His masterly reading of Longfellow's "King Robert of Sicily" and his" gripping rendition of Poe'e '"Raven" to the' musical ac companiment by Arthur Bergh are also worthy of special mention. His devoted study and extraordi narily musical and resonaat vol of great carrying power; distinct en unciation, sympathetic - insight and broad culture serve to make him con spicuous in his chosen field of song and poetry. , ; .The local society some time ago undertook the task of improving the grounds of the graded school proper ty in this city and also adorn the walls of the school rooms with a lot of nice pictures. This was expensive and the ladies incurred a considera ble debt In carrying out this work. The entertainment is given for the benefit of the society to secure funds to meet this debt WILL JOT RUN PASTIME MORE ANY Mr. A. K. Kramer has given up the ilea of continuing the Pastime the atre and is now engaged in removing the furniture and fixtures from th? building.

GOODBYE A UNTY : i ."A NORFOLK. "MM lo Jr. O. U. A. M. HOLD MEMORIAL SERVICES ' ';. The memorial services of Worth Bagley Council No. 60 Jr. O. U, A. M. were. -held Sunday afternoon at 3 o'clock at Blackwell Memorial church. The members of the order assembled in the lodge room, formed a procession and marched to the church In a body. Rev. EL F. Saw yer, one of the most effective and influential members of the body was called upon to preside over the serv ices. This council was established nearly fourteen years ago. Rev. E. F. Sawyer being the fin, council aad it has grown to ' be the largest order in the city. - The services at the church were of a very high char acter, consisting of music by the choir of Blackwell Memorial church. The principal memorial address by Hon. R. W. Turner was very appro priately delivered. Rev. I. N. Loftin presented In a few words very forc ibly some of the principles of the order; Virtue, Liberty and Patriot ism. The requirements of the or der in the reading of the Bible was done by the presiding officer. We feel that this service was ben eficial to all present and those who were so fortunate as to be present were fully Impressed with the high aim and progress for which this or der stands. .SHERIFF AFTER TAXES SiierifT Reid and his deputy are down after the tax payers for the tax cs for this sear. It takes a powerful lot of money to ru:t this government, countyand statn and Sheriff Held has a pretty hard time setting it, too. The aver age tax payer freezes to his money and will not turn it aloose until he has to. Some folks seem to think that taxes are the last thing that ought to be paid,, and this belief or action on the part of the tax payers U what' gives the sheriff hideous night mares. 'There is no reason," says the sheriff, " why the people should not come along with their tax money while they have got it and save themselves a lot of trouble la ter on." Sheriff Reid want the tax payers of the county to regard his appeal for tax money aad pay up without trouble. Anothe SEVERAL MATTERS OF UNUSU A I, INTEREST DISCUSSED LAST MONDAY NIGHT -MAYOR FLORA AGGRESSIVE The board of aldermen held a very Interesting session last Monday night 11. Mcnig ma tcguiar muutuiy bishbiuu. aii or . iiie aldermen were present and a good size crowd of interested spectators were also on. hand. ; Can Collect $15,000. ' The committee which had been ap pointed to . ascertain just how much Of the street paving-money can be collected from the property owners in payment of their assessment of the cost of paving the streets adjoin- ing their property, reported that $15,- 000 could be collected at once. The charter which authorized the town to issue bonds in he sum of $120,000 to pave the. streets, also pro- vided that the property owners on each side of the street shall pay orie fourth, making: one-half of , the amount expended by the city; col- lectable out of the citizens.; The charter gives the property, holders five years', time to pay thia assess- ment in It is the purpose of the board to col lect as much of the money as pos sible to keep the street paying going on. Those who pay now escape the six per cent Interest imposed upon the deferred payments. . t- ; On motion, thd salary of the assls- tat-lice- was .raise.l flye dollars. Thia raise does not include thi chief of police whose salary is ; fixed by " . . ? ' ''. Must Pay One-thlrd ef Sidewalks : It was ordered by the board that thi property owner are to pay only feuse eucn officer, br other employee one-third of the cost of paving the shall be dismissed from office. , ' -sidewalks of their property, instead - (b)! It shall be unlawful for any of one-half as heretofore. ' V O. W. Switaer ft Son were awarded the contract to pave the sidewalks j in gravolithlc pavement at 90 cents per square yard. I Poindexter street, on the east side from Main street to Burgess street and the west side from Main street j to Poindexter creek bridge, aad the I west side of Water street from Fear- ing to Matthew street, was ordered paved. , Wants Ehringhau Street Paved j Mr. Love, of the board of aldermen, wanted to make a motion that Eh ringhaus street shall be paved. When he mentioned paving Ehring haus street, he struck a saag. for the mayor was opposed to any such I acUon, regarding it as a foolish waste of money. The motion was put before the board, however, and a number of the aldermen, Mr. M. N. Sawyer, leading, asked to be ex- en.! from voHne. . Mr. Sawver stat- ed that he had tio wish to evade an issue: but that before learning the situation fully he had prpmised to support Mr. Love's motion. Four or fivo voted for the motion and one a- gainst iL Mayor Flora then vetoed Ti,,.r .,.oo tlon sa to whether the motion was carried over the. mayor's vetoe or not, ;iobo.ly seeming to know whether it wmil.i take two-thlrda of all tho aldermen or two-thirds of those vot ing, to over-ride the mayor's veto. In the midst of this discussion Mr. Com mander asked to be allowed to with draw his vote, in view of the fact that go many members had refused to vote. Meeting with denial, he pro" poed a motion to reconsider, which was carried. ' and the question was dropped. Mr. Love's contention wag that Ehringhaus street needed paving more than some that have been pav ed. We are inclined to the opinion that he was right Williams Still on the Job The case of officer Dan Williams came up before the board for settle ment Officer Williams is the latest addition to the nolle force. A rlcht i good fellow, too, bat he gets draok; HOLD , IMPORTANT" MEETING - C" or, at least he got drunk," and the trouble with Williams Is, whea he gt-ts drunk he can't attend to his own business. He thinks (or rather thought on this particular occaslea) that every body was drunk but hisa self, and he was trying to run peace rni t law-abidiag citizens in when frends took.hlm ff the street. I gomo of the aldermen demanded that officer Williams should be sua mended for 30 days In accord aace with the ordinance published below; but .Mayor . Flora- showed his execu tive authority again and said, "No, officer Williams s on the noUce force and he is going to stay there,1 or words to that effect. ' The ak derinen whb remembered the ease monlous air assumed only four et five months ago when the whiskey drinking ordinance was passed as a' thrust at the retiring police ' foaee, demanded the enforcement of. the er- dlnaace for the sake of decency aa ror the appearance, at least of slstency, but Mayor Flora said "Ne," anJ the aldermen had to - cave which they did after considerable j mouthing, about It; and it's reported again that an alderman has three Jened to resign over this. The following is that part of the new ordinance passed by the present board concerning o flenses such as officer -Williams stands convicted ef: City Officer Conduct Regulated Sec. 10-a. It shall be unlawful er any public officer or employee of ae pity to -be under the Influence ef - rhlaWav Viaa ' a,a.KAAi jmiMn i LlZ Z: " .-..w. w " J7' I nendd from dnti wlthnnt -Tmv far , th ds, (or .e erst offense.' and for .the second ef- nubile officer or fcmnkrvee of the city to drink near-beer, or Madted drink or any other ; intoxicating .1. quorg iB B near-beer saloon "or any "' other public place while on duty aad lBUCh officer so offending shall on she sTat offence be suspended from dutr, wthout pay, for thirty day and for the second offence such officer or eta, er employe shall 1e dismissed t&m ofijee.
