LOST CREEK, Tenn. Jan. 5, 1881.
Mr.. EDITOR: Oar cour ty court met
last Monday and transacted large
amount of business, The annual
elections resulted as follows: Hon.
Isaac G. Dyer was elected chairman Of
the county court by reclamation. This
is his third triumph. He has made an
excellent chairman. and justly merits
the confidence reposed. A. T. Turner
was elected chairman pro. tenn. by &C
camstion. M II. Calvin was re elect-
ed Superintendent of education, which
gives almost universal satisfaction. for
he is live Official. He had no oppo
nent. w. A. Clapp " as elected super
intendent of the equity workhonse.
He agreed to feed the convicts at two
shillings each per day, which shows
that he expects each convict to have
ad exceedingly diminutive stomach.
John Keller got the coronership by
reclamation. All the officers filed
their bonds and entered upon the dis
charge Of their official duties.
Union county has never had better
county court than she now has. The
members are intelligent and honest,
and vie with each other in their ef-
forts ct retrenchment; the result is,
that our county warrants are worth 80
cents on the dollar, whereas it was diff
ficult to sell them eighteen months ago
at rs cents. We hope to see them sells
ing at par before the close of the pres-
eDt year.
