The dog catcher has been very busy during the past seven days and more dogs are wearing license tags than for many years previous. To date, 140 tags have been sold and more added to the list daily.

The collection of dogs on South Riverside is very interesting. There are big dogs and small dogs, fat dogs and lean. Every description almost can be found except pedigreed dogs. About 25 dogs are on hand now.

Poundmaster Wylott has just completed a number of nets to help catch strays.

Emil Britt was elected mayor of Jacksonville yesterday evening by the council and at once assumed the place of Mayor T.T. Shaw, resigned.

The election came as somewhat of a surprise to the citizens of Jacksonville, who expected the new council to fill the vacancy. Instead of this the old council elected the mayor before the new members were seated. Some of the new members are reported to be opposed to Britt.
