Various objection# to the proposed tied debt for waterworks and sew- purposcs can be heard. Some eot to the purchase of the Wight id Commerce street wells, some ob- to issuing bonds for so large an amount as $100,000, while there are others who are afraid $100,000 will not be enough, and others still who object on general principles, or for reasons Whioh, If followed out, would be found to have their origin In prejudice. Although the proposition sub mitted to the voters of the city on Tuesday was to authorize the Issuance of bonds to the amount of $100,000, It Is more than probable that a'complete system of waterworks and such sow- erage as the c|ty needs for the present can be put in for a good deal less than that amount of money. It certainly can be done if tho sanitary sowerage is confined for the present to the bust- t urns or orpwdcd part of the city. Will the Mayor and Council do this? ;• 1 , Tim Hkuald heard this question asked yosterday, and heard It said at the same that If such a course upon the part of the City Fathers could be assured it would re- movo the only objection that some good , citizens had to urge against voting for the bonds. Hero It occurred to tho representative of Tim IIkiut.o that the best way to flhd out what tho Mayor and Oounoll proposed to do was to go and nsk them, And he did gr, and hero Is what they, said: Mayor Gilbert s “While I am satis fied It would be better to sower tho city as far south as State street nud north to Residence street, still to harmonize and settle the water works and sowerage question, I see no objections to sewering only so muoh of the business portion of the city ns will not in any way affect tho loloncy of the system as made by r. Chase. In my opinion It Is very tleocsBary for the welfare of our citi zens that tho system should be perfect id would bo far better not to put iwn any at all, If tho system Is to be damaged thereby, t am opposed to compelling our citizens In resident purtlons of the city to conncot with and use sewerage, for the enjoyment of suoli luxuries should be left to their own wIsIiob and preference’’ Alderman Clark said: "If election for bonds Is carried, my Idea Is to put In a complete system of waterworks as early as praotioablc. Put, In sewurage In business portion of town. Not to float any more bonds than Is ’abso lutely necessary to pay for work as It progresses." Alderman Gunnison, who, was shcfwn what Alderman Clark had said, said: Hark has expressed my views there exactly, and I authorize you to Just ilgn my name to It.” Alderman Cassidy expressed hltn- if thus s “My Idea Is, as it al ways has been, to spend Just as little ^&f the $100,000 as possible, the city • doing tho work Itself nnd Issuing ds to meet the expenses as de- by the progress of the work, do not need sewerage all over city, and I am in favor of confin ing the sewerage for sanitary purposes to what is fieoessary for the city for tho present.” “Alderman Lockett said: “My un derstanding all the time has been that we were proceeding on the basis of $100,000 ns tho maximum amount, and that we are to pay ns we go and Issue only the bonds neccssnry, stop ping as far short of the $100,000 au thorized ns possible.” Alderman Jones said: “Why, of course wo don’t expect to throw out nn ; issue of $100,000 in bonds ull at once. | Wo want a good system of waterworks it will supply the whole city first, ygnd then suoli sanitary sewerage only ! as tho present needs of the city, with due regard for health nnd cleanliness, demand.” Alderman Weslosky could not be found by the scribe, and wo will not, therefore, take the liberty of quoting him, though we are satisfied that he is I in full accord with the balance of the Council m the safe and conservative course to which they have committed themselves. And Items ef Fn.Iiion to Interest Onr I«ndr Renders. ALBANY WEEKLY Nearly every Sunday finds a delega tion of young men from Albany look ing after certrin Important Interests In Dawson. Whereferef To be sure, there are many pretty girls in Dawson, but so there are at home. Visit the various dress making es tablishments of the city and see the amount of work plied up on tables and chairs, that must be out by Chau tauqua time. Dresses for town folks, dresses for ladies from the country nnd dresses for ladles in other towns. No wonder there Is a aessatlon of social pleasures before Chautauqua. A lady could not get her wardrobe Into shape for that momentous occas ion without giving her time anfi close attention to it for several weeks be. fore It Is upon us. A lady who had worried, herself hys' tcrlcal over, two or three dresses that would obstinately persist In having the effect that they were not Intended' to have, exclaimed that civilized life was a failure anyhow, and for her part she wished she'were a heathen. Fashionable and becoming dressing Is an art, and she of the slender purse who keeps up to tithe with the .giddy flight.of Dame Fashion does it nt the expense of muoh vexation of spirit ns well ns oareful planning. Weddings and'wcddingsl The lo'oal nowspapers will need to establish a matrimonial column to give space for all themarrlnge notices and wedding news of tho spring. . A prominent young business man will take unto himself a partner for better or for worse on the 10th of this month, and one of the falreBt of our girls will say the few words that will sottlo her destiny and give her the privilege of chnperon|,ng parties, on tho 0th of April. Speaking of weddings reminds us of a pretty oostume that the wardrobe of last Tuesday’s brido contained, It was of an exquisite shade of tan lledford oord, and trimmed with - a heavy white corduroy. Tho gentlemen about town have gone wild over the new union depot, now that It Is n sure thing. That is all right, but the ladles’ turn will oome when the Opera House plans are In the hands of the builders, or when it Is completed nnd they are preparing forthededlcatlon. The musiolans of the Baptist churoh are already looking over their music, making a few selections nnd getting themselves In trim to prepnre some thing extra in that line for the' dedi cation of their new churoh. Invitations have been received in Macon to the marriage of Miss Fannie Rudisill, of Forsyth, to Mr. Alex W. Bonier, Macon correspondent of the Atlanta Journal. ‘The marriage will be consummated at the Baptist church on the evening of the 15th at fi o’clock. Miss Rudisill is Well known in Macon and is cultivated and refined, with many cbatmlng womanly traits, that will be sure to make , for the man so fortunate its to win, a life of sweet contentmen$. Mr. Alex W. Sealer is one of the best known men In Georgia' journalism, and for a number of years has been one of the leading members Of the Journal staff. For the past few months Mr. Bealer has made Macon Ills home. Mrs. O. M. Clark will probably en. tertnln two young Indy friends during Chautauqua.

On the oontrary, they sacrifice every thing else for the Guards drills, nnd consider themselves fortunate to be able to do so. Germans will certainly lnugulsh for a time on account of it. Mrs. Lou Warren expects to go down to DeWitt to-day for a few dnys rest and a pleasant visit to friends there. The latest and daintiest of whims is a supplement to fancy stationery In the form of a little pad of the finest nnd softest of Jnpanese tissue paper, exactly the size of a half sheet of note paper. The paper is white, nnd lias stamped in one corner a single flower in the natural color, sometimes shaded or outlined in gold. After writing n letter she tears off on o f the tissue sheets amt rolls it into the least pos sible compass and drops upon it enough perfume to dampen it thor oughly, using, of course, the perfume of the flower stamped on the paper. When some admiring friend receives the letter there is likely to flutter out ns he opens it something very much resembling a butterfly, and breathing charming suggestions in its dainty perfume.—Augusta Chronicle. Mr. A. W. Bealer, whose intended marriage is chronicled In the follow ing item clipped from the Macon News, is a relative of Dr. W. L. Davis, of this city, and has been an occas ional visitor to Albany: D: SATURDAY. MARCH 12, 1892. Did you ever know so long a rest, so complete a rest, as giddy 'young Society has had this spring! Nothing of especial interest as'yet, but an occassona! neighborhood tea- drinking, Our young people have not had energy enough yet to even get up a crowd to see t,be Klckapoo Indian show. But wait a few days, longer .uptil Chautauqua enlivens the town, then things .will buzz.

Indeed, you may expect no rest for two weeks after It is passed, for lively Mfds Pleasure -does not settle down sd easily to hum-drum existence after having her own sweet way for n time.
