Alderman Davis, as
committee, made a report on digging a
cistern near the old Daggett well. After
quite a discussion, the whole matter was
referred to the city engineer to examine
the same and report at the next meeting.
The committee on building a cistern
i ou the hospital grounds was granted fur-
ther time.
Alderman Peak, as chairman of the
committee having under consideration the
matter of dividing the city into street pre-
cincts, made a report, in which the three
wards of the city were proposed to be
divided into five districts, of which the
First ward was to be divided into two,
Fourth street being the dividing line ; the
Second ward to be one ; the Third ward
divided into two, Main or Houston1 streets
to be the dividing line.
The speaker was in favor of amending
the ordinance limiting the extent to three
or five days labor or the payment of $3 or
$5.
Alderman Allen moved and Alderman
Davis seconded the motion that ordinance
141, popularly known as the street tax or-
dinance, be repealed.
It was evident from the beginning that
the discussion was to be of a very warm
nature. *
Alderman Davis opened the discussion
by denouncing in bitter terms, the unjust
oppression of the law, declaring it to be
to the advantage of the rich man and an
unjust tax upon the poor man.
Alderman Allen fellowed in a similar
strain, declaring the same law had been
a failure in Waco, Galvestou, Houston and
other towns, and asserted the people
would not submit to the unjust operations
of the law.
Alderman Peak followed in favor of the
ordinance, and sought to obtain a com-
promise on the matter by fixing the limit
at three or five days labor, or $3 or $$ pay-
ment in lieu thereof.
Alderman Nichols declared1 himself in
favor of the provisions of the ordinance,
as for the best interests of the city, and
asserted the remarks of the first two
speakers were calculated to be of a sensa-
tional nature.
These remarks brought Alderman Allen
to his feet,- aftd he made further remarks
explaining his position, asserting that his
vote was given for its passage at a prior
meeting, to make it by its passage so un-
popular that it would by itself become
null and void.
Alderman Peak took occasion to take
to task Alderman Allen for presumed
change of base.
Alderman Allen rejoined and defined his
position in a few words.
Alderman Nichols asserted the ordin-
ance was drafted in accordance with the
state law and could be euforced by the
proper authorities.
At this point ot the proceedings Aider-
man Davis insisted that it should be put to
a vote.
Then commenced a serious of filibuster-
ing such as we venture to remark was
never before attempted in the deliberations
of this body. Aldermen Davis and Allen
still insisted upon a vote being taken upon
the repeat of the ordinance. The exciting
scenes were finally brought to a close by a
motion to adjourn made by Alderman
Nichols which was soon carried. The
meeting therefore stands adjourned until
Thursday evening.
The interest manifested by our citizens
was strongly attested by the large number
of them present during the session ot the
body, and the attention paid the speakers
by their auditors was a sufficient indica-
tion of the interest our citizens have felt
in this matter since the passage of that or-
dinance.
Undoubtedly on Thusday evening a
large number will be in attendance at the
adjourned session ot that body.
Social Entertainments.
The Woman’s Branch of the St. An-
drew’s Guild gave a social entertainment
at Evans’ Hall last evening. Among the
ladies present were Mrs. Brusters, Taylor,
Haven, Souiter, Will Brown, Gurley,
Misses Levvs, Masons, Turners, New-
comes, Miss Souiter, West, Arnold, Wal-
dron. A pleasant time was enjoyed by all.
Mrs. Carrico gave a hop at her residence
last evening. Music was furnished, dan-
cing was indulged in, and a fine supper
was furnished. Miss Seppie Price, Etta
Price, Misses Anderson, Griffin, Miss
Allen. Annie Moore were among the la-
dies present.
Tho Select Social Club will give a ball
and supper iu Evans’ Hall Wednesday
night, the 6th inst. Only invited guests
will be admitted. No admission fee. This
ball is given by the club as a social enter-
tainment. Those who are invited will be
expected to bring their invitations. A.
Goldstieu, Gus. Aaronson, M. Behoefer,

A picnic party comprising a number of
our young gentlemen and ladies from

Mr. E. N. Walker, formerly of Ken-
tucky, but now a resident of Fort Worth
has purchased the farm known as the W.
B. Tucker survey, from John C. Pugh, ot
Arkansas. The tract consists bf 320 acres,
ahd lies three and a halt miles north of
tlfe court house; between the Denton and
Decatur roads; The price given was $11
per acre, one half cash, the balance in
twelve months. There are one hundred
fibres in cultivation, two good tenement
houses, eisteru, peach orchard and other
minor improvements. About one halt of
the cultivated land is enclosed with a good
bois d’ are hedge. We are truly glad that
Mr. Walker has secured such a desira-
ble farm so near Fort Worth, upon which
lie can raise fine stock of all kinds. We
wish him unbounded success in his enter-
prise and hope that his example may be
followed by numbers of Kentuckians who
are able and willing to invest in our splen-
did wheat lands.

W. W, Kennedy, at the cemetery this
evening at four o’clock.
The Jacksonville Sun aud Press says that
one of the best business men of that city
Offers to take the contract of running the
city government for a year for two-thirds
what it now costs. He will be mayor, al-
dermen, police—in fact the whole machin-
ery of the government—aud if at the end
of the year the people by their votes say
that they liaye not had as good a city ad-
ministration as they have had for years, he
will pay the bills and claim nothing.
That business man is certainly an old
fogy. Governments are now run in the
interest of the officials, and the people who
pay the taxes must attend strictly to their
part ot the business. The property hold-
ers are looked upon as the meat upon which
our modern Caesars feed.

W JENKINS’ ANNIHILATOR®
The Great Southern Remedy for
Rheumatism, Gout and Neuralgia.
Those terrible enemies of human hap-
piness, Rheumatism, Gout, and Neuralgia,
heretofore seemingly unconquerable, have
indeed found their master in Jenkins’ Anni-
hilator. We have the testimony of men of
the highest standing in Louisiana and other
states,;“that Rafter suffering indescribable
pains, for years, from which they sought re-
lief in vain by visiting the Hot and W arm
springs of Arkansas and Virginia, and _ by
using dozens of remedies more or less high-
ly praised, when, in fact hope had almost
died out, they have found relief from pain
by the use of the Annihilator, and by- con-
tinuing it for a short time, have been per-
fectly cured. The Annihilator is a prepara-
tion purely vegetable, agreeable to the taste
and may be taken without fear of any in-
jurious results by the delicate as well as the
robust iu constitution.
