directed at each other. Finally they took the Coun-
ty Judge in hand and related many amusing ancc-
dotes OF him, one Of which is too good to be lost.
1t appears that the county judge got the idea fixed
in his brain, that Of the county officers were
little too much inclined to handle the money Of the
county he therefore scrutinized their bills with a
sharp eye One Of the oficcrs desired to obtain re-
enumeration for cord Of wood and box Of candles
which he had furnished for the use Of the court.
The Judge could find nothing in the law about
wood and candles and refused to audit the bill. The
officer then made bill for stationary including the
wood and candles and submitted it to the court, at
the same time bringing to bear nearly all the legal
learning of the county: after argument and the ci-
tation of numerous authorities the Judge concluded
that the wood was Stat onary but declared that
the candles were not stationary the candles were
therefore rejected, and remain unpaid for to this
day.
