The city has established a dump ground for refuse iu a ravine south of the town plat and the town au thorities are trying to get all refuse from the street litter of trimming trees to the kitchen litter of tin cans, removed to that place.

There upon one of the slobbering little papers over that way proceeded to testify that "be has been extremely popular and one of the best officials ever in the -sheriffs office since Wheeler county was . created."
