e THE AMERICAS DAILY TIMES-RECORDER: TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, iML. >A IN THE NEW CITY HALL CITY OFFICIALS WILL SOON OC CUPY THAT BUILDING. Lads find Buy Section of the City Connell —Some Important Molten Were Up for Contldi ration-Qnettlon of Immediate Ocenpation moot Important. The regular meeting of the city coun cil was held yesterday afternoon, the body convening at 4 o’clock, as usual, with a quorum, and the mayor in the chair. The session was a long and busy one, as the council did not adjourn until nearly 7 o'clock. There were two important matters up for consideration, besides routine work, one being a petition from the police commissioners asking that four addi tional patrolmen be put on for the win ter season. This number was added to the regular force last winter, but were taken off early in the spring. This petition, after discussion, was referred to tbe finance committee. The other matter referred to was in regard to the removal of the present headquarters of the city officials to the, as yet, unfinished city hail. When tbe committee on building was first appointed the mayor was ono of the three members of council who formed it. Shortly after the committee began its work, the mayor resigned from it and Councilman Matthews was appointed in his stead; In a short time Mr. MutthowB resigned and Councilman Logan now oc cupies tbo place on the committee. This much by way of explanation. At the previous meeting of tlio coun cil a report as to the condition of the new city hail, and other matters, was received from the building committee, and at yesterday’s meeting the matter came up for consideration. In connection with this, it should be stated that Mr. James Smith, tho con tractor for the building, had requested that tho headquarters be removed so that the old court house could bo torn down, as it must eventually be, in order to open up the now street by “The Windsor.” The mayor opposed tho report and, at his request, it was referred to tho com mittee for revision, as it did not show the many changes that had taken place In tho committee. However, upon a written agreement, drawn up by City Attorney Hawkins, between the council and Mr. Smith, it was decided to re move the headquarters of the city of ficials to the new city hall Immediately. By this agreement it Is clearly under stood that the building is not yet ac cepted by the city, and that it is only oc cupied temporarily, ns any other build ing would be. So, In a few days, tho headquarters will be removed to tho now city hall and the work of demolishing the old court house will have begun. ITUE AMEH1CU8 CLVH. the rovya democracy!

La mar were passengers on a train leaving Atlanta and Just as the train reached Constitution, some dastardly sooundrel threw a stone at the passing train. The missile struck the glass of the window by which Mrs. Lamar was sitting, and breaking it, struck her In the face, mak ing a painful wound, causing the blood to flow freely. Mr. Lamar says that -when he appeeled to the conductor, tbat official only said: “Why, I thought those fellows had quit that.” Mrs. La mar was not seriously Injured, but there Is no telling what might have been.

But what I can’t understand, to save my soul, is why they should liavo named it ‘Tlio Wind sor.’ Vow, in every town on the Amer ican continent—” But the Drummer cut him off short with: “I’ll tell you why they call it ‘The Windsor.’ It is named In honor of Mr. John Windsor, who has done much for Americus. Mr. Windsor is ono of the prominent citizens here, and occu pies a high position in the hearts of this people. Besides being cashier of the I’eoplo’s national Bank, ho is the secre tary of the Americus Manufacturing and Improvement Company, which latter In stitution has promoted and pushed this hotel enterprise. Isn’t that reason enough for calling the hotel 'Tho Wind sor?’” • « * ’Hough said!” ejaculated the Fat Man ns he relit his cigar. • « « Say I” exclaimed the Dyspeptic, “can any of you folks tell me what’B tlio mat ter with tbo water in this town? The town is a dandy, but I’m mixed on tbe water, its regular trick wafer; you see I went Into a‘gilded palace of sin’ to-day for wator—witli trimmings—and when the barkeeper handed mo tho water he'd Just drawn from the faucet, it was almost as white ns milk and I was about to ask what the matter was, when my friend got to talking to mo and—bless me—when I turned ’round to drink, that water was as clear ns crystal. I knew It was tho same water for I had my hand on the glass tbe whole time! I didn’t say anything then, but I want to know how tho change occurred?” • • * “Well, I’ll tell yon, old man”—It was the Drummer again—“tho water was aerated by the power which drives it through tho pipes of the city. You know the water here has n powerful forco behind it, more so than many places, and it was simply aerated—an overplus of sir had been supplied it. Why there’s no place in Georgia—and I’ve traveled the state for years—that has any better, purer and mure wholesome water than this beautiful little city.” • • • “Thank you,” said tho Dyspeptic, “let’s go get some aerated water with its overplus of air.” ... “With the trimmings?” Inquired the well informed Drummer as they moved off. . . • A laugh came drifting down the ball- way and I knew that everybody was satisfied. So was I and I made my way to the office thinking of what a glorious place to live in Is Americus ! Tub Rounder.

She wan of medium height, with bright brown eyes and a sweet face. These with a fine form and charming manner made her much sought after by the yonng men ot North Haven. She chow to bestow her sweetest hinilea on Julios Button, a whole soulcd. hardy young sailor, and all those who sought Sofia’s hand felt a pang of envy when Jnlins led her to tho altar. The young couple settled down to the hmndrum life of the small village in which both bad been born and reared For a time they were as happy a* ever two young people who seemed made for each other con Id be. Julius had accumulated a wing smn of money and was disposed to take life easily. The apple of his eye wan hi» wife. Next iu his affection was his violin, and with those two for company he was content to spend his evenings at home. Althongh her husband played very well. Sofia cared nothing for music and detested a violin above all things. For a while she said nothing Then she would leave Julius and his violin aud would run over to one of the neighbor’s to spend the evening. It dawned m>on Julius that the strains he drew from his violin were not appreciated by his wife. Then Sofia began to show that beneath a sweet exterior there lay smoldering a fiery temper that when once let loose was simply ungovernable, and violent outbursts on her part became more and more frequent. Julius bore it ull uncomplainingly, lor he loved his wife dearly, ills was a gen tie nature that never held malice and he knew Sofia loved him. so he was patient Bn* all things must end some time, and his patience was no exception to the rule A Mi Kit THAT CAUSED KOKR0W One afternoon Julios went home and picked up his violin. He had drawn the bow but a few times before Sofia ex claimed ‘1 wish yon would stop that noise. Julius paid no heed to the request which had been made in such a manda tory tone. .Sofia became augrier as her husband continued playing, and at last shouted. ••Julius. 1 want you to stop that noise.” But Julius only smiled and kept on playing. .Sofia grew livid with rage, and seizing a pan of water threw it into Julius’ face. Then her husband put away his violin and left tho house. In the evening he came hack and began packing up hia clothing Sofia had recovered from her paroxysm of auger and was williug to bo forgiven, hut did not ask it. Her wom an’s curiosity could not l>e restrained, however, and sin* tremblingly asked what it all meant The only reply her husband vouchsafed was that lie had shipjied on a vessel bpnnd for Virginia after a load of oysters. Days and weeks and months jmssed and the absent husband was not heard from and Sofia went to live with her hus band's parents. One day thirty-five years later the elder Button read of the arrival in New York of the United States brig Bainhridge. Captain Julius Bntton. Uewud uothiugof the great hope that hail sprung up in his breast, hut hastened to New York, only to find that the brig hod sailed a few hours before But his journey was not altogether fruitless, for he learned that the captain of the Bain bridge was his own son It lifted a heavy loud from the old inan's heart, although he felt keenly Ins disappointment at not seeing his son. win* had for many years been mourned ns dead FORTY YKARS IoATKK.
