LICENSE REDUCED.
The city council on Monday
night adopted a resolution intro
duced by Alderman Bailey re
ducing the city license for the
coming year from $2500 to $1600.
The saloons must crowd into one
ward and thus divide their busi

expenses to be thus incurred and
the reduction of business the
council felt that a lower license
would be in order.
Thus the first misdirected ef
fort of the prohis accomplishes
nothing beyond losing to the
city a revenue of about $4,500 a
year from the five saloons.
An ordinance prohibiting the
use of the streets and commons i
of the city by traveling horse
traders was given one reading.
The only other item of busi
ness was the approval of the
minutes and allowance of ac
counts, all members of the coun
cil being present.
IN MEMORIAM.
Whereas, It has pleased God
to take from among us one of
our most worthy members, Dr.
Garland Hurt, who departed this
life at his home December 9th,
1903, therefore be it
Resolved, That in the death of!
Dr. Hurt we believe there passed
from earth to the joys of Heaven
one of the saintliest and sweet
est spirits we have ever known.
Our Sunday school has lost a
man of sterling worth and up
rightness, faithful to every trust
put in him. However humble
a p: ion he filled, his actions
v re eh ized by earnest-1
i lie* ory ways to exalt his
work.
Resolved, That the prayers of
the Methodist Sunday school fol
low the bereaved wife and son,
and pray they may emulate the
noble example of Him who has
laid down life's crosses to wear a
crown of joy.
