The article in last weeks Press Banner en-
appointing an expert to investigate the
books Of our county official as well as COM
mending the services Of the expert, was not
by any means censuring our county officers,
for the signCrs Of said article did not endorse
the entire action, manner of prescntment,
personal correspondence, &C. but only the in
vestigation Of the books and the appointment
of an expert for said duty. In fact the prin-
cipcl object in view was to publicly express
the voice of this people in overhauling the
State books. The slgners arc friends OF our
county officers and not few of the slgnerS
will stand by them through evil as well as

We heard the name Of the Rey. b. +. Mil
Ter, suggested as a compentent person to take
charge Mt. Carmels high school. We trust
there is some foundation In this report, as we
know he is fully competent, ana believe the
trustees could not secure the service of one
who would be more faithful in the discharge
OF his duties and who would be more ac-
ccptable to this people. Put your name before
the trustees Bro. Miller and let us bid for
you. We would be glad to give you hearty
welcome to our town.
Crops are growing and doing well, and our
farmers seem to be in better spirits.

man, and the conduct OF our present county

howl against these officers whom the grand
Jury acquitted by their words and actions, and
against whom the court found no faults. Let
us give the subject cnrcful.and honest consid-
Grafton and we will be more charitable in our
Observation-Disclosures that we too have faults
and commit errors dally-and where IS the
