Tho ltiirlitigtuu Railway Company appeared before, the city couneil last night ami asked the priviludgu of using the city streets for their water mains which they are preparing to lay in tapping the Manier springs. The council seemed disposed to grant the ( request but Mayor Foe urged tho coun cil to wait for an opinion of the. city attorney and objected to the passage of such an ordinance before plenty of time had been given to think tho mat ter over. Had this reqiiitst bieu granted this city would have been lost so far as water is concerned for all time to come. No one knows what, our new wells will rlo when the warm weather and dry spoil s(. in, I'lm tiling for Lliiu city to do is at. once condemn those springs and be assured of water if wo need it. After condemning them and gaining possession of them we can make sat isfticlory arrangements with tho lEuiliugtoii. Asa joint project it would be id' 'leuellL to the city and the railroad but until we know what our water will lie we are absolutely op-po-ed to the losing of these springs. We have come to the patting of tho ways and we must act with decisive ne.is. P. E. 0. Society. . Gives a Pknic On Tuesday evening the P. K. O. Society, which so often busies itself in doing good, gave a picnic which was a housuwarmlng and surprise party at the home of Mr. and Mrs J. C. Mitch ell. A few of the members had gath ered with Mrs. Mitchell to practice some of the mysterious secret work of the organization, while the otheis, each accompanied by her Hill were as sembling at the home of Dr. MitchoII preparatory to complete the surprise. At eight thirty, under the leadership of Holton Letson and l'rof. Morltz this crowd laden with up-to-date pic nic lunuhs marched upon the Mitchell home and enjoyed the surprise on tho hostess, which seemed complete. Tho host however had early in tho evening become sorry for his sins and was In attendance at, prayer meeting, and it took three preachers and a lawyer to direct, him to his home. Tho evening was spent in (dayiug games, and at the midnight hour a long table, in true plenic stylo, was covorod with good things to eat. such as only the l E. O. girls can prepare. Every Hill present did his duty, but tho honors were voted to Stacy Morhart as being the biggest eater and tho shortest man. Mrs. h. E. Talt, on behalf of the society, presented the hostess with a beautiful picture. To say that the picnic was a success would be putting the statement mildly.
