Callaway's one score• He made
several key stops on defense:

Sonny Cummings observed
after the game "We have got to
work on special teams. We had
several short punts that did not
look good.
"We had more total yards
than Darlington 140-198. We
tried to spread them out, Seth
Johnson, a 200-pound sopho-
more, was our leading rusher
with 70 total yards. The best
block of the'game was by No.

Associate Editor
Hogansville Mayor Wilson
St. Clair told the city Monday
night at the regular council
meeting that the city has plen-
ty of water.
"The EPD asked us to open
the valve at the reservoir and
let more water flow into the
stream that feeds into Blue
Creek to help protect the fish
and other aquatic life," he said.
The city adopted a water
conservation emergency plan
to help protect the city since
this has been the worst drought
in this area in many years.
The plan has water use pri-
orities. A general ranking of
water uses in decreasing order
of importance is as follows:

City Manager David
Aldrich stated that the plan
spells out what we can and can't
do. He said the plan repeals in
60 days unless the council acts
on it.
The council voted to consid-
er a Resolution proclaiming

They also voted on Aldrich's
recommendation for MEAG to
be the agent for the city's sup-

said with MEAG, we can do
some of the work ourselves.
"We have options with them,"
he said.
Aldrich reported to the
council that the city's millage
rate dropped this year from 11.5
to 10.5. He said that this should
help everyone pocketbooks.

WESLEY AND LORI BOATMAN were greeted Saturday morning with house, lawn and cars rolled with
toilet paper. But far from an act of vandalism, the message was: Welcome! Now you are one of us and
we love you. Police came and made arrests, but it was all a joke to initiate their new pastor.
