There is quite neighborhood of Eng
lishmen about mile south of town, called
Selma. Thrift, sobriety and industry are
the prevailing characteristics of the COM
munity. About twenty months ago three
young Englishmen came to Kenosha Coun-
ty and settled in Selma. They were all
single when they came, but they all had
their sweethearts back in England and now
they are all married. The last one to join
the ranks of benedicts was Mr.. Sydney NJ.
Jones. About two weeks ago he took fly
ing trip to New York, and when he re-
turned young lady accompanied him. Her
name was Miss Mabel Toms, of Ivy Bridge,
] Devonshire, England. She visited at Rev.
Harry Thompson's until the preparations
for housekeeping had been completed.
Last Sunday at 5 p. M, in st. Matthews
church, in the presence of a couple of
friends, Rev. Harry Thompson performed
the ceremony which united Mr.. Sydney M.
Jones and Miss Mabel Toms in the holy
bonds of matrimony. After the ceremony
the happy couple repaired to their home,
which had been furnished AMI adorned be-
forehand. Mr.. Jones came from Exeter,
Devonshire, England, bought land in Selma
and has been pursuing the proper course to
become good American citizen. This
country would welcome many more like
him. He has won many friends in this
country, who unite in wishing him happy
and prosperous career.
The County Board of Supervisors as
sembied in the Court House Tuesday abcut
1:30 p. M, for their November session.
They organized by re-electing Mr.. HI. r.
Lavey chairman of the board. The choice
was practically unanimous, as Mr.. Lavey
has made very efficient chairman in past
years. The only important piece of work
accomplished in the afternoon was the ap-
pointment and approval of the standing
committees for this and the next session.
The following are the committees:

It will be seen that they are composed Of
a body of men who are statesmen compared
to the majority on the City Council of Ke
nosha. The gentlemen composing the
committees on Sheriff and Justices accounts
will have their hands unusually full this
year In fact, all the committees will have
more work than usual, and it is hardly
probable that this session of the board will
be shorter than two weeks. 1t is to be
hoped the board will face the matter of
Sheriff's salary and accounts with frmness
and settle it for good There is probably
no doubt that the action of the board four
years ago fixing the Sheriff's salary at
one thousand dollars year was legal and
they have no right to compromise on any
sum. The Sherif's bills for the keeping of
prisoners, including the tramps, figured at
the legal rates will probably have to be
paid unless fraud or collision on the part
of the officers can be shown. The Justices
bills will also be scrutinized very carefully.
The taxpayers of Kenosha County are will
Ing to pay reasonably and even literally
for good service on the part of its officers,
but they do object to being hled to pay any
mans electioneering expenses This board
should also repair the injnstice they did to
the Sheriff last year in adjourning without
appropriating any money for the legitimate
expenses of the Sheriff's Office.
