IMPORTANT MEETING OF ALDERMEN.
No Near Boer Licenses Issued. Imple
ment ot Streets. Under Consideration.
Having called up Stahle Linn,
Es;i.. clerk of the Boaidof Alder
me t, he informed us that the fol
lowing is substantially a correct
report of the meeting of the Board
held Thursday night :
Captain of police, G. H. Shav
er, asked the board to pay for a
dog which belonged to J. W. Hall.
killed through mistake by the po
hcemen. Mr. Hall was present
and stated that he paid $10.00 for
the dog last November. In the
regular order of business the mat
ter was referred to the city attor
ney.
N. B. McCanless appeared be
fore the board and asked relief
from the whistling of railroad en
gmes along the road near his
home and the homes of others in
that community. He presented
a petition from the citizens in his
vicinity . aud declared the
whistling was a nuisance. The
board agreed to take- the matter
up with the Southern.
Complaint was filed againBt se
veral homes on South Lee
street between Fisher and Bank
on account of lack of sewer con
nection. These being in the com
pulsory district the proprietors
were ordered to connect.
It was reported that a represent
ative of the company putting
down the bithulithic streets would
he here in a few days to examine
it aud make repairs where needed.
The city has a guarantee contract
with the company to keep it up
for fiva years.
Dr. J. E. Stokes offered through
the street committee to pay for
the Btone to macadamize Liberty
street, by the sanatorium, from
Fulton to Jackson, if the city
would do the work. On motion
he proposition was accepted.
On motion the sidewalk on
Council street from the comer of
Church, at the Baptist church, tc
Jackson, was ordered fixed as soon
as the city street force can go to
it. (The street force, is now at
work improving the sidewalk.)
It having been reported that
automobiles are being run through
the streets beyond the .speed limit,
it was ordered that the officers ar
rest any person caught violating
the ordinance.
It was ordered that Cemetery
street be opened across the Rail
road, in East Ward. Mr. Linn
was directed to notify the South
ern of this aotion.
Action was taken to open Lib
erty street from Jackson to
Church, and the cemetery com
mittee was directed to help in the
work. In doing this it will be
necessary to pass through the old
Negro cemetery and probably a
number of bodies will have to be
moved .
It was reported that the coun
ty commissioners would put down
macadam on West Innes Street to
the boundary line if the city
would furnish the rock. The
matter was discussed and contin
ued until next meeting. This
street becomes almost impassible
in the winter and something
should be done. It would be a
greatjpity to macadamize and curb
this street without first getting it
straightened. It can be done
now at a great deal lets cost than
at any time in the future.
A motion to reconsider the ac
tion of the board in raising the
license on near-beer from 300 to
500 was lost. No license for the
sale of near-beer had been issued

the street. This was a mistake,
Mr. Corl having remained at the

took place early Friday moraine.

Remedies are Needed
Were we perfect, whicli we are not, medicines would
not often be needed. But since our systems have be
come weakened, impaired and broken down through
indiscretions which have gone on from the early ages,
through countless generations, remedies are needed to
aid Nature in correcting our inherited and otherwise
acquired weaknesses. To reach the seat of stomach
weakness and consequent digestive troubles, there is
nothing, so good as Dr. Pierce's Golden Medical Discov
ery, a glyceric compound, extracted from native medic
inal roots sold for over forty years with great satisfaction to all users. For
Weak Stomach, Biliousness, Liver Complaint, Pain in the Stomach after eating,
Heartburn, Bad Breath, Belching of food, Chronic Diarrhea and other Intestinal
uerangements, the Uiscovery" is a time-proven and most efficient remedy.
