■bus. Thu Motion was made
by Mr. L. L. Jeskins and sec
onded by Mr. T. W. Wilson,
. The committee on renting the
farm lor 1906 reported that it
bad been ranted again to Mr.
—. —. Johnson fee $135 stand
ing rent.
On motion of Mr. I» L Jen
klns,;;'seconded by Mr. T. W.
Wilson, the reqncst of W. P.
Marshall to bsild an annex to
bis present building on Mala
•tract on the weat aide, next to
the residence of Mr. J R.
Warren, wu denied
fine o! $5 against James
Pettee was remitted.
_ The proposition of Mr. fid
Long to famish the material for
* sewer line from the intersec
tion of Airline street and Oak
land Arena* to bis residence on
Long street, provided the town
furnish thg isbo,, was accepted.
Aldermen Jackson and Wilson
wen appointed a committee to
frnj from Mr. J. B. Boyd * lot
adjoining tbe cemetery.
Kits to the amount of $1,063,
» were ordered paid.
[The request of Mr. W. P.
Marshall related to a metal cov
ered building that would increase
the fire risk of no adjacent prop
arty. Hot a member of tbe
board contended that the erec
tion of such a building la tbe
fire limits was against tbe law
and Could not be permitted.
Tbe members who expressed
themselves based their opposi
tion upon other alleged reasons,
evesy on* of which was so trans
parently inconsistent, illogical,
unsound or irrelevant as to be
aboard. The moat anthmsiastic
opposition seamed to come from
Mr. L. I*. Jenkins, one of whose
objections eras that such a build
ing would be "unsightly on
Main street.” Tbe objection
wm ui oiua*
tel inattention to the fact that
Mr. Jenkins is himself Main
street’s champion eye-sore mag
nate, for though a man of ample
means and ampler resources be
is responsible for the presence
in the eery heart of Main street
of more tin-shacks end eye-sores
than everybody else pot together,
—properties which yield a scr
een* of $70 or $75 e month, sod
which are sot to be composed
is respectable appearance with
the barn he keepe his hoesea in.
One of the frame metal build
ings in question exposes Hi one
of the most public places on
Main street or in the whole
town hi big squawking letters
the sign—"Por women - Wins of
Cerda!If ha objects to un
sightliness on Mate street, be
eight to go there this morning
and obliterate that sign. But
gracious! He’ll pot do it—ball
never mb out "Wine of Cantei”;
fc’a "fat woman," yon know.
The petitioner’s request was a
tnty to the spirit of the lew, and
it was preaeated rcapcetfally. If
could have been granted without
barm to the town or violence to
—J alderman’s oath of oflee.

a colored boy Clint Korney was
struck by the second section of
tbe Southern train No. 36
Wednesday morning at the
water tank crossing and tbe
horse was killed, the wagon
completely demolished and the
driver seriously though not
fatally injured. The wagon was
coming across the track from
Air Line street; the driver did
oot see or hear the ttain which
was coming in town at a very
high speed, so high that
the train did not stop until it
reached the depot. The horse
was struck almost squarely
amidship by the pilot of the
engine and was carried about 90
feet and thrown to the right of
the track; the horse did aot
groan or move, being killed in
stantly. The wagon and driver
were thrown to tbe left, the boy's
head falling abont two inches
from the left rsil, his cap being
gTouod under the wheels of the

np tbe boy and carried him to
bis office at ToTTcnce’s drug

dressed and from the latest re
ports he was getting along fairly
well. Policeman Louis Kerr
saw the whole occurrence and en
deavored by shouting and wav
ing his arms in front of the wag
on to tnrn the boy back as be
had turned the ice wagon back,
bat in vain.
