Ordinance presented by Mr. J. H. Reynolds to amend present liquor license ordinance was re ferred to the ordinance commit tee. Board of the public schools of the city of Rome, by one of its members and its secretary, pre sented a report and requested the council to provide $15500,00 for the city schools and requested that a levy be made of 1-5 of 1 % on the total taxable property of the city for the purpose of raising portion of said amount . Upon motion of R. A. Denny the council declined to accede to this recommendation, for the reason that the portion of the act of 1897 which purports to authorize the Board of Trustees of public schools of Ro ne to fix the tax rate of the city for school purposes is unconstitutional, because the act referred to. does not state for what purpose the tax is to be levied. The council resolved to provide for the public schools by their levy and appro priation as heretofore under the act authorizing the schools. The Finance Committee re ported the totrl taxable property of the city to be $4,851,349. Upon their report the council estimated that the receipts from all sources for the present fiscal year will be as follows : From Realty and Personalty tax $54577.00 From License 17000.00 From Street tax 1400.00 From Police Fines 1240 i 0 FromCetne'ery 400.00 From S ate School fund and tuition.... 0270 00 i rotn water works coupons 175 00 To .al $81962 00 And macle the following ap propriations : l Cemetery SIOOO.OO Contingent 2412.00 Coupons.; ’. 14590.00 Fire 9000 00 Gas and Light 7500 00 Police 1350.60 Pub.

Craaaby, of 158 Kerr St., Memphis, Tenn., says that his wiff paid uo attention to a small lump which appeared in her breast, but it soon de veloped into a cancer of the worst type, and notwithstanding the treatment oi the best physicians, it continued to spread and grow rapidly, eating two holes in her breast. The doctors soon pronounced her incurable. A celebrated New York l&a specialist then treat- Fl vs ed her, but- she con- v/ tinned to grow worse gP*' and when informed that both her aunt » and grandmother had died from cancer he ? ave t * ie case u ? as /J hopeless. < Someone then re- •*' commended S.S.S. and though little hope remained, she begun it, and an improvement was no ticed. The cancer commenced to heal and when she had taken several bottles it disappeared entirely, and although sev eral years have elapsed, not a sign oi the disease has ever returned.
