could be obtained for a nominal
sum and a most enjoyable day spent

inclined.

let everybody know the best town

peninsula.
L. Walker was present and ex
plained the knitting mill proposi
tion. In a brief speech he made a
very favorable impression. It was
shown n mill would pay here. The
location, raw material, labor and
shipping facilities were nil witliu
easy reach. All that was lacking
was the enterprise to go ahead. To
see what can be done in the matter
the chair unpointed the following
committee: Messrs. Bishop, Per
kins, King, Chipmau and Ogdeii.
These gentlemen will report at the
next meeting.
By ti unanimous vote I). C.
Rogers was selected as 11 member of
the committee to revise the citv

be chosen.
WILL BE READY

Occupancy When the

Opens September 17.
Although numerous school build
ugs in the county will not be ready

St. Johns school wilt be completed
and everything in first class shape
for the teachers and pupils.
As one steps into the frontdoor
of the remodeled building the lirst
impression is that Contractor Adams
has done a first clui-s job. The old
chimney mid partition have been ie-
moved, and an assembly hall thirty
feet wide and running the full
length of the building with n stage
I2X2S feet greet the eye. I his as
sembly nail is 120x30 icet and 000
people can witness all that may be
(loin: ou the stage. The lirst floor
arrangement is bound to please ev
eryone. With the three additional rooms
just built the building will have
thirteen rooms. I he late arrange
incut gives inch room plenty of light
ud roomy clonk rooms for each.
About 600 lineal leet of first class
ilackhoard has been added, nud
some of the Inferior blackboard put
in the rooms 11 year ago will be iu-
miced.
An additional furnace will be in
stalled nud new toilet rooms for
10th sexes have been arranged iu
the basement. It is only owing to
the uou-arrival of the toilet fixtures
that the building is not alrealy
turned over to the school board
flie work nud material is in ac
cordance with that of the plans and
specifications. I he fact that the
contractor has not been asked to
change any of the material used
shows that nothing has been slight
ed by the contractor. We honestly
believe every patron of the school
will be pleased.

was the only absentee.
As soon ns the lengthy minutes
of the previous meeting were read
and approved the mayor pulled n
paper from his pocket and handed
it to the recorder, who began to
read as follows:
To the Honorable the City Coun
cil aud Citizens of St. Johns:
Owing to facts with which you
are all conversant that there is a
question of the legality of one per
son holding the ollice of mayor and
the ollice of postmaster that being
the attitude now confronting us
nud wishing only to contribute my
efforts and energy for the welfareof
the city of St. Johns and good fel
lowship to all of its citizens, I deem
It expedient to resign the office of
mnyor and do hereby tender my
resignation.
Aud, gentlemen of the council,
with it you have my heartfelt
thanks for the earnest support you
have given me iu our ninny under
takings which we have considered
for the common good of our city.
To the citizens I will say that
what I have done while mayor I
have considered for the best inter
ests of our city. While there may
have been some friction recently, I
hope it may soon be forgotten by
all. I can nsstiie you It will be by
me. F. W. V.U.UNTlNH.

Crawford streets, the bill not to ex

The matter of the improvement
of Hayes, Oswego and Charleston
sheets teceived considerable atteu
tiou fiom the council, and the re
sult of their deliberations is shown
by the legal publications elsewhere
iu this tunc.
On motion of Aid. Norton the
following resolution was adopted:
Resolved, That in the resignation
of Mayor F. W. Valentine, we. the
city council of the city of St. Johns,

dilution to ex press our appreciation
