A WILL CAsE.-The contest over the
motion to probate the will Of Marquis
Helm, ended Yesterday, 40 far as the Conn
" Court is concerned in admitting II TO
record. The grounds Of the contest grew
from the fact that most Of the property
had been willed to J. X. and Doc Helm,
when other heirs Of equal expectations hal
been left comparatively out in the cold.
They claimed that the old gentleman had
been unduly influenced in the requests,
and hence the suit. The testimony elicit
ed showed bad state Of Affairs existing in
the Helm family for years. Quarrels,
reaching almost to blows, ordinations and
determinations have been the order Of the
day, and these skeletons in the closet we're
all trotied out during the trial to the de-
location Of the spectators. Squire Car
son, ewing To the inability Of Judge Brown
To III by reason Of his relationship to one
OF the contestants, was agreed on as Judge,
aud he gave the case his closest attention.
Hill Il Alcon represented the Helms, aud
WEIGH a Sauaey, and Judge J. NJ. Philips,
the contestants. The ease will 20 TO the
Circuit Court.
TuRSPIKEs.-From Commissioner $. $.
McRoherts' annual report Of the receipts
aud expenditures Of the turnpikes in this
county We find that there are in the county
1856 miles Of tumpiker, To the construction
Of which the county contributed 500 per
mile. In whole or in part, there are Is
turnpikes in the county, with 80 toll-gates,
and the total receipts by theA for the year
were sl9, 422.5S, and the expenditures. in
Guiding the dividends Of some Of them,
were Sl7, 554.sS. All Of the turnpikes are
out Of debt, except four, one Of which is
hopelessly insolveni; another may pay out
in number Of years, while the other two
have small debts, which, with good man
agement, they can soon pay. The county
has received during the year S695 in divi
bends, and Mr.. McRoberts thinks that they
can easily be made TO reach $1,000 per
year IL the killing of Of dead heads be e.
fected. The average expenditures per mile
for repairs for the year have been very
different. The Danyille and Crab Orchard
road has cost SlGO per mile; the Danville
aud Hustonville $500; the Crab Orchard
and Lancaster $50; the Stanford and Ian
caster 500; the Stanford and II1stonville
500 and the Stanford and Halls Gap Sl29.
All Of the county's subscriptions to the
tnrnpikes have been paid, which amount
TO S67, 800, and although the interest on
the investment is small, the county can
boast Of splendid roads, and a great num-
Der Of them, which has been big factor in
increasing the value Of the lands that lie
along them.
