An inquiry.

We have been asked by several
taxpayers Of the late Taxing Dis.
trict Of Maryville as to the con.
dition Of the town financially, how
much money has been expended
for different purposes, for what pur.
poses, and how much will be turn.
ed over to-the County. There hes
been no report during the term d
the last officials. It Is perfectly
right that the persons who have
been compelled to pay corpora
ton tax should know where their
money has gone. 1t has also been
asked us the object In employing
an attorney.
We ask these questions for the
benefit Of the public and a desire in
good faith to know.

There have been no deaths in said

count Of the construction Of the

inmates to be confined together.
But with care the health Of the
prisoners can be preserved, unless
some unforeseen disease breaks out
among the inmates. But with the
present laws Of the state regulating
jails and county asylums and cpl
demic diseases that may occur in
the county, the County health Of
Acer In connection with the Judge
OF Chairman Of the County Court,
and Clerk Of said Court, have pow.
er by law to see that such sanitary
measures are carried out that will
protect the lives and health Of the
people in case epidemics Of dan
Gerous character should take place
in the county. In the past sia
months there has been no epidem
