Notes
The city council met in adjourned
session last night with Mayor Call in
the chair and the following members
present: Aldermen Scales, York,
Bates, Clopton, Miller, Woods and
Johusou, Chief of Police Stewart. Re-
corder Jeffers, Attorney Mays, Tax
Collector Robinson, Health Officer
Fountain, Engineer Elliott and Street
(tverseer Henry.
At last meeting the council ad-
journed to meet last night to consid-
er the petition of the Corsicana Re-
finery Company, asking that its plant
be excluded from the city limits.
Three weeks ago the ordinance com-
mittee brought in an ordinance to
this effect and it was read. The se-
cond reading was set for last night.
Upon motion of Alderman Woods,
after Mayor Call had stated the ob-
ject of the meeting, the council de-
cided to read the ordinance, but be-
fore this was brought up Alderman
Woods offered a resolution, asking
for a reconsideration of the com-
press matter which was disposed of
at the meeting last week.
Mayor Call ruled this resolution
out of ordet on the gaound that the
council had instructed him to execute
the court's process, giving possession
to the city.
Upon motion of Alderman Woods,
the council rescinded its action,
which authorized the mayor to exe-
cute the process, and decided to take
up the question again. Mayor Call
then declared it would be in order
for the resolution to be presented.
Alderman Woods then presented it as
follows:
Be it resolved, that the matter of
the removal of the obstructions ex-
isting in Tenth Avenue by reason of
the building of the platform of the
Independent Compress Company in
said street be referred to the ordi-
nance committee of this council with
instructions to report at some subse-
quent meeting, as to whether the
judgment in favor of the city of Cor-
sicana confirming its title to and jur-
isdiction over said street, can be
legally executed so as to fully pre-
set ve the rights of the city under
said judgment without requiring the
immediate removal of said obstruc-
tion."
The question was argued at length
by Attorneys Lewis Carpenter and
Flourney for Anderson and
Attorney J. S. Callicutt opposing it.
The followfng committee was appoint-
ed by Mayor Call: Aldermen Woods,
Clopton, York and City Attorney
Mays and by motion tne mayor was
added to the committee.
The refinery ordinance then came
up and Mayor Call gave his reasons
why he thought the ordinance should
not pass, in substance as follows:
The legislature gave the council
authority to exclude uninhabited
tracts, etc. The refinery land was
certainly inhabited. There was no
scheme to get them in and that the
city was at the present in no con-
dition to allow it out. The city had
no legal right to iet the refinery out
and it was not expedient to do so,
even if it had the right. The city hail
heard no complaint until its expense
accounts had been made and its finan-
cial budgets had been prepared on
the basis of the refinery paying tax.
Attorney W. J. McKie then pre-
IN FOOD
What a Clergyman's Wife
Found.
The wife of a Minnesota clergy-
man found the solution of her
troubles in a simple change of food
of which she says:
"My case proves that proper food
will cure almost any ail. For years
1 suffered from dyspepsia which be-
came chronic and was treated by
some of the most skillful physicians
but was not cured.
"'Medicine would help for a time
but the old troubles would always re-
turn because the cause was still
there, and kept me weak and sickly
most of the time. I had the grip
every year for five years, always suf-
fered with colds and my whole con-
dition showed that 1 did not get the
proper nourishment from the food.
"When 1 began eating Grape-Nuts
according to directions I may say
that since that time my stomach has
not troubled me at all but a remark-
able change took place. All through
the long, cold winter I ate nothing
but a saucer of Grape-Nuts and
cream in the morning and no matter
how severe the cold I did not sufFer
and I did not have the grip or even a
cold. Grape-Nuts food certainly
nourished me until I have a strong
constitution, feel like a new person,
indeed never was healthier in my
life." N'amo given by Postum Co.,
Battle Creek, Mich.

g-
sented the refinery's side in a lengthy
argument, quoting authorities to
sustain his position. He told how it
located, what it had done for the
city and how it had not contemplated
being in the city.
Judge Frost had intended to pre-
sent the law against excluding the
plant, but illness prevented his ap-
pearance and this left one side with-
out prepared representation and the
refinery had a walk-over except for a
few pertinent questions which Mayor
Call applied now and then.
Mr. McKie convinced the council
that the company's land wa3 abso-
lutely unhihabited, so the ordinance,
excluding the refinery, was passed,
only Mr. Clopton voting against it.
Mr. Johnson stated that he thought
he could purchase a very fine tpam of
fire horses soon and the council au-
thorized him to make the purchase at
a cost not.exceeding $350.
The committee appointed to pur-
chase a site for the Carnegie library,
reported and recommended the pur-
chase of the M. S. Read homestead
for $5000, this leaving E)r. Read the
house, outhhouses, fence etc , and it
being agreed that he would clear the
lot by September 1.
The council accepted the recom-
mendation and adjourned.
