COUNTY AFFAIRS AGAIN.
Editor Erehange:

Editor Exchange:
There are many reader of your pa
per and especially that portion OF
them who are interested in county
affairs, would like 10 STE published "a
statement of the Indebtedness of
Gibson county. To use the language
of the Trenton Globe, ut would lie
good reading to the people" Will
the court, or some member of it give
the information desired? The peo~
pie of the county have a right to
know how mut h the outstanding in>
debtelness Of the county is. There
are occasionally reports made to the
court by the chairman of that body
on the Indebtedness of the county,
hut whether those reports were ever
understood by the members of the
court or not, is II question gravely
doubted. Whether it is from stupid.
ity, IA want of investigation upon the
part of the members of the court, or
the manner in which the reports are
made, leave for others to say. The
people want faithful representatives.
who will look to their interest and
not he wasteful Of The means entrust-
ed to their care. But as long as our
present system continues, the people
may expec: waste and extravaganza.
The members Of the court are seats
tered over the county engaged in diff
ferent occupations as means Of liv-
ing. They are only called together
quarterly for the purpose of transac'-
ing the business of the county, per.
haps without much thought or con.
sideration of what will come up be-
tore them for action; and before the
day is spent, most of the members of
the court become very restless to re-
turn home to their families. and the
business is rushed through without
due thought or consideration. The
pay Of each member will not Justify
him in remaining over all night. If
we had different system, say three
intelligent business men to transact
the business of the county, with sut-
fcient pay to justify them in giving
their time to county matters, in my
opinion it would be a great relief to
the tax payers Of Gibson county.

JIM'S KIDS.

Jim was a tisherman-up on the hill.
Over the beach lived he an his wife,
Ia a little house-you see il still
An their two fair boys; upon my life
You never seen two liyeiier kids,
In spite O their antics an tricks an
noise,
Than them two boys.
Jim would go cut in his boat on the sea-
just as the rest of us fishermen did
And when he come back at night thar'dbe
Up to his knees in surf eoch kid,
A beck'nin' and cheeIin' TO Fisherman
jim
He'd hear EN- you bet, above the roar
OF the waves on the shore,
But one night jim came a sailin, home
And the little kids weren't on the
sands
Jim kinder wondered they hadn't come.
And a tremble took hold o. his knees
and hands,
And he learnt the worst up on the hill
In the little house, and he bowed his
head
The fever" they said.
Twas an awful time for Fisherman Jim,
With them darlins' a dyin' afore his
ewes
They KEEP a calm and beck min him,
For they kind O. wandered in mind
their cries
Were about the waves and Fishermen Jim,
And the little boat a sailin' for shore
Till they spoke no more.
Well, Fisherman Jim lived on and on,
And his hair grew white and the wrinkles
anne
But he never smiled and his big heart
seemed gone,
And he never was heard to speak the
name
OF the little kids who were buried there
Up on the hill in sight O the sea,
Under a willcr tree.
One night they came and told me to haste
TO the house on the hill, for jim was
sick,
And they told me l hadn't no time to
waste,
For his tide was ebbin' powerful quick,
An he seemed to be wanderin' and crazy
like
An a seem sights he oughtn't to see
An had called for me.
And Fisherman jim, sez he to me,
Its my last, last cruise-you under

But of on the further shore, on the
sand,
Are the kids, who's a becknin' and calm
my name,
Jes' as they did-ah, mate, you know
In the long ago"
No sir he wasn't afeared to die,
For all that night he seemed to see
His little boys Of the years gone by.
And to hear sweet voices forgot by me:
An just as the morning sun came up
They're a holding me by the hands!'
he cried
And SO be died.

A BILL.

Mr.. Morcier Of Albuquerque, prizes a
Confederate 50 hill Cf September :. 1861
on the back Of which Is printed the follow
ing:
Representing nothing on Gods earth now,
And naught in the waters below 1t:
As "a pledge Of a nation that's dead and
gone,
Keep il dear friend. and show 1t,
Show to those who will lend an ear,
To the tale that this paper can tell,
OF liberty. born Of the patriots dream;
or n storm-cradled nation that fell.
Too poor to possess the precious ores,
And too much Of u stranger TO borrow,
We issued to-day our promise to pay,
And hoped 10 redeem on the morrow,
The days rolled by ard weeks became
years,
But our Golfers were empty still,
Coin was so far that the treasury d quake
II a dollar should drop in the til.
But the faith hat WAS in us was strong in
deed,
And our poverty well VIC discerned,
And these little checks represented the
pay
That our suffering veterans earned.
W knew it had hardly a value in gold,
Yet as gold the soldier received it;
Il gazed in u eyes with a promise to
pay,
And each patriot soldier believed it.
But our boys thought little of prize or
pay,
Or of bills that were over due;
We knew hat if it bought us our bread to-
day
1t was the best our poor country could
do,
Keep it, il tells all our history over,
From the birth Of the dream TO its last;
Modest, and born of the Angel Hope,
Like our hopes of success it passed,
