cities and counties are beginning to find out that re-

fcored at every turn, and the Commissioners, for

by the Supreme Court, on the shutting plea that
they had held regular annual meeting, came very
near being sent TO prison for contempt. Judge

! case of Pollock against the Commissioners of Law
! renee County delivered his opinion, last week, IN
language that may be called a settler. He said:

and NAV serve as n warning To similar operators

sale, employed LOngstreth n reaEestate AGENT to

james House an offer Of 81 COp, which the owner
declined though be- was subsequently prevailed on
BY Lonestleth 10 take 50 CO. and ut this price Mr.
House agreed TO purchase; but while the deed was
being prepared, he purchased building materials for
