GENTLEMEN OF TDK CITY (’O' NOIL: The First year of your Adminis tration having drawn to a close and as we now enter upon another, I feel it my duty to give to von my views on subjects of general pub lie interest. Before proceeding fur tiler it is my pleasure to thunk you heartily for your kiial support and •co-operation in all matters during the past year which looked to the •advancement socially, morally and financially of our city. One lias hut to look around and note the many improvements that have tak en place during the past twelve months. Many of the old land marks have.disappearcd, and in their stead new ideas of the present age have tqkcn their places. The plat forms are no more, but few of the sheds are left, and 1 hope their -dav will he short. Electricity lias ■been substituted for the oil lamp which l as proved a great blessing to our people and I hope your dili gence will not lag in advancing our ■city in every manner during 18!H. Let the waste places he improved, streets he beautified; all of which will have a tendency to cause new homes t<> he built, and our popula tion to increase. Finances. First is our financial standing. As you know when entering upon your* duties, you found a debt standing, amounting to forty nine hundred dollars; during the year taxes have been more closely col lected. and more promptly paid, and each obligation promptly met. The debt now due amounts to forty- five hundred dollars, and it is my hope and desire to liquidate most, if not all of it, during the present year, which will he grati fying news to the tax payers, and to you. By a unanimous vote of our people you were authorized to issue twenty two thousand dollars worth of Bonds, ten thousand of • -nine being a donation to the -Girls Normal ai.d Industrial school, twelve thousand was loaned the same, to be return* d to the city. The walls of this institution each -lav grows larger, and i:i a few years The (iirls Normal and In dustrial School will he a great Messing to your state, and a source of much pride toour city. We should throw around it every fostering •arc. as it is a sister to our Middle Georgia Military and Agricultural College which bus proved such a blessing to our community and the -tale at large. The interest upon the twenty-two thousand dollars worth of bonds amounts to $1820.00, per. annum, donation Middle (Jeorr gia Military and Agricultural Col lege $2 100.1 0. Eddy school for the colored $500.00. Making a Dotal to (Education of$8,820.00, which 1 con- skier a good investment for our vity, you will find the amount of t he year's appropriat ions on t he list ••submitted, and would recommend tlrxt you mukc | revision to meet same." J would call your at ten ♦ion to the colored college now •about to be located in some portion of our state. ()t;r colored citizens have asked that your honorable body take some action in making a donation, provided the school is : kx-aled here. A donation of five ■thousand dollars In bonds would call for an interest i f three hun- GtvnI per year at (1 per. cent. Which would be "a small investment to ob tain an institution that would add considerable wealth to our city. And l would recommend that your honorable body give the matter •oarefulaml prompt consideration. (if course, hefore anything delinate could be done, the people by a vote would have to give their consent to the issue of these Bonds, but I believe our people will gladly do so by a large vote favorable to the issue. The only resource you have now to meet your obligations is though the medium of taxation; as the city •grows the expenses will increase. It lias never been the custom to make appropriations for the ditfer- *iiit departments, but I think it would be well to do so. '1 he act providing for city assessors, 1 con sider a very wise one. The inn ease ■of returnable property the past year over previous years are large ly due to the slips upon which taxes were returned, combined with the watchful eye of our city clerk, Mr. <jeo. Caraker, in which he was sus tained by the gentlemen who you wisely selected us city Assessors. Taking the past year's receipts and -disbursements as a basis for the present year J would recommend as follows: •On Real Estate returns per. cent 8,800.00 On Gross Sales 2,000 00 Special taxes 0.000.00 Incidentals 850.00 17,050.00 DISBURSEMENTS. •Salaries 4,010.00 •Streets A Drains 2,500.00 Lights 1.500.00 Interest on Bonds A schools 8,820.00 Charity 800.00 Incidentals 800.00 Debt Due Bank 4,500.00 Total appropriations for 180117,480.00 If you should decide to adopt this course, 1 hope each department will keep within its bounds, and, while the strictest economy should be observed in all departments, yet there are some thut 1 would call your attention toin particular, that should be more amply provided for. CKMKTBRY. The city of our dead! There rests our beloved ones. Its beauty each year should he carefully guarded, alul such provisions made as will beautify its walks and avenues. There the ladies go to look after their love I ones, and keep green their graves. Old trees crumbling from age, liable to fall at any time and do much damage, they should be done away with, and young trees set out in their places. I would re commend that a dividing fence he placed between the white anil color ed and that closets be built in each: that a survey he made and a map | of the same he placed with the city clerk. Mr. Tobe Caraker lifts been faithful in the discharge of his duties during the past year, but the task of keeping the cemetery in good shape is too great for one man, and 1 xvouhl recommend that he he allowed one hand to assist him. It is not necessary for me to call your attention to the dilapida • ted condition of our city hearse. Some provision should be made. I would recommend that the under takers or Livery stables be allowed t he privilege* of taking that part of the labor from the city, provided they would vastly improve upon the present which could he easily done. STREETS AND DRAINS. 1 have •endeavored during the present year to substitute Stevens’ piping for all wooden drains, it may cost a little more, hut they are more lasting and cheaper in the end. The means at our command are not suf ficient to keep tip our streets as they should he. Our force is not large enough to mppt the demand. Under the supervision of our effi cient street overseer, Mr. Andrew Walls, good work has been done, his hands have proved faithful in the discharge of their duties. New brick walks are badly needed in the business portion of our city and should be attended to at once; but before laying them, the cellar doors should be abolished or something substituted in their place, as they are uu eve-sore, dangerous to trav elers, things of the past. OUR KIRK DEPARTMENT. The past year our city has been blessed. No fires of any note oc curring; only twice has the fire bell sounded the dread alarm, and well it lias been so, for 1 consider, no matter how willing and prompt our department may respond yet they are without the necessary means to do good work. Our En gine is old and almost useless, even if water should he sufficient. Our Chief, Mr. G. T. Whilden, has ever held himself ready to do his duty. It is my pleasure to assure you that' ere another twelve months have passed, our city will he fortified with plenty of water, which will prove a protection to our homes and our property, and insure for our people for drinking purposes the greatest blessing we can ask, which is health and happiness. The invigorating air combined with the zephyr breezes, that daily waft over our hills and through our valleys, combined with pure water, should certainly make us feel that we are favored with God's choicest bless ings; and same will have a tendency to increase our population and wealth. o THE BOARD OF HEALTH. You were certainly wise in mak ing your selections. There is not a more important interest than that of the public health. Dr. Harris, the chairman, with his faithful as sistants, has done much good. Mr. Andrew Walls, who acted as health officer, carried out faithfully all or ders given him. Our citizens owe them manv thanks for the cleanly and healthy condition of our city daring the past year. We have tXvo sewers that need some atten tion; one lies on Greene street be tween Liberty and Wilkinson and the other on square between Wayne and Wilkinson streets. CHARITY. I think some provision should be made to take care of the sick and poor. It is a duty resting upon us to do so. I have had occasion sev- ural times during the past year to realize the necessity of a Hospital on a small plan,and i would like if you could devise sonic means by which the helpless could he provided for. CITY OFFICERS. 1 am pleased to state that the city officers, during the past year, have been prompt, faithful and al ways alert to the discharge of their duties. Our police have been dili gent in keeping order and preserv ing the peace. In no instance have they shirked their duties From the ranks of our force there lias passed away a good man, a good citizen and a faithful officer. To r. W. J. Owens we owe much gratitude. Faithfully he guarded their homes and protected their property for fif teen long years, in heat and in cold. Like the sentinel of old,he was ever found at the post of duty. Respectfully submitted, P. J. * LINE, Mayor. On motion the subject matter con tained was referred to appropriate committees.

The negroes of the southern states and in the West Indies, where the men and women arc in the liabit of carry ing heavy burdens balanced on their heads, have tlio shoulders of gods and goddesses, and they walk erect, with a graceful swing straight from the hips, and not from the knees, as so many 'hurrying, worrying city folk do. Their heads are well up, their arms are nat urally disposed of, and are not a nuis ance to them. The society i>eoplo havo seen the dig nity of* labor in this particular, and many girls are put through a similar course of training in order to cure them of ronnd shoulders, and give them a commanding carriage, and teach them to walk and not waddlo or shuffle into a drawing room. Some of the hauteur of New York's “400” may also be thus hereditarily accounted for.
