The BIunders or Pecu1atiOns of the
Fayette County TreaSury--Vhat are
we Going to do About Them!

The discovery of enormous amounts
charged by the Treasurer and paid
by the taxpayers in excess of their
legal taxes, has produced a wild
excitement among the people, and
there is general outcry for effective meas
ures to secure the taxpayers against any
possibility or risk of loss. The great mass
of our taxpayers, trusting to the accuracy
and honesty of the County Treasurer, paid
without question the amounts charged in
their receipts, many of them being
greatly in excess Of the true amount of
taxes due on the duplicate; all of which
he received in his capacity as County
Treasurer, andconsequently was bound to
account for every cent so received to the
proper officers at the proper time as pro-
vided by law. I understand that the Pro-
bate Judge ordered an examination of the
Treasury; subsequently Commissioner
johnson was appointed by the State Audi
tor and lastly the Board of County Com
missioners made an examination at their
last regular session, and afterwards when

OBITUARY.

q
The presence of death has seldom pro-
duced greater surprise and sadness than
in the case of Rev Wenham Kidder For
more than year he had labored with great
fidelity as Pastor of the Baptist Church in
this place; and had secured the warm af-
fections and confidence of all who knew
him.
As a minister of the gospel he had but
few equals in the talent, ability and educa-
ton; and bright, useful and prosperous
future seemed to awate him. A short
time since he accepted call as Professor
of Music in Ghent College, Ky, which
office he intended to fill in connection
with Ministerial labors. Soon after enter
ing upon professional duties he was attack
ed by bilious remittant fever, which after
his return home, proved fatal in thirteen
days.
He leaves wife and child to mourn his
loss, and many loved ones and friends Ia
ment his untimely death. They sorrow
not, even as others who have no hope, for
they feel assured that a bright crown
of rejoicing await him in Heaven.
BLESSED are the dead which die in the
Lord, yes, saith the Spirit, that they may
| rest from their labOrs and their works do
follow them"

THE BLECTIONI
FayGttG County All Riglt, As Usual
REPUBLICAN, MAJORITY, 482!
The sNew Deal" Postponed,

The election in this county last Tuesday
resulted in a grand Republican victory.
The entire ticket being elected, with the
exception of Commissioner, by majorities
ranging from 345 to 482-the latter figure
being the exact majority of Gov. Noyes
last year.
The Democracy made fierce and dirty
fight, and were in high hopes of success,
on account of local matters out of which
they vainly attempted to make extensive
capital. But their hopes have fallen. In
spite of their desperate efforts. their ticket
was decently whipped, and Fayette has
sustained her reputation and repeated the
majority oflast year. Liberal Republican
and Democratism stands no chance in Fay
cite. She will roll up majority in No
vember for Grant & Wilson that will
make the Greeleyites hunt their holes.
