Council Acquires Additional Property fbr Extension of Florida Street To North Broad. City council met in regular session Tuesday night with’Mayor Young and Aldermen Henry, Adair, Duncan, Har ris and Carter present. The city clerk and treasurer’s re port showed practically all 1929 taxes collected, the total standing at $50,300 which was a slight decrease over last year. The report showed notes payable Nov. 15th, of $41,137.71, this amount representing local loans made during the past year for operating expenses in anticipation of this fall’s taxes. Of | this amount of indebtedness, $14,152.991 has been liquidated since the tax' books closed Nov. 15th, with other j items on bonds and interest due dur-; ing this month to be cared for.-, j The police department’s report for the month showed $579.00 levied and^ collected in fines, with 210 days as signed offenders on the county chain gang. Council approved the purchase of winter overcoats for the members of the police force. Negotiations perfected at the meet ing by council, resulted in the acqui sition for the city of additional prop erty on North Broad street adjacent to what it now owns. The city has cwned for several years, two lots ag gregating 60 feet, just above the building of J. I. Copeland and Bro., and then following an intervening lot owned by W. D. Copeland, it owns 50 feet additional. By council’s action, the Copeland lot dividing the city’s property was purchased, giving the city 135 feet frontage on North Broad street and the property all lying in one tract. Looking to the further development of its property now held for the erec tion of a city hall, and realizing the need of extending Florida street direct from W. T. Putnam’s place to Broad street, council purchased a right-of- way from J. T. Leake and W. D. Cope land to perfect this new development. It is now planned to extend Florida street to Broad street to tap the city’s property already owned at this point. The extension of Florida street into Broad will give the city a very de- ijrable corner lot just opposite the postoffice building for the proposed city hall building. With sufficient frontage deducted for the opening of the new street, the city will have ample frontage for its municipal building and it is likely that 50 feet on the lower end adjoining J. I. Cope land & Bro’s. store, will be sold. The improvements to be made in this sec tion will prove beneficial to the city, to the other adjacent property own ers, and to traffic from Owens hill section by giving a straight connec tion into the city’s most important thoroughfare. Council voted, as has been the cus tom for several years, to contribute $100 to the Woman’s club to assist in the operation of the Clinton public li brary. The suggestion of decorating the streets in the business section of the city for the Christmas holidays, was approved by council. The water and light committee and Supt. Austin were instructed t§ proceed with the work. The need of laying new drainage pipe on Ferguson street to replace a defective section was considered by council and upon the recommendation of Engineer Crawford, the work was ordered to be done immediately. The laying of an additional water main in the College View section was also ap proved^ by council to accommodate two new residences that are to be erected. Several other routine matters were before council and acted upon, after which a special meeting was ajlpoint- cd for next week for the drafting of the license bill for 1930. KE!

You are the first one off the train, and the first through tlie gate. FaHier j nnd raotlier are there waiting for you. | .Mother hugs and kisses you without | a word, but there i'^ a tightening of i Iter arms that speaks much.

You climb Into the front seat alongside your father. It is Christmas morning and most ,folks are at home.

You are out of town now, speeding over the road that runs along the riv er, that beautiful, wMde, blue rl^’er. where in summer you swam and boat ed and cauglit fi;.h. and In winter hunt ed ducks. There down tlie road conies a familiar figure with a gun on his shoulder and a dog at his heels! It Is Chuck Andi'ews. He recognizes you a hundred feet away and grins Joyously “Merry Christmas!” he yells. Your father stops the car, and you and Chuck grip hands. “Jiroiny! I’m glad to see you,” he says. “How long are you going to be home?” “A week,” you reply, j *‘l<'lne and dandy!” says he enthusi- j astically. “There Is the biggest flock ! of wild turkeys I ever saw over In Ce ; dar Swamp; and the quail are as thick [ as grasshoppers this year.

You repeat the doggerel, and are required to do so again and again. “It’s nonsense!” declares Cousin John. “Hold on!” s.iys Cousin Nat, “There is some catcli in the punctu ation.” And wliile the rest continue to puz.zle. he takes out a pencil and an envelope and writes the thing down. “I’ve got It!” he announces, and reads; I ‘ Every lady In this land has twenty nails: Upon each hand five: and twenty on hands and feet. !
