Nearly every household has some and
often all its members sick with the
gripp. Dr. Henderson is kept busy
night and dy.
Farmers are starting preparations for
another crop. Will plant less tobacco and
more of the cereals. It seems they are
going to take the advice which has so
often been given "to make more home
s applies," and they began this winter to
fill their smoke house.
W. P. Lyon, Esq., on Sunday 3rd Jan
uary, 1892, made a couple of young peo
ple happy by pronouncing them man and
wife. The parties were Mr. Chas L.
Hunt and Miss Susan I. Parrott. They
were married at the home of the Esq.
And as they rode off in great glee,
They left him smiling with his fee.
Wishing their lives may happy be,
As they sail over the troublesome sea.

to allow me only two. Impress the peo
ple with the idea that the Board is dis
posed to reduce all claims presented right
or wrong and soon they will desire to
have no dealings with a county whose j
Board is not disposed to deal fairly with
them. Who wants to furnish corn to the
poor house to take a county order for
only two-thirds of its market value? It
is the duty of the Board to see that the
county does not pay too much, and also
to allow just claims when presented. I
was sitting in the room one day when a
carpenter presented his account, duly
sworn to. for a days work on the court
house. One county loving member
moved that he be allowed one dollar.
"No, gentlemen," said he, "the county
owes me one dollar and fifty cents and If
I cannot get all I will have none." , He
walked out leaving the account on the
table. After he had left one of the Board
said "I reckon we had better allow this
account as it is what he charges others."
The amount was reasonable and why
should they think official duty required
them to allow only two-thirds of a just
claim? A certain economical Board re-
duced the pay of jurors to one dollar a CQ
day. Finding it was operating against
he n, as the other party was using it,
they put it back , to one dollar and fifty
cents, the amount allowed by law. The
county collects in fall taxes from honest
tax-pajers to meet all just county claims,
and when preseuted they should be paid
in fall with no reduction. Men who are
so eager to reduce reasonable and honest
claims against the county are generally
men disposed to skin the county for their
own personal benefit. If the county
owes them for their services they exort
the last cent, and they ought to have what
is due them. And why is it they think
their official and their christian duty re
quires of them to rob ethers of claims
justly due them from the county f If
consistency is a jewel many who think
themselves smart will never wear it.
