Same approved, and clerk an<l treasurer instructed to notify the agent of the Central railroad that such action had been taken, and that the regular rate would apply after Jan. Ist 1902. The Street Committee reported that electric lights had been in stalled in the Union Colored School building.

City Attorney Lambdin made the following written report re garding the sale of meats in the city: Bakxksvim.e, G.v., Feb. 3, 1902. To the Honorable Mayor and Council, of the City of Barnesville; The question having been submitted j to me for my opinion as to whether i those parties who bring meat to town | and sell the same upon their wagons, j are subject to a license or not, I beg to report as follows, to-wit: If such parties pursue the matter of making such sales regularly as a busi | ness or occupation, they are liable to | pay said tax, or if fhey buy up hogs, or cattle from other parties and slaughter the same and bring the meat into the city for sale, they are liable for said tax. If however, they casually bring in the produce of their own farms, and meat, derived from the slaughter of hogs or cattle raised on their own places, and bring the same into town only casually ’and occasionally and do not pursue such matter as a business, then in my opinion, under the statutes of the State, they are not liable to pay any special license tax in our city. Whether therefore any party is liable to said tax or not will depend upon particular circumssances in each case. Respectfully submitted, Vr. W. Lambdin, City Attorney. 'liic city attorney was requested to investigate tjie claims of the county commissioners for back taxes account of the dispensary and make report concerning same at next meeting ofcoun. il.

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 con dition 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 en tirely 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 bnt an inflamed condition of the mu cous surfaces. 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.

To THE SUPERIOR COURT OF SAID COUNTY: The petition of the Barnesville Manufacturing Company shows as follows: — 1.

Wherefore, petitioner prays for the right, power, and author ity to reduce the above stated capi tal stock to $100,000.00 to be di vided into 2,000 shares of the par value of Fifty Dollars each, alLto he known as common stock: to abolish the distinction between the old preferred and common stock and retire same, and to issue the new common stock above pro vided in the place ofthe old com mon and preferred stock in the proportion provided in said resolu tion ; also to issue new preferred stock to the amount of $25,000.00 and sell same at par, the same to be preferred both as to its divi dends and assets of said Company, and guaranteeing the payment of 6% non-cumulative dividends to its holders before any dividends are paid on the common stock, thus making the total capitaliza tion of said Company $125,000.00, consisting of $1(X),000.00 common and $25,000.00 preferred stock as aforesaid: to hereafter increase the capital stock of said Company to any amount not exceeding $200,000.00 by issuing other common stock or other similar preferred stock to such amounts and in such proportions from time to time as the exigencies of the business of the Company may demand; also to borrow money and issue notes or bonds therefor and secure the same by mortgage or deed of trust on any or all of the property of said Company; and to have such other rights and powers as may be necessary for the purpose of carrying out said plan of re-organization as contem plated in said resolution. 5.

HOW A GLOBE IS MADE. The Process Used In Constructing a Model of the World. 1 First, the model is covered with a thick layer of pasteboard in a moist state. When it is dry, a sharp knife is passed around it so as to separate the pasteboard coat into two hemispherical shells, which are then taken off the model and united at the cut edges with glue. The hollow sphere thus formed is the skeleton of the globe that is to be. The next thing is to cover it with a coating of white enamel about one-eighth of an inch in thickjaesf*. When this is done, the ball is turn ed into a perfect roundness by a machine. The iron rod running through the center of the original model and projecting’at.both snds through the surface hasfleifc holes in the new globe, which serve for the north and south poles, and through these a metal axis is run to represent the axis of the earth. Then the surface is marked off with pencil lines into mathematical segments corresponding precisely in shape with the sections of map tten?: are to be pasted on. These myak sections are made from cqg|>?ip plates in just the size and shaper-re quired to fit the globe that they are intended for, one set, of course, cov ering the entire spherical surface. They are printed,- many of them, like dress patterns, on sheets of the finest linen paper, and are cut out carefully with a sharp pointed knife. When they have been pasted on, the different countries are tinted by hand with water colors. There is no special rule for this except that contrasts are aimed at as a help to the eye of the user. Finally Hie whole is overlaid with a brilliant*, white varnish, which is of metallic hardness and will wear rPw definitely without scratching or lost ; ing its brightness.—Milwaukee Se]sjjj| tinel. Ants on “Horseback.” A French explorer, M. Charles Meissen, in traveling through Siam observed a species of small gray ant3 which were new to him. These ants were much engaged in traveling. They lived in damp places and went in troops. To his surprise, he noticed among them from time to time an occa sional ant which was much larger than the others and moved at a much swifter rate, and each of these larger ants, M. Meissen saw, always carried one of the gray ants on its back. This discovery led him to watch their movements closely. He soon saw that while the main body of gray ants was always on foot they were accompanied by at least one of their own sort mounted on one of these larger ants. He mounted and detached himself now and then from the line, rode rap idly to the head, came swiftly back to the rear and seemed to be the commander of the expedition. The explorer was satisfied from his observation that this species of ant employs a larger ant—possibly a drone of the same species, though he had no means of proving this— as we employ horses to ride upon, though scarcely more than one ant in each colony seems to be provided with a mount.
