HOW DO WE STAND?
That's What Mayor Hollis Desires to
.' - Know. ".
Monday evening the common
council of the city of Athena met
in regular session. All members of
the board were present, Mayor
. Hollis in the chair.
The first matter of importance to
come up was a bill of A. M. Gillis,
for services as marshal. The bill
was itemized 'into several months
of service rendered in an official
capacity, and called for $75 per
month. It appears that the matter
of the marshal's salary had been
up before the council at a previous
meeting, but no action had been
taken. Councilman Cos moved
that the bill be allowed as read
and received a second from Thar p.
When the vote was taken the
motion was last 3 to 2.. Cox and
Tharp voted yes; Spencer, Jones
,' and Kirk voting no.
; .After the vote had been taken,
the councilmen proceeded to give
their respective views on the ques
tion. Cox thought the marshal
should -receive J75 per month, so
did Tharp. The mayor and the
( other members wished to curtail
expenses and thought $75 per
month too much. The matter was
- finally compromised by allowing
the marshal a salary of $65 per
month, and , the council unani-

affairs of his office.
The finance committee reported
. favorably on T. D. Taylor's bill for
$50. This bill was for services
rendered by Mr. Taylor as city
treasurer for the year 1894. and
had been referred to, the finance
committee at a previous meeting.
The marshal tendered his report,
- showing in detail the receipts and
disbursements of the office of city
marshal and water superintendent,
up to date. This led Mayor Hollis

to say that he desired a report from
the city treasurer, showing all
money that had been received and
paid out., in fact, the mayor wanted
to know "How do we stand" to
use his honor's expression.
Waterworks and the tank, which
leaks by the way, came in for their
share of discussion. From the
water superintendent's report it is
evident that the tank will have to
be repaired sooner or later and the
council expressed that the sooner
the matter was attended to the
better. The superintendent re
ported there was a leak or some
thing at the mill; that Mr. France
had requested him to put on a
"clamp" to stop said leak, and
asked the council for instructions.
As leaks are not generally stopped
with as expensive plugs as
"clamps," the councilmen were of
the opinion that if anyone wanted
clamps the necessary tap was also
desired, and they could get it by
making proper application to the
water superintendent.

A few evenings ago as the silver
moon was climbing the eastern sky,
one of our most prominent citizens
might have been seen reclining in
an easy chair at his elegant resi
dence, southwest corner of Fourth
and Jefferson streets. He was
facing the east and looking aimless
ly out through the window, when
his attention was attracted by the
peculiar appearance of the moon.
Ahl what makes him start? What
rivets his gaze? With awe and
wonder he sees plainly marked
across the pale round moon a per
fect cross. Can it bo his eyes de
ceive him? Is this an optical de
lusion? To satisfy himself on this
point he calls bis wife to come and
view the orb of night. She com
plies with his request. She looks
and sees the same as he; a perfect
silver cross, across the silver moon!!

be, an imbecile indeed, who'6 unable
to interpret so plain a sign. The
Judgment Day is . here! He must
warn his neighbors. Presumably
with thoughts like these uppermost
in his mind he seized his hat and
rushed for the door. As he opened
the door the cross vanished. With
a weary look and an exclamation
that sounded like "Oh, rats!" he
resumed his seat in silence and
soon afterwards retired for: the
night. The explanation .of the
phenomenon is he had been look

numerous small panes of which
surround his door and windows.
One day last week contrary to
our usual custom we were loiter
ing on Main street, when we were
accosted by a gentleman friend
who invited us to accompany him
on a short drive. As the gentle
man referred to is averse to pub
licity, ' we will humor him this
once by effectually concealing his
identity and refer to him only by
his initials which are J. N, B. G,
Now, if there is anything we enjoy
more than driving it is more driv
ing; and as may have already been
inferred, we, as a matter of course
and courtesy, readily accepted J.
N. B. G.'s invitation. On leaving
town we zigzaged in a northeastern
direction, passing innumerable
fields of golden stubble and bois
terous tumble-weeds. After about
an hoar and Ihirty minutes drive
we came to a wide space in the
road where we supposed wagons
usually passed. Judge of our sur.
prise when, after pulling on the
strings and stopping his fiery
crow-baits, J. N. B. G. informed us
that we had arrived at our destina
tion; the future Great; the city of
magnificent distances; the world
famed city of Milton. After a sub
stantial repast at the Hotel Mc
Quary, of which Judge J. E. Mc
Qaary formerly of Athena, is the
accommodating ranvrod, we took a
few minutes whirl about the city.
We made a brief call on Mr.
Wright the lumber merchant, who
showed us through his well kept
vineyard. It would do you good
to see J. N. B, G. turned loose in a
grape patch. During our short
stay, twenty minutes, ho must have
gained fifteen or twenty pounds in
weight. He would take one of
those large bunches and with a
simple twist of the wrist draw it
through the opening in his head
when presto! there you are sir;
nothing left but the cob. Mr.
Wright, seeing how things were
going, adroitly and with great tact,
steered us toward the gate, which
as soon as we passed through he
securely fastened. Bidding Mr.
Wright adieu we went to the depot.
While there the train arrived and
when near the station ran over a

belligerent dog mangling him in a
horrible manner and killing him
instantly. J, N. B. G. witnessed
the accident and although he is
not in the habit of using extrava
gant language, as he viewed the
large chunks of squirming canine (
he involuntarily exclaimed, "dog-gone-it."
Fearing he would make
some other equally bad break, we
persuaded him to start for home
where we arrived in due course of
time none the worse off for our sad
experience. Scribblek.
