THE COUNTY COURT.
Tomorrov's Session Promises to Be
an Interesting One.


When the county court meets tomorrow
scrsething is liable to drop and after the
explosion the three members elected by
the people are quite likely to discover
that they are in a position of more or less
embarrassment.
It leaked OUT yesterday that Judge
Blair is not at all satisfied with the way
matters have been conducted AS a. men,
Der of the court with full power, not only
TO preside. but having a vote, Judge
Blair is entitled to consideration at the
hands of the board in the matter of con
sultation. But he is reported as having
been completely ignored, the county men,
bers betaking themselves to the sanetihed
precincts of their private apartments and
there formulating plans of action. which
when presented were shot through with a
rush without as much as saying by
At tomorrow session it Is expected
that the matter of read supervisors viii
come up. This rumor is based upon the
! Lac ,.oi sflat tne seleetmen have been
searching the records" with q view to
ascertaining how II any road districts
there are IN the county, and who the SUI
pervisorS are.
! In view of the past conduct of the Sc
lectmen it would seem as though. While
they may have no enemies to puaish they
have several friends to reward. Hence It
is fair to presume that when tOrnorrov's
session is at an end there will be enough
official heads in the room to ill all the
waste baskets in the entire structure
a feature of the session will doubtless
be the presentation of a resolution by
some member declaring all places vacant
The next move will be to appoint, and if
the little bird which whispered
the information into The Herald
mans ear is correct it is at
this jUncture that Judge Blair will de-
| liver his short but pointed address on
the ethics of politeness as applied to ap-
pointne1lts. 1naSInuch as Judge Blair is
e. fearless, sturdy old man with decided
/ views on all questions obtained by years
I OF study and experience this brief speech
will no doubt be worth listening TO-
! There is one job. however, in which
/ the present incumbent is in no immedi-
ate fear, and that is the position of SUI
! perintendent of the county infirmary. Not
/ that there is no desire on the part of the
! Selectmen to fill the place with another
man. but in this instance it appears that
the triangular phalanX of legislative so
Mdity is weak to the extent that one
refuses to vote to Gust DR.. Joel f. Al
len and has Judge Blair with him. So it
is proposed ito wait until the expiration
of Judge Blair's term in February when,
by dint OF per515 sion, they hope to pre-
vail in the appointment of some other
man.
Regarding this job there are several
men after it, among. whom are B0man
!
! Bitner. The former is ait present the
/ leading candidate.

And the wheels still revolve.
