Yesterday Sheriff Conner received :
telegram from Sheriff Rogers, of Coopel
county, to meet him at the union depot
an the arrival OF the south bound train. a.
he had some important bushes to transac,
with him. On the arrival Of the train
Sheriff Conner Was on hand to meet the
sheriff, who had in his possession an aged
insane man named Pat Kelly. whom he
turned over TO Sheriff Conner, telling him
that he had an order from the county court
Of Cooper instructing him to do so. The
sheriff then left Mr.. Conner and his charge.
and again took his seat in the car. Not
knowing what to do in the premises, Sheriff
Conner took the old gentleman before the
county judges, who were holding a
meeting. and asked for instructions as tn
what TO do with him, On inquiring into
the facts in the ease, the Judges immedi-
ately issued an order instructing the sheriff
To return Kelly back to Boonville on the
first train. This was done, he being ac
there by deputy Sheriff Allen
Conner, ON the 7:l5 train last night. The
Cooper county authorities claim that
Kelly was ut one time resident of this
county, which is not true. as he never did
reside here. The unfortunate old man
presented horrible appearance, as he was
very filthy and ragged. lie thinks that
every body is trying to do him some bodily
harm.

A portrait of Old Dayy Crockett, as
he appeared when a member Of the
United States Congress from West
Tennessee, along in the thirties, was
in The hands OF a well-known citizen
yesterday, and he was out looking for
an artist to have it touched up. The
gentleman was advised TO let it remain
just as it is, as it will be a valuable
relic in its present shape a generation
or so hence. The portrait was painted
twenty-five or twenty-three years ago
for the old Crockett Hose Company Of
this city, and it was copied from a
family portrait in possession Of the
relatives Of Col. Crockett. Those
famous warriors, the Crockett
Rangers, who went out from this city
to the wars, and did as much hard
fighting and arduious service, as we'll
as more tricks than any company from
the South, unless it wa the equally
famous Louisiana Tigers, derived
their name from the old Crockett
Hose Company. Many Of the soldiers
formerly belonged to this historical
FIRE phalanx.

State and County Taxes

This is the very last day any State and
county taxes for the year 1881 can be
received by the County Trustee with
out penalty. The tax has really been
delinquent since the first Monday in
this month, but as several Of the con-
stables had not given bond, the bills
against persons in their districts have
been held by Trustee McGowRn until
to-day, and he has not attached the
penalty when the bills'were paid at his
office. The law provides, however,
that after ten days the Trustee shall
certify all unpaid tax bills to the
Sheriff. This is the tenth day, and
the bills were being rapidly certified
BY the Trustee this forenoon, prepare
tory to turning them over to the
Sheriff. The total tax is $l94,575.32,
and it is estimated that at least fifty
per cent gift is yet due and unpaid.
