i i I HOT SHOTS I I FROM I I SOUTH BESSEHER. South Besssmer is no longer neglect ed; the improtement made in 27th street and Exeter avenue, makes us think we really do live in the city, 'i'he stream on which we had such terrible experiences in our dreams, has disappeared from the middle of 27th strep and is row confined to a good sized sewer pipe and from appearances we will have a good driveway. In fact some neighbor has beguu to put on city airs by removing a large bam house from the front yard, putting a fence in place of the house and a good veranda around the dwelling and is feeling so good about it that we expect uext to see a yard full of flowers, and svery city official that passes this way will a bouquet, but please uot come all nee. We norice that the average voter in the city desires to express his choice for Mayor, Aldermen, Chief of Folic, Jailer, City Clerk and Sanitary officer, by holding a primary. This is a good aud honest move and should be carried out.

The matter was spoken of at the last meeting of the Gity Executive Committee, but lor tome reason it seemed that the question wa and that there was plenty of time yet. I am most sure it' will meet the endorsement of the Committee, if they can be gofteu together. 0 The dear people do not seem to be in it at all, when it comes to procuring cheaper elenlric lights. The City Hal! and street lights are all that are taken into consideration. Ifone is entitled to a reduction all must be.

The Aldermeu and Mayor are not the whole thing! It was the people that did the voting, ad they should get some taffy too, so tote fair now and we have nothing to say. 0 Mr. Scarlet "Fever is no worse this year than he was last, but for a short time he got in bis work. Closed the schools, when there was really no more call for this year than last, but you kuovr it was so convenient, a poor excuse is better than none, Now we suppose the City Council will o. k.

about f6oo and pay it out of the people'a money and call it salaries for teachers, when they were not at work. Just about the same kind of carelessness and loose work when the tnanuels were printed. We do not know who did the work nor do we care, but the Manual is no good to the people. They have not been distributed, the mistakes iu it are many and it should not have been received, much less paid for. In the two items mentioned the citizens are ont about six or seven hundred dollars and nothing to show for it.

The people should keep their weather eye on these schools, for thev do not dream of the tricks that will be played between now and election day in regard to Superintendent of Schools. THIRD WARD. limit on the tickets (June 19th) your visit into the Southwest. That you may do so cheaply, the Cotton Belt will sell special low-rate tickets (stop-overs allowed) from Memphis to kansas.
