The minutes of last meeting were read and confirmed. A petition was granted to J. L Bow den to use the chair* in the city hall, at Patterson’s had, during commence ment exercises. Prof. Chas. M. Neo! and Prof J. H Walker petitioned the council to fur nish light free for their schools during the commencement exercises at the Olympic Theatre. The petitions were granted. An ordinance was read fer the first time for the adoption of the new city code as prepared by the city attorney, 0. H. P. Slaton. Clerk Nall reported that the city tax assessors bad turned over their books to him, which showed an in crease of $83,000 over last year.

The Methodist Revival- The revival services at the First Methodist church are being attended by large and appreciative congrega* lions. The preaching has been of a very high order, dealing with the great fundamental doctrine of Christianity. " The singing, led by Mr. Tillman is a very attractive feature of the meeting, and is being greatly enjoyed by all who bear him. Rev. J.T. Daves preached a very fine and impressive sermon last night to a large congregation. Mr Daves sought to show that hu man agencies and human methods, in saving them from sin have failed ut terly and that it is through the influ ence and power of the Holy Spirit that we are saved, if saved at all. He preached a beautiful sermon this morning. He is a learned preacher and we feel safe in saying that his work here will result in much good. An Editor'll Reformation. For over a year The Ledger has been stealing from its exchanges without a qualm of conscience. Notice is hereby given that our better nature has assert ed itself, and everything will be credit ed hereafter. Tell you why. Saw an item in a western exchange stating that a woman was composed of 4SO muscles, 320 bones and 250 pins. Copied it as original. Woman read it. Called us a liar. Had concealed on her person 560 pins. Hereafter items will bo credited, and the blame of false statements will fall where it belongs.—Roscoe (Pa.) Ledger. How to Pronounce Albany. The common usage of pronouncing the name of our city as though it were spelled Allbany has so long prevailed that it will probably surprise many readers to be told that the first syllable of the name is properly short and should be pronounced like the Al in Al fred and Albert. Edwin Forrest, who was an accurate orthoepist, called this city Al-bany, not AU-bany or Awl bany.—Albany Argus. Deafness Cannot be Cured by local applications as they cannot reach the diseased portion of the ear. There is only one way to cure deafness, and that is by constitutional remedies. Deafness is caused by an inflamed condition of the mucous lining of the Eustachian Tube. When this tube is inflamed you have a rumbling sound or imperfect hearing, and when it is' entirely closed, deafness is the result, and unless the inflammation can be taken out and this tube restored to its normal condition, hearing will be de stroyed forever; nine cases out of ten are caused by Catarrh, which is nothing but an inflamed condition of the mucous sur faces. We will give One Hundred Dollars for any case of Deafness (caused by catarrh) that cannot be cured by Hall’s Catarrh Cure. Send for circulars; free. F. J. CHENEY & CO., Toledo, O.

' McKinley Developing a Disposition to Play Czar Washington, May 9—(Special) Secretary Alger, who hasjust returned to Washington, is lacking in many of i the characteristics that go to make an ideal Secretary of War, but be attempts to make up tor all of them with gall, , of which he has about as much as any man who ever held a cabinet portfolio. And his latest is a little beyond all bis previous exploits in the gal! line. He has actually gone so far as to dictate to Mr. McKinley, if the public talk of his bench men can be believed. Ac cording to the Algerites, Alger is not satisfied with the whitewashing given him by the War Commission and the alleged vindication given him by the report of the military court of inquiry, which Mr. McKinley has just approved and ordered published, but demaudg that Gen. Miles shall be deposed from the command of the army. In addi tion to having demanded this of Mr. McKinley, Alger is said to have told him that if he did not issue the order ( transferring Miles from Commander of the army to one of the military , divisions, he would, as Secretary of , War, issue it himself, thus forcing Presidential action one way or the > other. It is not surprising that Mr. ] McKinley should have concluded to go to the Virginia Hot Springs and : try to clear out his system by a few ( hot baths. But it is Algerism he will have to clear out to accomplish any- ( thing Mr. McKinley seems to be develop* mg a disposition to play Czar. He ordered Representative Henderson, of lo*a, chairman of the Republican CaucusJComniittee, that recently com pleted a financial bill, when he called at the white house with a copy of the bill, to change it before it was submit ted to the republicans of the Senate finance committe, who it seems must approve it before it is made public. Col. Henderson is a peppery sort of a fellow occasionally, but being a candi date for Speaker of the House, he did not care to quarrel with the President, so he only called bis attention to the fact that every clause in the bill had been put there by unanimous vote of the committee. The order to change it was reiterated by the President. It has been decided by the republi can leaders that an extra session of Congress shall be called probably early in the fail, but in order to give them selves an opportunity to change their minds, should it be deemed advisable later to do so, they will not say more than that an extra session is probable. The fact of the matter is, that they are getting uneasy over the political out look. A short time ago they were fig uring on a walk over for McKinley next year, but they are now frighten ed. One of them said “Mr McKinley will, of course, be a candidate for re nomination, but it is by no means certain that be will win The scandal under bis administration has made it difficult for his friends to defend it. Alger, Shafter, Eagan and others, who have figured prominently in the ad ministration, have not added to Mr. McKinley’s reputation or improved his chances for renominution Con servative observers believe Algerism and Eaganistn will prove to be a heav ier load than Mr. McKinley can cariy, at'd that even if be should be nominat ed again, he would be defeated.” The Philippine situation continues to Le a combination of dickering and fighting, although the administration claims that, thr 1 submission of Aguinal do is iiow lul'y assured, but they do not say when. His subjugation has been a sure thing from the first, but it has already cost more, both in money and blood, than it will ever be worth to the people of this country. Millions Given Away. It is. certainly gratifying to the pub lic to know of one concern in the laud who are not afraid to be generous tc the needy and suffering. The pro prietors of Dr. King's New Discovery for Consumption, Coughs and Colds have given away over ten million tria bottles of this great medicine; ant have the satisfaction of knowing it ha; absolutely cured thousands of hopelesi I cases.

Hail the Size of Hen Eggs Fell in Large Quantities Thomaston, May 9—The most de structive hail storm of years swept over the northwestern section of this county yesterday afternoon. It was preceded by a violent wind, which demolished many small build ings and destroyed much valuable tim ber. It is thought that several lives were lost, which later reports will bring in. Hail stones as large as lien eggs have been found clustered in banks nearly two feet deep. The section visited by the storm pre sents a discouraging picture to the farmer. His corn, cotton, vegetables and all small grain has been complete ly destroyed and it is too late to replant some of the crops VAUGHN VOICINGS- Vaughn, Ga., May 9.—-Dr. Ellis Drewry, of Griffin, was here to see the sick Wednesday.

It is the one perfect strengthening laxa tive, cleansing the system effectually, dispelling colds, headaches and fevers gently yet promptly and enabling one to overcome habitual constipation per manently. Its perfect freedom from i every objectionable quality and sub stance, and its acting on the kidneys, i liver and bowels, without weakening ' or irritating them, make it the ideal laxative. In tin- process of manufacturing tigs • are used, as they are pleasant to the taste, but the medicinal qualities of the remedy are obtained from senna and I other aromatic plants, by a method known to the California Fig Syrup Co. only.
