Upon which to mako my report in the
premises. Is
Respectfully,
.., Referee.
We learn th,t ssveral attsmbts
havo been made by the attorneys Of
the opfosihg PARTIES to appoint a day,
but they have not yet succeeded. The
illness Of Air. Melton has delayed tho
reference. We are not blaming any
particular ohe. We merely wish to
have the money divided, us it is now
doing nobody any good save the
Bauk in which it accidentally hap pen
ed to be placed: Wo have beef told
that n Citizen Of this county was in
town recently to get sotle Of tho
money. He paid his taxes, and now
lie has nothing save warrants on the
TREASURY which he oatihot get cashod.
Ho came to Winasb,ro, leaving his
family in waht OF tho simplest neoos-
saries of life. Ho eau get nothing.
1t is high tlue that such Instances
as those would awaken our people
to the necessity Of working earnestly
to obtain al honest government.
ew We want d map Of Fairfield.
The only map we hatb of tho Cbunty
was made when our grandfathets
In knee breeches and queues were
sparkling our grandmothefs, ahd it
looks like old Ptolemy's map of the
world. Neither the fourisbiug CITY
of Blaekstooks, nor Its rival bucgs
Ridgeway and Doko aid Alstoh are
honored with a place. In these fast
days We must have map so that
every one oah tell whsro he lives.
The County COMMISSIONERS should
appropriate some money, and the
towns of W innsb orc and
Blackstook should have small tnabs
of themselves in the right and left
hand lower corners respectively and
should also give q little douceur for
this privilege. We have no doubt
if n good map were prepared ahd
sold for about two or three dollars
a copy, it would sell wcll.
A gentleman in the County is
ready to get up map if he receives
the proper encouragement. 1t is
Souhty necessity.
