to the state convention.
In the published proceedings of the
county commissioners, it appears that
the wages of road overseers was fixed
at So a day. County Clerk Keegan
informs us that this is a mistake. 1t
should have read $3.50 day.
Don't think that because you see a

NJ. b. Gwinn returned from the coast
last Tuesday. Mrs. Gwinn will remain

ways and stand firm for the ratio Of 16

is yet fair price. Common sheep and
cattle, however, are very cheap, there
being thousands of this class thrown

The story of "Billy" and his escape

and no doubt true. We hope we ap
