James n. of New Orleans, also survive
him.
His last years We're saddened by the
death of his elder daughter. in Novem-
Der, 1895 and by his two sons, Arthur
and Charles. in the spring OF 1896. 1t
was a grief that bore heavily on him.
ana which doubtless aggravated his
Illness.
Mr.. Libby was born in Woolwich in
1892. In his early days he attended the
common schools, the first work of any
consequence undertaken by him being
the driving of logs on the Kennebec
river, which pursuit he followed for
many years. He came to Augusta in
1912, since then having constantly re-
sided here.
He has held many and various offices
in affairs of this city and
county. He has been member of both
city marshal for five years, during the
exciting period of the Civil war He
was deputy United States marshal
three years and had been coroner since
1865. In 1867 he was appointed deputy
sheriff and held the position until
elected sheriff in 1875, to which office
he was reelected three times. He was
one of the most faithful and energetic
sheriffs this county ever had
In 1883 he was again appointed
deputy sheriff, and, with the exception
of two years, continued to hold the
office until 1897.
For several years he was a member
of the board of city assessors and was
school committee of the Williams dis
trict He was for some time secretary
of the Augusta Loan and Building
Association, the last office he held pre-
vious to his health failing.
Mr.. Libby was a man of strong per.
sonality. He had pronounced likes ana
dislikes. In all he was good neighbor
and a faithful friend.
Mr.. Libby by his systematic business
life accumulated considerable property.
After passing the winter and spring
in his home, when summer came he
made brave effort to take up his WORK
where he had left it the previous fall.
But it was no use. His health was too
poor. and after vainly trying, to regain
his vigor, he found himself once more
confined to his home. this time to his
bed, never to rise again.
The funeral will take place from the
late residence. Sunday afternoon at =
o'clock. Friends are invited to at
tend.

resolution naming committee of
five and asking for similar committee to
be appointed by the General Assembly

The object of this conference is to revise
the practices of the Levy Court in respect
to roads and the collection of taxes.
The bond of Joshua NJ. Arthurs, Demo.

was approved. Jabez jenkins, Repuhi-
can whose bond was approved on Tues
day morning by the Republican Levy
Court, Will at once secure q writ of quo
warranto against Arthurs and Startling,
to prevent the latter from turning his
books and accounts over to tho former
and to prevent Arthurs from receiving
them and exercising tho Office.
This afternoon the tax collectors, eleven
lor the whole county, were appointed, MS
well as trustees Of the poor, one each for
kenton, South Murderhill and Mispiliou

Dire 10. South Murderkill and Mispllion,
because of their wide area, have each two

collect the taxes for 1897, and their WORK
will not begin before June or July,
Meanwhile tbs validity of their appoint
ment will be tested in the courts Should
the courts fail to sustain them and the

appointments, the Legislature will be
asked by the Democrats to abolish the
