COUNTY MAKES AGAIN
Judge Wyatt Invents Book by which the
County Saves $4,000

Judge Wyatt conceived the idea be
fore entering the Office of probate judge
that there should be 1unacy record in
the probate court There had never
been before that time and he took the
statutes and after much labor devised
a record that substantially complies
with the statute, which contains a copy
Of the affidavit made by the informant
and all actions taken by the court in
regard to said complaint by the court.
BY this record the county clerk was
enable to certify to the auditor of state
what persons had been rejected for
want of room. A matter which had
never been done prior 10 the first quar-
ter in July, 1895.
The county clerk in October, 1895,
made up his account and sent in an ac-
count against the state for near the
sum of 81 800 which was allowed and
he made another account the 1st of
January, 1896, for nearly the same
amount and that also is TO our credit,
and the county does not have to pay
the state as much tax by these Two
sums and said matter was only obtain
ed by reason of this lunacy record.

A BEAUTIFUL THOUGHT.

Chisel in hand stood a sculptor boy,
With his marble block before him.
And his face lit up with a smile of 10y
As an angel-dream passed DER him.
He carved the dream on the shapcless
stone
With many a sharp ineislon;
With heavens own light tie sculptor
stood
He had caught the ''Augel Vision"
Sculptors of life are we, as we stand
With our souls uncarved before us,
Waiting the hour when at Gods command
Oar life. dream passes DER us;
If we carve it then on the yielding stone,
VITA many a sharp incisiOn,
Is heavenly beauties shall be our own.
Oar lives that "Angel Vision"

THURMAN WON THE CASE.

The late Judge Thurman used
to tell many an amusing story OF
bis early practice. He went every
where he was called, and tried
every case that was presented to
hlm. He related an anecdOte Of
one case which WAS pending be-
fore a Justice of the Peace. This
Justices abode was some twelve
miles from Chillcothe, and had a
distinctly bad reputation. Thur
man when retained told his client
who, by the way, was the defeD'
dant-that he would be beaten.
"All we can do said Thurman,
sis drive out and hear what the
other side has in the way Of evil
dence. This old DItch rascal Is
bound to beat you; hell give
judgement against you, aud well
put IN an appeal, and take 1t to a
higher court. There we will get a
fair trial, and, from what you say,
we will win the case.'
'On the day of the hearing"
said Thurman afterward when
relating the story, "my client aud
| drove over 10 the scene OF trial.
The courtroom was crowded with
farmers and people OF the neigh.
bOIhOOd, who were therO to look
on. The plaintiff put on three or
tour witness, but one after one
after the other, as they testified, III
was plain and clear that they knew
nothing of the merit OF the con
trOversy. The plaintiffs testimony
in no sense established his case,
and the old DItch Justice was
desperate. The plaintiff had no
lawyer, aud the Dutch Justice COD
Quoted that side of the case pretty
much himself. But Ask what
questions he might of the plaiDtih
and his witnesses, he couldn't
bring out the testimony necessary
to found the case. After the
plaintiffs testimony was practically

A STORY WITH A MORAL.

Some philosopher has said that mon
ey and cheek make the world, and the
general opinion prevails that there is a
far greater supply of the latter than
of the former.
However that may be, there are very
few men who can ever hope to compete
with the man who called on County
Treasurer Phelps this week.
The cheeky man walked into the Of
fetal presence with a happy and friend
ly smile on his face, and enthusiast
cally greeted the genial treasurer, con-
graduating him on his election last
fall and expressing his hearty approval
of the choice the people made.
After half-hour's visit the man Of
cheek followed MIR. Phelps into seclu-
ded corner of the vault and the follow
ing colloquy took place:
Cheeky MANI put in three whole
days working for you last fall"
Treasurer.-"That so? Much oblig-
ed"
c. M.-"Yes, done you some good
too. Got you at least twelve or fifteen
votes"
Then came long and painful
silence, during which the treasurer
tried to figure out, how man who did
not reside in Audubon county could
induce so many of his neighbors to
vote for an Audubon county official.
G. MI came in to see if you
couldn't allow me dollar and a half
for my work."
Treas.-"I had pretty expensive
campaign and l really cannot spare
any more money to theslS95 campaign
fund"
Another silence.
G. M.-"Well, can't you let me have
fifty cents?"
Treas.-"I could let you have the
dollar and a half, just as easy as
could the fifty cents.
IL know you would let me have it If
you could" said the G. NJ. as he slowly
and sadly looked around for his depar.
ture and took it away with him.
Moral. - Collect before election.
Candidates are better fixed then.

JUST SIX WEEKS 400 TODAY"

The following lines were written In memor!
4 ]. G. Sharp by his sister on January 20, 1896
We laid him within his casket,
In a sweet and dreainless rest
With lilies white, in his fair hands
Upon his pulseless breast.
His brave head and the restless feet
And the beating heart-all still;
And we looked our last, on that upturne,
face,
SO natural, yet cold and chill.
And our treasure within the casket hid,
Our jewel OF priceless worth
Was tenderly borne up the fair hillside,
To be laid In the mother earth.
And we listed to words Of holy prayer
Oyer our blessed dead,
And 'earth to earth" and "dust TO dust"
In solemn tones was said.
With breaking hearts we turned away
We left him with his God.
Our precious one we yield to thee,
His Savior and his God.
We know that with the shining hosts
Before the Great White Throne,
STANDS forth IN spotless purity
Our pure and stainless one.
His grave Is very near our feet,
His heaven, not far away;
Our best beloved, we laid TO rest
Just six weeks ago today.

FOR GOOD ROADS.

Ihere Is strong and rapidly grow
ing sentiment among the farmers and
business men of Audubon county for
good roads. Petitions have been and
are now being circulated among the
farmers in several parts of the county.
and are meeting with hearty reception
at all hands. Audubon county, as all
our readers know, is in the region oc-
cupied by the great Iowa divide be-
tween the Mississippi and Missouri
rlVers,and considerable portion of the
county is rather rough for distinctive
ly prairie country. Many of the hills
are sharp and steep and the roads over
them, make very hard and tiresome
trips for the men who live at some dis.
lance from market.
No attempt has been made to get a
public appropriation for the work OF
grading some of the main roads. Pc.
tltions have been presented to the
users OF these lines of travel, with the
request that they subscribe such an
amount to be paid in work, as they see
ct.
1t has been suggested that petitions
DC lett 1t the various business places
Tor the signatures of their customers
several of the business men are taking
an active. interest in this work and
standready to do their part toward
making all the main roads of the coun
ty, good andeasy lines of travel
