Blow ead the assetts of the county for the past year, and stated that the coun ty, owing to building of the dam, was one thousand dollars behind, bnt with economy the county could get along another year, without any im provements, at the same levy. G. T Tyson inquired if any. improvement was needed. Mr. Blow said a fire proof vault was badly needed. That a fire or burglary would" work untold damage to the property of the coun ty, that the gallery "oH; the Court room needed shutting in and the rooms for old records &c. Mr. J. S. Harris stated' that a for mer board comractcd for a vault at a satisfactory prioe, but when they placed the contractors under a bond to guarantee the work, they backed out.

Andrew Joyner came foiward and said that he had never wanted the of fice, uever asked a Magistrate to vote lor him if a better man who would perform the duties of the office could be elected,v that since the pledge made before them that in future those duties would be performed, he had accomplished all he had ever un dertaken and liad won a victory for the children of the county, and was perfectly satisfied as to the compe tency and efficiencyf of the Superin tendent if those pledges were fulfill ed and he believed they would be.
