t at it is sold in E -J
man. W v is it allowed? W
cause the Mayor and Council will
not agree to stop it. 1 contend
that it can he stopped whenever
we get a Mayor and Council who
are elected upon this issue, we
will seethe law enforced but not
until then can we expect to see
our town what it should be.
It will depend in a great meas
ure upon who the citizens of
Eastman elect for Mayor and
Council next year whether Dodge
County will be allowed to sell
liquor or not. of Eastman
It the good citizens
s t still and take no active part in
the election of our next city offi
cials, we may expect to|see iinmor
ality increase and our town to
suffer. 11 unite and work,
pray and vote for the upbuilding
of the morals of our town and
lect good men who have courage
and determination, who will see
that the law is enforcen. V hen
- vv do Du-' we nr but y epp-efc untif to ""
city prosper not we
do will we see any improvement
in our city government.
