At a called meeting of the city 1 council held last Friday night a | resolution was passed calling on the people of Vidalia to immedi ately put their premises in a san j itary condition. It is necessary that this precaution be taken if Vidalia is to maintain its reputa tion for good and there itrre ail - citizens' are 'urged “to' make a general cleaning up of their premises. The sanitary committee oi council will make an inspection of the city on May Ist, and all those who have not placed their premises in a sanitary condition will be given official notice to do' ,so. This is a wise step, and we trust that every citizen will aid in making Vidalia a thoroughly sanitary town. Work Is (ommenced . On Baseball M Construction work has been commenced on an enclosed base ball park and grand stand, which is to be erected near the ice fac tory by Messrs. Adams & May, and it is to be completed soon. The diamond will be clayed, the stumps removed from the entire park and the graad stand will be a commodious structure. The boys are making arrangements for some games to be played here just as soon as the new park is completed. The establishment of this new enclosed park insures that Vida lia will have some good baseball games during the season. Here tofore it has been difficult to get good teams to come here, owing to the fact that there was no way to pay the expenses, except what was voluntarily given. Now, however, an admission will be charged, and as baseball is a pop | ular sport in Vidalia, it is a cor ! tainty that there will be no trou | ble in paying the expenses of vis iting teams. Messrs. Adams & May will also erect a concrete swimming j pool hear their ice factory, which I .. t v i is to be supplied wfh' lukewarm water from the ice Majat.

Company. FIRST OF ALL EVICTIONS. Magyar Version of the Expulsion From the Garden of Frier.. Among the folklore of the peas antry of Roumania and some of the adjoining Magyar states of eastern Europe is found the story of the ex pulsion of our first parents from the garden of Eden. It runs thus: When Adam and Eve fell, God sent Gabriel, the Magyar angel, to turn them out of Eden as a punish ment for their sin. Gabriel was re ceived most courteously, food and drink of the best being set before him. Now, Gabriel had a kind heart and took pity upon the poor folk and would not accept their hospital ity, remembering his errand. So he returned and begged that some one else bo sent to evict the sinners, as he really could not do it. Then Raphael, the Roumanian angel, urns sent and was received as Gabriel had been. He, however, was very fond of a good dinner, and so ho sat down and thoroughly enjoyed y —,,<• himself. TbdTeast over, he tofif| j y erring pair h» errand. They man «6gan to- weep most pitaMMTf, and beg for mercy. Their feig|HHM| row so. touched hie aftefq|Hy]p "Kef "100, asked that some one elsebeepj > he could not possibly tnra <wl poor folk after accepting their kefr pitality. Then it was that Michael, (the German angel, was sent. Bs was received as the ©then by the trembling pair and trea-, I even more sumptuously. He 'oat down and enjoyed himself till the last morsel o$ food hadi vanished and there wasn’t a drop of liquor left. Then he arose and, turning to his host and hostess, said, “Now, then, out you go, and be quick about it.” Most piteously did Adam and Eve beg at least for time, even remind ing him that he had partaken of their bread. All in vain. Tbns it. was that om first parents wers driven out of Eden. His Argument. "Dear.
