LOCAL FATHERS HAVE BEEN
HAVING PROTRACTED SES
SIONS FOR A WEEK.
"The \new city council have been
having a rather strenuous initiation
into their duties, and the result is
there have been protracted sessions
of the body for a week.
At the regular monthly meeting
Jast Tuesday night they were in ses
sion until midnight, met again Wed
nesday and after several hours of
work adjourned to meet again Mon
day morning, and Monday after a
session of two or three hours ad
journed to meet again at night to
pass upon the annual license tax or
dinance, which had previously been
adopted and reconsidered.
A good deal of the time the coun
cil was in sessions was taken up in
hearing appeals to that body of sen
tences that had been imposed by the
mayor, though a number of other
matters were up for attention.
Some bills for goods that had been
bought by chairmen of some of the
committees provoked considerable
discussion, and at one time it seemed
as if they would not be approved by
the finance committee. They were
finally ordered paid after being held
up two or three days.
Mayor Broke a Tie.
A motion was made that Alder
man McNulty, the chairman of the
water and light committee, be em
powered to employ all of the force
needed in operating the plant, and
a substitute was offered that the
council elect all of the city’s em
ployes. The vote on the substitute
was a tie, and Mayor Marlin cast his
vote for it, which means that the
council will elect all employes of the
department.
Dr. J. G. Dean appeared before the
council and made complaint of the
alleged bad sanitary condition of the
old frame building on the east side
of his brick storehouse, and stated
that water off of it runs down along
the side of his property, leaks into
his cellar and is causing the brick
walls to sink into the earth. The
complaint was referred to the health
committee.
The city officials who had previous
1y been voted suits of clothes by the
council requested that the body ap-
Ppropriate such sums as it was willing
to pay for uniforms and let the offi
cers buy their own suits. It was de
cided to allow $2O for each uniform.
Aldermen Davis, Lowrey and Mec-
Nulty were appointed a committee to
inspect the public hacks of the city
before they are licensed for the pres
ent year.
DEATH OF MRS. TYURNER.
Followed Her Life Companion to the
Long Rest After Six Days,
Mrs. W. H. Turner died at her
home on College avenue at 9 o'clock
on Tuesday morning of last week,
following her aged husband and life
companion, who passed away on De
cember 30th, to the grave in just
six days. She was 78 years of age,
had been ill for sometime, and her
death had been expectea for several
days.
Mrs. Turner had long been a con
sistent member of the Baptist church,
and her life illustrated all of the
fine qualities of true womanhood.
The interment occurred in Cedar
Hill cemetery Wednesday morning,
Revs. N. B. O’Kelley and M. B. L.
Binion performing the last sad rites.

A NEW MERCANTILE FIRM.
Messrs. T. S, and G. B. Martin Suc
ceed Mr. J. W. F. Lowrey.
| Messrs. T. S. and G. B. Martin,
‘who recently purchased the stock of
!y‘(mds of Mr. J. W. F. Lowrey, as
recently noted in The News, have
taken possession, and in an an
nouncement today solicit a share of
the public’'s patronage. They se
cured the stock at a price that will
enable them to give the public many
genuine bargains.
The Messrs. Martin are well
known and popular young men of
business integrity and experience,

the most up-to-date mercantile es

A o
COMMITTED WITHOUT BAIL.
General Stevens Held for Investiga

General Stevens, the negro who
killed his wife mnear Bronwood
Christmas eve night, was given a
commitment trial before Justice J.

action by the grand jury. |

was shot by the accidental discharge
of a pistol while they were playing.
HAVE YOU REGISTERED?
Under the New Law You Must Now
Register Six Months Before
You Can Vote. |
The News would again call the at
tention of the voters of Terrell coun
ty to the new election law, which
makes it necessary to register six
months previous to an election to be
qualified to vote therein.
This seems to be a regulation that
will bring about complications, and
one that will disqualify many good
voters. But that is neither here nor
there. It is now the law, and it is
incumbent upon voters who would
exercise suffrage to see that their
names are entered upon the registra
tion lists at the beginning of the
year if they would take part in elec
tions that may occur in that year.
The News man tried to register
under the new law a day or two
ago, but found that no books had
been provided for the purpose—at
least, there were none to be found
at any of the county offices where
they are usually kept. Tax Collec
tor Bowman said that he had not
been furnished with new registra
tion books, but that he would try
to find out whose duty it is to supply
them.
We do not know just whose duty
it is to provide these books, and we
call attention to the omission and
urge that the books be provided
without delay so that the voters can,
if they desire to do so, be ready to
vote in any election it may -possibly
be necessary to hold before the end
of the year.
