COUNTY FINANCEs.-On our second
page to day appears the statement of
the county's financial affairs for the
fiscal year ending May 31st 1883.
The statement as usual is carefully
classified and arranged, SO that every
taxpayer can see the amount Of
every item and what it was used for.
We must come to the conclusion that
our fiscal affairs are well managed,
when we consider that including the
entire machinery of the courts; the
elections; the delinquent list; the
salaries Of county officers; the build
ing and maintaining of bridges and
roads; and the thousand other contin-
gent matters, the average of taxation
is only about $1.25 for each inhabi-
tant of the county. We would call
attention to another, viz: the delin-
quent list. 1t foots up but $34.15. A
good portion of this is due from young
men who own no property but were
assessed here and removed from the
county before the sheriff begun to
collect, thus really reducing the list
to ten or fifteen dollars. Can any
other county in the State make any
thing like as good showing? We
doubt it.

AN EXCHANGE says: 'Never be-
lieve, much less propagate, an eyilre-
port of ncighbor without good evil
dence Of its truth; never listen to an
infamous story handed to you by n
man who is inimical to the person
DETAINED, or who is himself apt to de-
fame his neighbors, or who is wont
to sow discord among brethren and
excite disturbance in society. Never
utter the evil which YOU know or sus-
pcct ofanother till you have an oppor-
tunity to expostulate with him.
Never speak evil of another while you
are under the influence of anger, but
wait till your spirits are cooled down,
that you may better judge whether
to utter or suppress the matter"

GOOD NeHs From Texas.

81 have been suffering during several years
from severe illness, and general breaking
down Of my physical system, and have tried
the treatment and prescriptions Of many
doctors far and near, and travelled to the Hot
Springs and other mineral springs famous for
their remedial'qualities. drinking the waters
and bathing systematically in their healing
depths, but all to no avail. as 1 steadily failed
in health; and although informed BY my phys.
.s.is.s that my ailments and weaknesses were
the result Of kidney disease Of q DANGEROUS
character, they could give ne aothine 10 cure
me. Durins the past tive years my sufsr,nRs
at times were dreaafal, and had the most
indeacribsble pains in the REGIONS about the
kidneys, the paroxysms Of which were 40
severe as to render 1t impossible to me to slsep
While In this deplorable and DISCOURAGED con-
dition I was persuaded to try Hunts Remedy.
and after using less than half bottle nv
great suHerings and paroxysms of pain were
entirely relieved, and 1 could sleep better and
longer than had in two years before. and
although am now on my third bottle oply
my improvement is very remarkable, and /
regret that did not know of the wonderful
curative powers Of Hunts Remedy before, as
It would have saved me years Of suffering. I
heartily recommend it 10 all afflicted with
any kidney disease or disease of the urinary
organs"

meeting held by the executive COM
mittee of the SO called Sanitary Coun
Gil Of the Mississippi Valley on the

there was nobody perspiring with

worry about the matter. There was
nothing in it except that the
widow Of the late National Board

pass around the hat and try to collect
enough funds TO continue business in

is no news in the disc osure, unless it
is that the Taxing District WSs OrS

ity comes from for lot Of outsiders to

what no lawyer can find out. It
shows, however, the fertile resources

RandaIl's Chances.
Courier-Journa


mr. Randall's eyes are much larger
than his judgment is correct. His
little boom among his fellow protec-
tionists and the significantly unani'
nous support of the Republican press
turned his head, and the other day,
when Mr.. Dexter Dunn, Of Arkansaw,
announced himself Randall man,
the latter thought he saw q solid
South" rallying to his support and
gleefully cried out through the AssO-
ciated Press that he was to be the
next Speaker of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. Now, some of Mr.. Dunu's
associates come to the front and sf-
feetually squeleh that gentlemsn's en-
thusiastic predictions. 1t seems that
Mr.: Randall's support from the South
will be remarkably scattering, and
that he will be lucky to get seventy
votes In the caucus.
