M. W. Floyd and J. D. McMillan, to gether with Messrs. W. J. Pre vatt and J. L, Stephens, were appointed a committee to have charge of the work. This special meeting was called and this action was taken in response to a peti tion signed by 122 citizens and tax-payers of the town request ing the commissioners to install at once some suitable and con- , vcuieiii iuiiei.3 J.ui me use in uie 'general public. This petition stated that it was an absolute necessity, that other towns hav ing water works had made such provision and that it was nothing but right that money raised by public taxation should be expend ed in making this necessary pro vision for the public welfare. Last Thursday afternoon Mr. K. M. Biggs began circulating a petition asking that this step be taken, and some refused to sign, holding that since an ordinance requires water works to be put in private homes that mei chants should be required to put in i toilets, which would solve the ian: ine course ot study win be rearranged so that almost a whole year's work will be added. This will necessitate a change in all the grades. Pupils will do well to do some reviewing before school opens in order that they may take as high grade as pos sible.
