Around the stove at the Country store

Around the Stove at the Country Store.
1t is impossible to fully understand the
historical developement, not Of Chester
county alone but OF the entire state, with
out taking into consideration the part
these country stores have in shaping it. 1t
can hardly be disputed that it has been the
sentiment of the rural population rather
than of the city jewellers that has given
distinctive color both to general and to
local history. And it is not too much to
say that up to a late day few laws were
recorded upon the statute books that had
not been first discussed and approved in
country stores. Before the time of farm
ers' clubs and newspapers in every house
and even now in remote towns-they
were the only places where the towns
people could get themselves into the cur
rent of human thought. They met to
talk about everything. Scattered and I'M
formed opinions c~rystalized and took
shape in debates around the stove, lead
ing to a lasting force in our civil pclity.-

How a,ColoneI Received Promotion.

A friend told me how thec colonel of his
regiment secured promotion. It is a fair
sample of how sham military reputation
is manufactured. The regiment was in
action in the open, this in the southwest

horseback in the rear of his regiment, just
where he should have been. The Confed-
crate sharpshooters saw an officer on
horseback and began to pay attention to
him The colonel, finding that the sharp
shooters had selected him for atarget,
was greatly alarmed, and thought he was
to be killed. He did not dare to ride off

An Adventure on the Slirmish Line

ture.
"That reminds me-" said q northsider,
shat there is now living in Chicago the
hero of a furniture scrape or adventure on
the skirmish line. In February, 1868, sew
eral brigades of Gen. Rosecrans's army oc-
cupied positions south of Murfreesboro, on
the McMinnville pike. These had felt their
way after the battle of Stone river as Tar
to the front as it was safe to go, and fort1-
fed camps were established at Cripple
creek, Reedyville, and other points in sup
porting distance. Our brigade was camped
oa the bluff at the crossing of Cripple
creek, and we discovered when we had
been there a few days that we were in the
midst of q settlement somewhat divided in
sentiment.
"One day IN old gray-headed man came
to the picket line with the story that a
battalion of rebel cavalry were at Halls,
Hills, three miles down the stream. No
one believed this until a message came
from the signal corps to the effect that a
large body of Confederate cavalry was In
our immediate front. An hour later, or
just before dark, several men approached
our picket post, and preparations were
made to receive them as enemies. The
man on the lookout came running back to
say that it was the queerest crowd he had
ever seen.
Looking down the rough road the men
formed in line ready to fire, saw a process
sion of men stumbling along under heavy
burdens. One man carried a table on his
head, legs up; another carried a mattress,
another had a bureau on his shoulder.
There were seven or eight men in line, and
each one carried some article of furniture.
When first challenged they declined to
stop, and a rifle was fred to bring them to
a halt.
"The mar in front put down his burden
and protested with great vehemence
against the shot that had splintered Il
of the legs of the table He was so con-
cerned about his table that ha failed to ex-
plain his own conduct. But at last the
story came out. He was aUnion man who
lived about five miles distant, and as the
Confederate cavalry had stolen all his
horses, taken his wagons, n threatened
to return and burn all his furniture, he
called some of his neigh5ors together and
they were carrying that furniture five
miles to get it inside the Union lines. They
were hot with labor, irritable and nervous,
but were determined to get their house
hold goods to a place of safety.
proper arrangements were made, and
in time the families were moved inside the
lines. They located temporarily between
the camp and Murfreesboro, then at a
later date went North. When l returned

SUPREME COUNT SUSTAINED.

aovernor Adams Wins Another
Rouud-Laughton Knocked Out
Inv she Decision OF Ia District
Court-rhe J Justice OF she h
only chance Left for the "I.ittlc
Governor"
To satisfy the general public interest
manifested in the controversy between the
Governor and Lieutenant Governor Of Ne
yads a Virginia Chronicle reporter recently
interviewed q prominent and well-posted
resident OF that city, who furnished the
following statement OF the origin OF the
difficulty that led to the busting of Mr..
Lsughton from the ofice Of State Libra
rian:
Immediately after the adjournment OF
the last Legislature Governor Adams was
called to San Francisco. Before taking his
departure he left in the hands OF the Lieu
tenant Governor the unfinished business OF
the session, consisting OF q few bills which
had not yet been acted upon, giving. at the
timo. his views OF the disposition to bs
made OF them. Mr.. Laughton, II seems,
acted contrary 10 the Governors instrue-
tions regarding one or two OF these bills,
disposing Of them according to his "
views, and thereby placed the Governor in
q false light before his constituents. When
Governor Adams returned and learned the
facts, he felt deeply hurt at the action OF
the Lieutenant Governor. and denounced
the action OF Mr.. Lsughton as dishonora-
BILE, and has since refused to recognize him
except when required to do SO in the per-
formance of his official duties.
Soon after the Governors return sew
eral OF the sureties Withdrew their names
from Laughton's bond as ex.officio State
Librarian. The lattor was duly notified
of their withdrawal and ample time given
him to obtain new bondsmen; but he
failed or neglected to do 30 and went off
on a iunketiug expedition TO Seattle,
Washington Territory. The Governor.
considering the office of State Librarian
vacated by the failure OF Mr.. Laughton
to comply with the laws OF the State. APP
pointed a very worthy citizen of Gold
Hill to the office. and his action on the
matter was sustained by the Supreme
Court.
Had Mr.. Laughton. at the time Of the
withdrawal OF his bondsmen, complied
with the law, which he had sworn TO obey,
there would have been no necessity for
the appointment of a new State Librarian.
The Lieutenant Governor recently
brought an action in the District Court Of
Ormsby to compel the Governor TO approve
his new bond as Librarian and the case
was decided against him.
While disclsiming any particular knowl-
edge OF the law. our informant is puzzled
to know how the distinguished lawyers
who represented the Lieutenant Governor
could expect the Ormsby @ ounty District
Oourt TO reverse a decision Of the Supreme
court OF the State. Tits presumed that
she same reasoning which induced Mr..
Laughter to take his case TO the District
court. may induce him to begin proceed
ings In she Justices Court Of Carson,
wnion Is the only tribunal now left to
which he can appeal.

on q strike. and have more fun with less
money than q monkey with q cage full of

comes to view the matter over he will re-
wise his opinion. There Is nothing that
can take the place of the old-time compos-
itor. unless ii possesses some of the ingre-
dients of q cyclone. And. in due respect

SCORED BIZ THE GRAND JURY.

The sheriff OF EikO County I'm.

The Elko Independent prints the repors

IL contains interesting reading. The
Clerk, Treasurer, Assessor and Superin-
tendent OF Schools sre complimentedf for the
satisfactory manner in which they have
performed their duties. but the other
| officers are scored as follows:
%sHERIFF's OFFICE.
We find numerous firms doing business
under a lower license than is required to
be paid by law. and recommend that the
proper amounts be collected hereafter, Q
list OF such firms having been handed by
US to the Sheriff. We have noticed Q few
Irregularities in his books, to which fact
we have called the attention OF the County
Commissioners; otherwise they are SUBJ
stantially correct. In view OF the numer-
Gus escapes from the county Jail through
the carelessness OF the Sheriff and his
deputies, we have deemed il our duty to
find an indictment against Deputy Sheriff
J. Fl. Taber for gross negligence in office,
in allowing one W. Booker to escape while
held for assault to commit murder. We
censure the Sheriff for permitting persons
committed for felony or any other crime
to be taken out of the Jail. except by due
process Of law
AUDITOR AND RECORDER.
In this Office we find many Irregularities.
He has collected fees from the county
largely in excess OF the amount allowed by
law, o~veroharged individuals in nearly
every instance for recording deeds and
mortgages. In the extension Of the ASSESS
ment roll he has collected more than three
times the amount to which he is legally en-
titled. He has not complied with the law in
filling correct quarterly reports. and
emitting to keep Q true record OF business
in his fee book. In accordance with the
above facts we b ave handed to the Dis
trict Attorney an accusation in writing
against W. W. Rogers, County Auditor and
Recorder, for extortion and willful mis-
conduct in Office.
DIsrRIC ATTORNEY.
We carefully examined the delinquent
assessment roll, and all moneys collected
therefrom have been paid to the proper
officer. We think the unsatisfactory con-
dition OF the Auditor and Recorders office
is 10 a measure due to the carelessness or
incompetency Of this Office in giving
advice to the County Commissioners. he
having passed upon tho correctness Of
several bills, which the Grand Jury have
found to be incorrect, Notwithstanding the
law upon the subject ia very plain.
COMMISSIONERS.
We think the Commissioners have been
somewhat derelict in the discharge OF their
duties In not becoming more familiar with
the laws pertaining to their Office. through
carelessness, in many instances, allowing
bills in excess OF the amount legally pre-
scribed. Also. in not requiring the Audi
tor to refund the amounts overpaid him,
they being cognizant Of the fact OF his
having been o%verpaid since November,
and now recommend that they take the
necessary steps to recover such amounts.
We believe they should take more time to
examine the bills brought before them.
