The'most of the discussion
was of a personal political ped-
egree nature and no on was
enlightened as to how to get
along without taxes and court
houses. - .
The fact is the court house
will be built right away, taxes
will be collected very - few
cents of it for court house
courts and county affairs will
proceed, and it is Wrong to be
always trying to get the towns
to fight and to get the people
prejudiced. There is room for
all and all must necessarily
grow together, or all will be
injured together.

pleasant way. He. -however
keeps the business proceeding,

A writ of mandamus was'
served on J. G. Hackett,

directors, asking him to show
cause why convicts have not

work on "our road as some
feared. Mr. Hackett informs
us that the reason the convicts
have not been sent is because
the penitentiary haven't the
