The city treasurer reported $6287.92
in the treasury on the last day of
February.
The police judge reported that dur
ing the month of February, no fines
had been collected.
The judiciary committee reported
that City Attorney B. S. Ramsey
asked further time to explain his be
lief in the matter of the suit on the
Wescott light bond. As is his custom,
the city attorney is rarely prepared
with anv matter at the time that it
should be acted upon. In
case he seems to be either
tius bond '
desirous of
avoiding the bringing of the suit or
recognizes his incompetency to prose-
cute the matter on behalf of the city.
He seems to seek to draw his salary on
much the same basis as the former

A Citizen's
Convention
The Citizens convention, the call for
which appears in another column of this
paper, is for the purpose of nominating
a clean business city ticket. Back of
this movement are most of the best
business men in this city irrespective
of former party affiliations. It is the
belief of practically every business
man in this city, that the manner of
handling the city's business can be
greatly improved.lt is fully appreciated
that during the past few months the
city government has been an absolute
failure and a farce. Every good citizen,
who believes in good citizenship and a
clean non-partisan city government
should attend the citizens convention.
Better and cleaner city government
will be the slogan of the citizen's con
vention. Read the Label.
Under the Pure Food Laws baking
powder labels now show the ingredients
of which the powder is made.
Those who appreciate the importance
to health and good baking of using a
pure cream of tartar powder will read
the back of the label carefully and
make sure that the ingredients mention
ed include cream of tartar.
The food law docs not force consum
ers; it merely helps them to protect
themselves. All good housekeepers
want cream of tartar baking powders,
and will not use alum substitutes in the
food, if they know it. As the ingredi
ents are printed on the back of the label,
all may know the facts.
Good baking powder is one of the
most useful things in the kitchen; it is
easily obtained nt any store; the better
it is, the more economical it is in cook
ing materials, and the more it conserves
the health of the family.
Will Build New Home.
C. W. Baylor, the coal man, has pur
chased the three lots at the corner of
Ninth and Elm streets formerly owned
by Mrs. J. L. Root, and will soon com
mence the erection of a modern resi
dence thereon. When it has been com
pleted it will add greatly to that por
tion of the city and will make a de
lightful abiding place for Mr. Baylor
and his estimable wife.
