THE DELINQuENTS MUST PAY.
Treasurer Miller Determined to Collect All
Taxes Due the County.

County Treasurer Miller is devotiug a good
part of his energy and time TO collecting delin-

the matter, and watches the work Of his collect

commendable in an official who does not want

It was suggested to him yesterday that his
superabundant industry in endeavoring to clear
off the delinquent tax,list would cause him DO

PRICES IN PLAIN FIGURES.
PETTIS, BASSETT & CO..

THE FISCHER PIANOS are especial favorites
with our best teachers ana schools, as well as
many of the best musical families in Indianap
oils Louisville and Cincinnati.
They will be found in many respects supe-
rior to some Pianos for which the highest rank
is claimed
We have sold several thousand of these
Pianos in the past few years, and find the de-
mand constantly increasing as their merit
becomes more widely known.
The pronounced preference of over seventy
thousand purchasers, and the emphatic in
dcrsement of the profession and those who
are best posted, justify us in saying that the
Fischer Pianos are without an equal among
moderate priced. Pian0s. They meet the wants
of those desiring thoroughly reliable instru-
ment with full, rich, oven tone of musical
quality, yet possessing brilliancy and clear

rability. D. FL. BALDWIN & CO.,

In many counties of this State,
as well as other States, there are
rings formed, commonly known as
Courthouse cliques. These rings
manage to keep the Offices under
their control and grow fat by a
system of robbing and extortions
in overcharged fees. We can say
with pride that the uninterrupted
reign of the Republican party in
Blount for the last few years is ir-
reproachable. From careful ex-
animation of the county records
we feel safe in saying to the people
that their interests are being prop.
erly and wisely cared for by the
present corps of officials. AS the
coming campaign draws near il
behooves the party to stand in solid
phalanx to meet opposition from
whatever source it may eminate
We are happy to say that Blount
Republicanism needs no defense
nor owes no apologies for misdeeds
in the past. 1t needs no premium
for honorable action. All that il
necessary for victory is unity and
honest, aggressive work. The pat
ty is a unit and will be despite al
efforts of designing politicians t(
weaken our ranks. BlOunt must
roll up her usual majority in the
victory that is coming.

: Two weeks since we gave state
ment, to the effect that the sale of
liquors cost the tax payers of
Blount County $4,000. We received
our information from Mr.. G. A.
Brown. We did not ask him for
the basis of his calculation. There
now seems to be some misgiving
from what this large sum originat-
Ell. We therefore request Mr..
Brown to give a statement of it.
We have it from the clerk of the
Circuit Court that the witness fees
in the Circuit Court and before the
Grand Jury amounted to $243.15.
This does not include service Of

Below We give additional pro-
ceedings of the January Term of
the County Court:
TAX ASSESSMENT FOR 1886.
County, 80 cents per 800 and 10
cents special. School, 20 cents per
800 and 80 cents on poll. r. r., 40
cents per 800 and 26 cents on poll.
Road, II cents per 800 and 5 days
work. Total, $l.56 per 800 and
$l.75 on poll. This is So cents cheap
er per hundred than the assessment
of 1885, owing to the back interest
being paid up in full.
The privilege taxes for 1886 were
assessed for county purposes the
same as the levy for State, which
is reduction of nearly One-half.

The Chairman's salary was fixed
at $3.50, the same as last year.

d3bson fer Chancellor.


The candidacy Of Hon. Henry II.
Gibson for chancellor in the Knox
Vile division, deserves more than a
passing notice. 1t is happy indi.
cation when men so we'll fitted in
every particular for judicial posi-
tiOn, come to the front as aspirants
to the bench. 1t has been the curse
Of the state, the annoyance Of the
bar and the dread Of litigants that
the judges Of Tennessee, with few
exceptions, are slothful, neglectful
and disregardful of the interests of
litlgants, and in some cases, alas!
incompetent. Nature has done
much to fit Col. Gibson for services
in the judiciary and his practices
in every day life for fifteen years;
his pre,lisposition to thoughtful
ness, studying, research, reasoning
has developed the judicial side of
his character and made him a
Judge in the fullest sense of the
term. Though comparatively y
young man, it Is doubtful If there is
a lawyer in the state who is his su.
perior. He is known to be one Of
the most methodical business men
in the country, and his cOnclu.
sions, even of the most ordinary
questions, are reached by the
strongest reasoning. His sober
conservatism and the sturdy habits
of his everyday life are living ex-
amples worthy of imitation by
young men. He has held a good
many responsible positions,
and in neither has he failed to
prove himself the marked superior
to his predecessor. Courteous,
learned, with a high sense of JUS
tice and well-pOised, he is only out
of proportion In that he is mentally
as much greater and broader than
a majority of men in the state, as
he is physically smaller. We have
said this much of gentleman
whose capabilities we happen to
know pretty thoroughly, because
we hope to see his superior talents
properly recognized in the next
election, and because it is high
time that Tennesseans were laying
aside personal and political predu-
dices in selecting the state judicia-
ry and electing men to the bence
solidly because of their perfect fit.
ness. One started in the judicial
line we shall expect to see Col. Glib
soh reach the highest round in the
ladder-simply because he will
merit it.-NatiOnal Review.

Governor of this State, but If he is
really thinking about it from a
Democratic stand point, we beg to
assure him that he hasn't the ghost

want him. He is too plucky, has
too much brains, too much back
