The chair appointed a committee F. Eilley.

A number of good cheery
„_______ speeches were then made by a
Richardson, James Rumage and ^ J
sdect a ticket to number of citizens and much good
E. R. Waller to
be approved or rejected by the
convention. This action of the
chairman met with some opposi-
tion because the meeting had not
authorized the chair to make these
nominations. There was a motion
made appealing from the chair but
was overruled and the committee
was put to work.
Whfle the committee was mak
ing out their report some enthus-
iastic speeches’ were made by Dr.
Neeley, Messrs. Hick Hensley, J.
N. Rogers, Frank Poole, J. R.
Rich, Eewis Johnson, P. B. Cox
and Judge E. W. Nicholson
The committee returned a major-
ity and minority report. The
majority report' was that the pres-
ent aldermen be retained, with the
exception of Mr. Kuykendall and
that Tom Berry be placed in his
stead. The minority report was
the same except that Mr. Berry be
placed instead of Mr. Hackley. Mr.
Berry was declared nominated by
the chair - and thfe house voted on
the majority and1 minority report,
the majority report, ., was carried.
The reason the commettee objected
to either Mr. Kuykendall or Mr.
Hackley was that’ they both lived
on the same street and the «pt
part of town had .nq alderman.
When Mr. Knykendall was elected
nature was manifested. Capt.
Spiller wound up the speechmak-
ing by saying that his part of town
did not need any graveled streets
as their streets were already in fine
shape, that his part of town bad
the best health, the richest land,
the best water, the best people and
the prettiest women. This speech
occasioned much badinage, jeering,
applause and laughter and immed-
iately the meeting broke up, all
well pleased as well as could be
observed.

malaria poison produces," says R. M.

a billious attack in almost no time; and.

lief in all stomich, liver and kidney
complaints and the misery of lame hack*.
