DOckery Guards.

A true and tried public ser
want like Congressman Dockery
of this State deserves the re-
ward of public recognition. If
any excuse is needed for our
frequent references to him and
his work, this is sufficient.
Dockery is the faithful guard of
the treasury. He is sleepless
and tireless in his efforts to pro-
tect the rights of the people.
No item Of public expense es'
capes his attention or earnest
opposition. His hatred of wrong
is based upon principal and he
never rises to discuss an issue
without stating a principal
Valley Democrat.

James aud Frank Hudson,

have a sister with whom they
intend to make their home.

Economy vs. County Court.

Last week the Paris papers
published the annual report OF
expenditures Of the, county and
wound up with complimenting
the Economical County Court.
The statement is misleading.
now for the proof. First: The
Monroe County Court cut the
road levy half into, leaving
scarcely anything for an over.
seer to work with. only enough
to patch with. Then on the &C
c0unt OF inSuficiency of funds
to work with at an advantage
the Court pays the overseer
one dollar and forty cents to
place one dollars worth Of work
on the road. That is it costs
dollar for dollar 10 per cent
more to patch 4 road than the
patch comes to. If the mem
bers of the county court will
transact their private affairs
/ the same way it would take Just
y two.years- and half for their
entire capital to be swamped by
that 40 per cent. excess expense
account. You ask them why
don't the funds (capitaD give
out? Because you are assessed
for an entire new capital each
year for the court to fritter
away. An expense statement
is a nice thing to hide some
things. For instance, that
statement does not show d
! small item of $3.50 which was
allowed by that very same (eco'
nomicaD County Court when i,
; could have had it done for S47,
I5O. Some County Statemen:S

again that Monroe' County has

more miles of bad roads than any
