five thousand each year, With this
large surplus o in the hands of the
Trustee and the need of a neat and
commodious Jail to accommodate the
unfortunate who are placed in the
county jail, | urge the appropriation of
q sufficient amount of this surplus to
build a Jail, or in the event the court
refuses to make said appropriation I
recommend that only a tax of 10 cents
be levied for. for county purposes on
the 300, and further recommend that
the old assessment books and all tax
books be stored away in the vaults and
that the assessors not to be allowed to
use said old assessment books, as it
creates a great confusion in the assess
ment OF property not being assessed to
its true owners, by being copied from
old books, and the assessors not going
on the land as the law requires and as.
sessing the property. There have been
polls assessed to men and even women
that have been dead for five or six years
and some men seventy five or eighty
years old, if this is adopted the assessor
will have to see each party in person
and will then get a true statement of
his taxes, etc.
l have endeavored as the best | could
to subserve the public interest, where
it has been possible to save expense to
the county and have given special at
tention to the earliest possible release
of persons confined for small offenses
and bound over for small offenses by
magistrates, and have gone on their
bonds myself, and have in this way
saved the county a large amount of
money. l deem it proper to say that
each and everyone of our county Off
GERS have given me their support and
have manifested an interest in public
affairs. The Sheriff at all times has
given me every possible assistance in
curtailing expenses ut the Jail and has
shown no disposition to keep prisoners
at public expense wheni it has been pos
sible to avoid it, and has repeatedly
made efforts for their release when
there was any possible chance.
The County Trustee keeps his matters
in most excellent shape and is thor
oughly efficient in the discharge of his
duties, and u settlements have been
entirely satisfactory and proved after
careful inspection by your commits
sioners on settlements. In conclusion
upon a close inspection there is scarcely
an item of consequence upon which
payment could have been avoided un-
der the law, and you as q court have
in every sense discharged your whole
duty in passing upon allowances made
during the year in so far as | am cara.

GOVERNOR TUR e

The Nashville Banner hits the nail
on the head when 1t says: Governor
Turney had some m~iserably bad advis-
ers who have done him an injury in en-
c%ouraging him in a course which has
disappointed so many thousands of his
more c~onsiderate friends. Gov. Tur-
ney was defeated by Democrats who re-
fused to vote, and he should have taken
his defeat like aman. OF course IL was
a great disappointment, and there was
q degree of modification, but that was
something that could not be helped and
the Governor should have ''taken his
medicine" bravely. The truth is, and
we may as we'll be frank about it, Gov.
Turney and his unwise political advis-
ers overestimated his popularity. The
"Old Pete" sentim entail idea hsd and
has a limited compass, but this idea
does not obtain to the extent of a domi-
nant passion with the Democracy of
the State. On the contrary, Governor

Turney's name failed to excite any en-
thusiasm in the last election, and he
became a burden rather than an inspir-
alton to the party. His speech at Muir
freesboro, the only M he made in the
campaign, was a great disappointment
to the party. twas a black number"
Instead of discussing live questions and
treating of the present needs and op-
portunities of a great State, the affairs
OF which had been for two years placed
under his control, he went back, ghost
like, to the reconstruction period and
discussed the dead Brownlow and ex-
orcised spirits from the dead past of
of burning prejudice. That speech lost
Governor Turney votes among Demo.
Gratis, because 1t showed that however
genial and pleasant a personality he
might be he was behind the times and
was appealing to mere sentiment and
prejudice. In spite of all this, the
Banner advocated and urged the cleo
ton of Governor Turney, believing,
all things considered, it would be bet
ter to keep the State Government in
Democratic control. But when he was
defeated we believed he should accept
defeat.
Governor Turney should have taken
the commissionership which was 80
kindly rendered him by Judge Lurton.
It'would have been better for him than
the contest which is proposed for him,
and which contemplates the overthrow
of established precedent and the viola
ton of the clear meaning of the con
%stitution. We say this without any
feeling of opposition to Governor Tur.

THIEVES BROUGHT IN.

Constable Barkman brought in
William Staffer and Charles Viii
liams, who on the night of the 9th
Of this month, held up and robbed
several of our citizens of their
watches and jewelry, Those young
men belong to the efete north, one
having been reared in Philadelphia,
and the other in Illinois. They
came here from San Antonio, Tex
as, on the morning Of the 9th, the
day of the prohibition election, and
watched it go of. At night they
held up their victims and rode out
on a freight train to Fulton, and
spent the next day over there,
watching the river and counting
the seconds as they passed by,
They say they borrowed a Texark-
ana paper at that place, and read
about the robbery. At night they
caught another train and made it
to Popular Bluff, and spent few
hours at that place, awaiting the
arrival of another train, at night,
to take them on to st, LOuis. They
got to st, Louis about midnight,
and were arrested for yagrants
soon after getting off the cars, and
when found with the watches, they
were piled with questions until they
broke down and told all about their
escapade here They had pawned
the diamond pin, and it could not
be recovered, as the pawn broker
denied their statements as to ever
having any transaction with them.
They say they will plead guilty,
serve their time out, and then go
to South America, and help build
up the country, The trip cost Mr.
Barkman $4,000, which was borne
by Mr., Grim and the other gentle
men held up. The grand jury we
learn, has already found bills against
them, and they will be quite old
men when the penitentiary doors
are opened for them to take their
South American tour.
