THB CITY FATHERS
Met in Regular Session Yesterday
Afternoon.
Tbe city council met yesterday *K
terncon, Hie Honor Mayor Davis, pre
aiding. There were present Alderman
Patrick. Moore, Blakely. Reid, Davis
and Mitchell.
A petition was read from A. E
Hindaman, asking permission to erect
wagon scales al tbe intersection of
Sixth and Solomon streets, which was
granted.
Aiderman Patrick stated that tbe
streets were in bad condition, and
should be worked at once. The street
committee was authorized to go before
tbe county commissioners at their
nelt meeting and endeavor to secure
the chain gang at once and have the
work done.
Tbe committee on wells was instruc ’
ted to make such necessary repairs on
the wells on Hill street as they think
.» advisable.
The cemetery committee asked for
further time in which to purchase an
acre of lard to be used by tbe coloied
citizens as a burial ground.
A letter was read from the Ame’i
can Fire Engine Company, accepting
the council’s proposition to repair No.
1 fire engine. A representative of the
company, Mr. Bernard Bosch, was
present, and made a detailed statement
of the work bis company proposed to
do, and stated that the engine would
be 20 per cent better for fire purposes
than it was when purchased, several
years since, as it would have all the
modern improvements.
After reading the contract, tbe may
or was authorized to sign tbe same,
and make proper papes for tbe city.
Bids were read from the Morning
Call and News and Bun, offering to
rpublish tbe city marshal’s fi fas at )e
--jjal rates.
Aiderman Patrick said the newspa
per fraternity had the advantage of
4be council and it would be forced to
pay tbe price named by tbe papers,
-but tbe council could regulate tbe
number of fi fas advertised. He
.moved that tbe finance committee
reelect such fi fas as they thought
tsbould be advertised, and run a few in
tbe papers, which would let the delin
quents know they were in earnest. He
was hopeful all would then come up
and pay tbeir taxes and save expense.
Tbe motion was carried, and now the
matter rests with the finance commit
mittee, after having been taken out of
the bands of chief of police. The
printing committee managed tbe mat*
ter for a while, but tbe council has
now decided to let tbe finance com
mittee tackle it.
Superintendent Howard was in
structed to replace the arc light near
Dr. Harris* residence, which was
moved to Camp Nortben several
s weeks since.
Considerable complaint has been
< made against tbe city garbage being
allowed to lemain in Bowden’s stable
lot, and Mr. Hanes Thurman, who
purchased the garbage for this year,
-.was ordered to move it at once.
There being no further business, tbe
adjourned.

Learning From the Immigrants.
The immigrants who are coming
into Georgia are showing us in a point
ed manner bow We have for years
been neglecting our rich resources.
Living in a country abundantly bless
ed by nature with all that is necessary
for tbe production of nearly if not
quite everything we need, wo depend
upon other and less favored, hut more
energetic, sections to supply our needs
It has been staled upon what ap
pears to be good authority that 90 per i
cent, of the dairy products consumed
iu Georgia are imported from other :
states, yet we have as fine pasturage 1
in this state as may be found in any I
other section of the country; much <
finer than existed naturally in that i
section of New York state which has <
become famous for its bolter and 1
cheese. And not only that, but our
grass growing season is several months i
longer than the season in the North I
and io the West. Here ii is scarcely I
necessary to stable milch cattle during '
the winter at all; they may run at !
large in tbe" pastures practicaly
throughout the twelve months. Be- ,
yond this, it was staled as a facial the :
last meeting of the Georgia dairymen’s <
convention that the percentage of 1
butter fat in milk in this state is high* l
er than tbe average io Northern and I
Western states. Xn view of these <
things, and tbe thousands of acres of I
land available for pasturage and cattle
raising purposes, why should we im- <
port a pound of butter or a pound of I
cheese. I
An object lesson illustrating what '
can be done in the cattle and slock 1
raising line is being presented by tbe
Shaker colony in Glynn county. The 1
people of this colony are paying no
attention to those things which native
Georgians regard as the staples, cotton, i
turpentine and timber, but are raising 1
food crops for their own use and hay
and grain for their stock. There is
every reason to believe tbeir enterprise -
will be attended with the greatest 1
success. 1
Tbo colonists at Fitzgerald are prov
ing that the lands which we are apt to
regard as being practically worthless
except for the value of the trees upon
them are as a matter of fact very fruit
ful under proper cultivation. Tbe '
Fitzgerald settlers have fertilized tbeir
lands, and are raising fine crops of
fruits, vegetables, grains, hay and oth
er products. Grapes also thrive in
that section, and it probably will not
be a great while before Irwin county
raisins and wine will make tbeir ap
pearance in tbe markets.
A railroad man is authority for tbe
statement that more bales of hay are
brought into Georgia each year than
bales of cotton are taken out of it.
Grass begins to sprout in Georgia
about the first of March and continues
to grow and flourish until nearly
Christmas It is not uncommon for
those few farmers who pay attention
to bay to gather three crops of it per
year from the same ground. Only a
short time ago the Morning News con
tained an article describing bow a
Middle Georgia farmer gathered S4O
worth of hay from one acre last year;
and all the work he did cn it was the
harvesting. It is risking nothing to
say that Georgia is one of tbe best
grass states in tbe Union, but our peo
ple have not yet learned tbe value of
grass.
The foregoing, of course, barely re
fers to a few things which Georgia can
and should, but does not produce.
There are hundreds of others. Indeed*
between the high hills of Dade and
tbe maishes of Camden there are to be
found soil and climate suited to the
production of almost anything which
may be called a necessary of life.
When our people learn to take advan
tage of the opportunities which Geor
gia offers them, they will grow rich
and independent —Savannah News.

The House es .The Future
The Evansville Courier declares
that if the imperialists in this country
are permitted to have their way, ten
years from now lbs membership of
our national House of Representatives
will be a strange mixture, and in it
will be men from all parte of the habi
table globe. According to the Cour
ier the proceedings of the House will
read something like this:
Gentleman from Illinois—Mr Speak
er, I desire to ask for an extension of
leave for my honorable colleague from
Hawaii. I understand that a split in
bis party necessitates bis presence at
home indefinitely. The mugwumps
of the twenty-third precinct of tbe
third ward in*Honolulu are trying to
defeat hie candidate for postmaster.
Under such emergent
Speaker—The gentleman from Ha
waii is granted leave until be can
teach the Honolulu mugwumps a
lesson in duly to our grand old party.
Wbal is the further pleasure of tbe
house?
"Mr. Speaker, I bold io my band ths
petition of a constituent for a pension.
He was a soldier in General Gatcia’s
command in the old days of Santiago.
Daring that eventful campaign,- when
the grasp nf Spain was being broken
by our boys, he fell a victim to the
dreaded gout. Since then he has
been unable to enjoy his meals.”
"Speaker—’Owing to the seriousness
of the case tbe pension will be granted
sinless there is objection. No objection
being beard, what is the farther pleas
ure of the house? Tbe gentleman
from Landrooes has the floor/.
'“Mr. Speaker, the Ladrone Veter
ans and Daughters of the Hispano
American war desire to thank Ibis
honorable body for tbe permission
granted to arm and drill tbe young
sons of the Ladrone Veterans and
Daughters of the Hispano American
war, who have organized the Young
Ladrone cadets. I ask leave to have
tbe thanks printed in the Congression
al Record.’ j- -
“ ‘Mr. Speaker!’
“ ‘The gentleman from Canary/
" ‘Mr. Speaker, it has long been a
wish of my constituents that this is
land might be represented on our gio- ‘
rious flag. I would suggest, therefore,
that in the center of the blue field be
placed a reproduction of a canary bird.
It would form a beautiful contrast,
this sweet singing innocent bird, to
tbe war scarred eagle, our national or
nithological emblem. Morever— ’
"Speaker—‘Referred io the commit
tee on birds.’ ”

THE HCtUENCE OF SYRUP OF FIGS
is due not only to the originality and
simplicity of the combination, but also
to the care and skill with which it is
manufactured by scientific processes
known to the California Fig Strut
Co. only, and we wish to impress upon
all the importance of purchasing the
true and original remedy. As the
genuine Syrup of Figs is manufactured
by the California Fig Syrup Co.
only, a knowledge of that fact will
assist one in avoiding the worthless
imitations manufactured by other par
ties. The high standing of the Cali
fornia Fig Strut Co. with the medi
cal profession, and the satisfaction
which the genuine Syrup of Figs has
given to millions of families, makes
the name of the Company a guaranty
of the excellence of its remedy. It is
far in advance of all other laxatives,
as it acts on the kidneys, liver and
bowels without irritating or weaken
ing them, and it does not gripe nor
nauseate. In order to get its beneficial
effects, please remember the name of
the Company—
