SMYRNA TOWN COUNCIL.
Eugene Crow REFLECTED City Collector for
Another Year-A Step to Force the
Law on Delinquent Tax
PAYERS.

All the members of the Smyrna
Town Council were present last Friday
evening to hold their regular semi
monthly session in the interest of town
affairs. The meeting was compari
lively short and outside of the regular
routine business, the only important
thing done, was the reelection of Eu-
gene Crow as City Collector.
Councilman Walls, chairman of the
committee to secure bond of City
Treasurer, reported progress. Treas
urer Cooper had given bond in the sum
of $4,000, and Councilman Walls had
neglected to take it from his safe be-
fore coming to the council.
Secretary Anthony reported the fol-
lowing statement of the finances for
the month of February:
Water Rents. .................. 5 %. 81
Light Rents. ................... 23l. 10

HE DID NOT HAVE IT.
How . JoshtnH Judge sAlted Down
Q DeiiRhtfully Fresh
Young Man.

William Lishtfoot plssst>sr tells this char.
acteristic story of Hon. Isaac Parker, famous
as the terrible Judge at Fort Smith, Ark,
who probably sentenced more men to be ex-
ecuted than any other judge that ever lived.
This was not, however, because he was SO
unrelentingly severe, but because he had
the hardest and most numerous lot of Grim
insls to deal with that ever came within the
jurisdiction of such an official. One day
when there was an unusually large batch of
culprits to be sentenced, the judge looked
compssisonately over his spectacles at one
young scamp, and said:
"ln consideration of the youth aud in.
experience Of this prisoner shall let him of
with a fine Of $50"
Before the judge had done speaking the
very fresh young man coolly stretched his
right leg and ran his hand into his trousers
pocket on one side, remarking nonehalantiy
az he did so:
That's all hunky, judge; I've got that
much right here in my jeans"
And one year in the penitentiary," con.
cluded the Judge. Then looking over at the
convict in a quizzical sort of way, he added: /:
DO you happen to have that in your jeans?"

Blron was evidently in high state
of excitement. lie was biting at the end
of his dark mustache, and the fiugers
OF his hand were playing nervously with
the star on his breast, whilst his shifty,
treacherous eyes were turning now on
de Gomeron, now on the figure stand
ing at his elbow. lie seemed TO be hesi-
tating, and heard de Gomeron say:
"This is my price-not money. not
land, not a title, but only few words.
You have each one, my lord, your share
of the spoils set down in writing. do
not want so much even-all l ask is
your word of honor to favor my suit
with the king. For me the word of
Biron is enough, and know his maies-
ty can refuse you nothing"

writhed in his chair.
"The marshal might give me the
promise seek, Lafn," and de Gomeron
turned to the man who was standing at
Biron's elbow, "the word will give me
wife, not much of a reward"
"And the lands of Bidache and Pc
luuse--eh?"
l almost fell forwards in my eager
ness to hear, and only checked myself
| in time.
Exactly" sneered de Gomeron. "Do
you think have risked my life for the
good of my health? See here, cheva-
lier," and he bent forward and whis-
pered a word or so that made the other
| pale, and then de Gomeron leaned back
| iii his chair and smiled. Biron did not
apparently see or hear, his forehead
was resting on his clasped hands, and
he seemed to be revolving the hazard
of some great step. AS for me, l thought

help" followed by 'lances" and 'pow-
