COnamissi0ners Meeting.

The board of county commissioners mel
in special session on Tuesday for the purpose
of considering the best metbed to adopt in re-
parting the great damage inflicted on the roads
and bridges by the recent storm. We bad
expected that u ere complaints would be made
to the board of damaged bridges throughout
the county then came before them; the number
was quite large, however, and in some instances
the casee quite urgent. The bridge at Cox 5
Mill, near Port Tobacco, whit b was complete
ly demolished, was ordered TO be rebuilt nj
once and it i thought the structure will be
completed in about two wet ks. In all other
cases where it was found inpracticable or i'm
possible for the sew raj supervisors to repair
the damage done, general order was passed
authorizi: each com missioner to have the dam
age repaired in his district as speedily and
economically as possible. With this order in
force and with active work on the part of the
several road corps it is thought the roads will
soon be pat IN pa>sable condition.

Under the new election law the clerks of the
courts in the several counties are required to
burn the ballots six months after each election.
Acting under this clause clerk Turner had IA
handsome bonfire in his office Tuesday after

ed.
The weather this week indicates that summer
is fast approaching. The mercury has started

been resurrected to do service again this season

nish US from time to time with other sketches
of similar character OF the battles in 1hich
he participated. We are sure they will prove
very entertaining and will be eagerly looked
for by our readers.

credit to a much more experienced artist. We
predict great possibilities for Master Posey in
the field of drsuL htsmen, and care uld be
taken by his parents 10 develop and encourage
his talent for drawing.
