and the rings for a few dollars, and
that he bought tho watch, thinking It
a cheap affair, and tho other things
both thought so valueless that they
were thrown Into the trade for tha
watch. Ho aaya h# can prfiv# thl».
and that he la not to be held for this
robbery, and that Henry Is the boy
who went Into tho storo and robbed It.

ho has been confined since being com
mitted tor tho shoe robbery, and taken
to tho police station yesterday, and
will be given a hearing thla morning

WHAT COUNCIL
WILLJWORK ON
At Its Regular Meeting Tonight—An
nexation and th# Poplar 8tre*t
Park Matteri
The meeting of the mayor and coun
cil tonight will be one of Importance
Tha transcript from the records of
Bibb superior court a* to the annexa
tlon will be received, and an ordinance
In conformity therewith will probably
be passed,.to be followed by a proc
lamation by Mayor Miller announcing
the fact that the new territory Ja now
a part and parcel of Macon.
Another Important matter will be
the motion to reconsider the acMoo of
the last meeting In reference to tho
parka on Poplar street. At the la*t
meeting Alderman Mayer gave notice
that he would make such a motion,
which. If carried will place thepark
matter Just where it waa before the
(parka were before the report of Uie
committee on' public property was
adopted. It therefore depends on what
the council will do in the event the
motion to reconsider Is carried. It la
said that a motion to postpone any
action until the first of May will be
made, and with a prospect of Its being
carried. On the other hand it la said
that some of the members of council
think the matter should b« disposed of
new, one way or the other. They
say If the grassing of the parks Is
left until May, there will be a further
postponement and the parks will be
grfissed. Then there are some who
think the council should say right out
that the parks will remain as they are
so that the country people will not be
frightened off and not come to Ma
con. At any rate, it Is likely that
some kind of action will be taken.
The finance committee have beer*
wrestling with the telephone frrvt-
chlse ordinance, and It Is said that an
agreement between the city and the
tolephono people Is near at hand; the
difference now being whether th city
should Insert In the franchise the max
imum prlc*' to ho charged f-<r Me-
phoncs. Whether or not the report
will bo ready foe tonight la not known.
These, It Is understood, are the prin
cipal matters to be acted on tonight.
