BOARD OF SUPERVISORS OF WLKIN-
SON COUNTY,
w. A. Fits.

Appeal from the Circuit Court of Will
kinson county. Hon. j. b. Chrisman,
Judge.
CAnPELL, j., delivered delivered the
opinion of the Court.
Certain land was improperly sold for
delinquent taxes, and bought in by the
State. Fits purchased this tax title
from the State, and paid the delinquent
taxes due thereon to the county of Will
kinson. Afterwards, Fits instituted suit
against the board of supervisors of that
county to recover the amount so paid.
The board of supervisors refused to re-
fund the money so paid by Fits into
| the county treasury, because, as they
commended, vendee of the State is not
entitled to the benefit of section 5S1
Code of 1880, which provides that III
when no taxes are due on it, o.
it is not liable to be sold for taxes

The circumstances, with which the pub
lie are acquainted, attending the discussion
between Messrs. Gambrell and Black, rep
resenting the Prohibitionists, and Gen
Burkitt of the nti-Prohibitionists, at the
courthouse, on Tuesday evening, convin-
ces us that fair and unbiased discussion
of the present issues cannot be had.
We invited the distinguished, fearless
and outspoken Senator Burkitt from Clay
to visit our city, and address the public,
thinking that fairness, justice and courtesy
would be extended to him.
In this, we were disappointed, and in the
interest OF harmony in the community
must decline any further discussion

pany furnished an engineer and train
to move the dirt. The engineer was
engaged and paid by the company, and

One of the mostimportant personaRes
in this State is Judge Thomas ".
Cooley, who for years has been resi-
dent Of Ann Arbor and professor In
the university. His works on "consti-
tuiionsl law" and constitutional hml-
tations" have gained him an honorable
position among the jurists OF the
country. For years he has been
on the supreme bench OF this State
during which time his able decisions
and learned opinions did much TO
extend his influence and raise the State
Supreme Court to a high standing as

did not sever his connection with the

The ambitious Van Zilel Fame has
bestowed upon him no guerdon yet.
Neither Congressional or Senatorial
honors awaited his return. and, in the

The Song Of the Camp.


"Give US n song!" the soldiers cried,
The outer trenches guarding, ,,
While the heated guns Of the camps allied,
Grew weary Of bonbar1ing.
"Givc us a song!' the guardsmen say,
ave storm the forts Tomorrow;
Sing while we may another day
Will bring enough OF sorrow"
They lay along the batteries side,
Below The slumbering cannon,
BRAY hearts from Severn and from Clyde,
And from the banks Of Shannon.
They sang Of love and not Of fame,
Forgot was Britan's glory;
Each heart recalled different name,
But all sang "Annic Laurie
Voice after voice caught up the song,
Until Its tender passion
Swelled like All anthem rich ana anu strong
Their battle eve'S confession.
Dear girl! Her name he dared not speak,
But as the Sung grew louder,
upon the soldiers cheek,
Washed off the stains of powder.
And once again fire of hell
Rained on the Russian quarters,
Midst scream OF shot and burst of shell,
And believing of the mortars.
And Irish Nora's eyes are dim,
For a singer dumb and CORY,
And English Mary mourned for him
Who sang of "Annie Laurie"
Beyond the darkening ocean burned
The bloody sunsets embrrs;
While the Ctimcan valleys learned
How English love remembers
All soldiers. to your honored rest,
Your truth and valOr bearing,
The brave>t are the tenderest.
The loving are the daring.

It seems strange to us that the meetings OF

at towns which are not interested in the en-
terprise. Why should they have met at Aiken
81 t. month. and why should they meet this
month at Greenwood? 1t would seem 10 US
that such meetings should be at Troy, Aooe-

has either paid money to the road or voted
bonds for Its completion We are not, howev=
