A Runaway.
Mondaymorning a rather exciting
r runaway occurred on South Main
street. A horse attached to a
bpggy in which Cal Long, who
lives south of town, aud a friend
named Bailey were riding, got
from, nnder the driver’s control
and started toward the court house
at a good spfced. In front of Bob
Wright’s residence both occupants
of the buggy were thrown to the
ground, however, sustaining no
serious injuries, and the horse kept
f On in his Afllght until an awning
post in f"out of the Conway-Leeper
lumber yard stopped him.
*The vehicle was badly damaged
by the sudden and violent contact
with the post. J

Front street was brought np. and
after some discussion was referred
to the street committee with power
to act.
The fire, police and other com-
mittees had no reports to make.
The Sandefer judgment com-
mittee asked for and was granted
more time.
The mayor stated that if the
ordinance governing the shooting
of fireworks during the holidays
was going to be suspended the
council would have to do it, for be
would, if left to him, refuse to do
so as he was opposed to it Norton
moved that they be suspended for
ten days but meeting with such
emphatic opposition, he substituted
therefor a motion making the time
extend from 6 o’clock on the even-
ing^ the 24th to 6 o'clock on the
evening of the 25th. This motion
carried with only two opposing
votes, they being those of Porter
and Armstrong.
An ordinance fixing the salary
of officers to be elected next year
was introdaced. The mayor’s
salary was fixed without any fight
at $240 per year payable monthly.
The fixing of the aldermens’ salaries
was not disposed of so readily,
however. Norton moved that it
be raised from $3 to $5 per month
and that it be made payable month-
ly. This was opposed by Arm-
strong and Porter, and the result
was a tie, Erwin, Norton, Barnhill
and Flinn voting aye, and Arm-
strong, McGrattoo, Porter and
Lowery voting nay. The mayor
voted with the negatives and killed
the motion. A motion to make
the salary payable monthly was
also lost, after which the old order
of $36 per year payable annually
was adopted.
Council adjourned.

families to Parker and make their

with the many advantages this

WEEDS
Consumption is a human
weed flourishing best in weak
lungs. Like other weeds it’s
easily destroyed while.young;
when old, sometimes im-
possible.
Strengthen tfie lungs as you
would weak land and the
weeds will disappear.
The best lung fertilizer is
Scott’s Emulsion. Salt pork
is good too, but it is very hard
to digest.
The time to treat consump-
tion is when youbegin trying
to hide it from yourself.
Others see it, you won’t.
Don’t wait until you can’t
deceive yourself any longer.
Begin with the first thought
to take Scott’s Emulsion. If
it isn’t really consumption so
much the better; you will soon
forget it and be better for the
treatment. If it is consump-
tion you can’t expect to be
cured at once, but if you will
begin in time and will be
rigidly regular in your treat-
ment you will win.
Scott’s Emulsion, fresh air,
rest all you can, eat all you
can, that’s the treatment and
that’s the best treatment.
