Of an account that has grown baldhesded
with age and feebleness. The compromise
WIS ached after full and friendly inter

tory alike TO court and claimants. The
following order was issued by the court:

and handed TO Gov. Reynolds. He placed

| Ting the account and said:
"If | can be of service TO you, gentlemen,
in booming your new bonds, i will cheer
fully respond TO any resquest YOU may
make for my assistance. But, permit me
| 10 give a word of advice. Those bonds,
every one of them, should be taken up i'll
Pe'tIs county, and not outside"
Mr. Crandall received his warrant for
$3.50, and Mr.. Sinet his warrant for $3.50.
Both gentlemen expressed their salts
faction that 4 settlement, In some shape,
had been made of the long standing &C
count Elsewhere in this issue are given
some facts regarding the above claims.
During the afternoon an elderly colorsd
woman. Aunt Liza Brown, living in the vi
cinity of the school house at LiBcolnyiile,
put in an appearance before the court and
aske" permission TO speak few words on a
very important matter. The court was in
a generous MOOD. and gave permission To
Aund Liza TO sail IL. This she did In the
breeziest kind of manner. She wanted =
load Of wood. Ii was necessary in her bust
ness. She wanted ''dat ar wood" right of,
with no unseemIy delay.
Her cause was right
And her heart strong;
Her eyes wee bright
And her tongue was long.
Aunt Liza spoke with huency, and force,
and picturesque variety of phrase and ges-
ture that could not but command attention.
She confined herself closely To her subject,
and talked of wood, nothing but wood, and
tn urgent necessity of supplying her with
wood before the day closed. Taking adj
vantage OF an instsnt's pause in the torrent
If e oquence-a pause which she made la
catch her second win., Judge Gentry re
ierred Aunt Liza 10 Deputy Sheriff Fred
Conner.
You heah de ledge" she exclaimed.
turning TO Conner. Now, honey, don't
want no fooIin'. l want dat load of wood
right off,"
Wood, oh, wood 1 had wood to
give"
"W'at kind oh talk is dat dar ?" broke in
Aunt Liza. Didn't you heah de ledge?
/ s'picion what youah racket is. Da, ar
wood has got TO come. You hesh me I"
To put a stop TO the excited talk of the
peppery African, and TO relieve himself OF
a painful and embarrassing position the
blushing deputy sheriff beckoned Aunt
Liza into the hall. As she did not return
TO the court room ii is 10 be presumed the
prayer of the petitioner was granted.
DIR. Wood, during the afternoon, called
upon the county court and requested a
modification of the charges for county IL |
cense for entertainments given In his opera |
house. His statements were listened 10 at |
tentively. The court expressed itself as
DESTROYS of being as moderate as possible |
in its tax for license for the opera house
DIR. Wood on his enierprisr !
in extending the large sum OF money re-
guired 10 build such an edifice, acknowl- |
edged the truth Of his assertion that the |
County received $500 annually from tsx-s
on the opera house, not including the
revenue from licenses for entertainments
there, and agreed to consult leading citi-
Zens as To the propTl,ty of decreasing toe
.icenss tax as asked by DR.. Wood.
The court then adjourned. The next
term will commence the first Monday In
February.
