board In reference, among other things, to
their action at the last meeting on the ques-
ton of allowing the citizens of Mechanics
vile to vote on the question of annexation.
He declined to sign the minutes on that
suE sece saying that he deemed the action
all Illegal, and could not approve it. He
urged rigid economy in the conduct of
affairs.

dation to make, and the matter was dropped

some discussion the matter was referred

Judge J. F. J. Lewis, County Court
| clerk, by permission, made a statement
| with reference to lightning rod dealers, to
the effect that the amount charged by the
| city-$10O per annum-is entirely too ex-
cessive, in his estimation, as the county
only charges SIS. A dealer had applied for
such license, but he (the clerk thought the
| 800 item an error, and has not yet col
| lected it.
In regard to telegraph companies, they
are taxed $50 for each Office, which he also
thought an error. The company had re-
fused to pay such tax, the State tax being
only SIS in that case.

A WOMAN WITH A WHIM.

In hunting up the battle field OF
Jonesboro l came across tho usual
score of b'iud roads leading 10 one
knew where, and in following one
through the woods l came to a
point where q tence' blocked further
progress. On the other side of the
fence was "a farmer hOeing corn, and
after the usual talk about the wealth
er l asked:
"Say, colonel, is this the end of
this road 7"
This is the end'
"DOn't go any further T.
"NOt a rod"
"And I've got to ride back e.
II reckon so, bnt you'd better
come over 20 the house and have Il
bite first"
"Won': it put you to any trou
ble"
"Not a bit. Ride down into the
scrub and yon'l find u low spot
where you can jump the horse"
When l had followed directions
and reached his side he continued /:
%"Stranger, | want to post you III

down here they ripped open our
feather beds, broke open Il chests
smashed our crockery and stole our
chickens. ( never laid it up agin
'em but my wife cau't forget it.
When we reach the house she'll
take a squint at We and ask if you
are from the North. You'll say yes
and then She'll ask if you were in
the Yankee army. You'll say yes
and then she'll open on yon and
call You all sorts of hard names.
You won't pretend to hear a word,
and then she'll hpave chairs and
bootjacks and hat-irons at We and
yell for our four dogs to chaw We up.
That's a whim of hers, You see, but
she can't hit We if you IRE good at
