City Council Passes Sidewalk Ordinances Dr. Ounsmore Will Go to Bellknap Springs At a regular meeting of the city council Wednesday evening a number of ordinances were passed to build sidewalks. There was alee a n ordinance passed to improve G street. The city re corder was instructed to issue a warrant to sell delinquent street improvement assessments. Beugheys to Make Their Heme in Salem Mr. and Mrs. B. F. Boughey and daughters, the Misses Mabel and Erma, left Wednesday to take up their abode at Sulem, their f o r m e r home. The Bougheys have made many friends here who regret they will no longer be with us. Dr. H. C. Dunsmore will leave Sunday for Bellknap Springs where he will pass his summer vacation. Just before going the Doctor was seen gazing longing ly and dis-criminatingly at the pretty display of wedding rings at A. L. Kullander’s. Just what degree of sincerity this window shopping might indicate has ndt been satisfactorily ex plained, tho it is believed the Doctor will purchase transporta tion fer two instead of one to this scenic spot. Mrs. Esther Herring of Iowa City. Iowa, is a guest at the S. Taylor Jones home. Mrs. Her ring is a cousin of Mr. Jones and expects to spend the re mainder of the summer here.
