TOUR THE COUNTY.
Prot. J. W. Livingston and Supt. Leu Hold
Educational Revival Meetinus.

Last week the above named gentle
men spent the week in the country
districts of this county visiting schools
during the day and holding public
meetings at night devoted to educa-
tional topics. In five meetings they
addressed 40 people, an average
attendance of 81 at each meeting.
Supt. Leu says lie never saw more
attentive audiences and after the
addresses a discussion usually followed,
with questions asked and answered,
the audiences sometimes remaining
an hour or more after the meeting to
discuss the different topics touched
upon by the speakers.
They visited IA schools and saw the
work OF 20 teachers, SO that the
institute conductor got some idea of
the rural and graded schools of the
county, and consequently will be able
to do better work in the coming
institutes. Judging from the enthu-
siasm shown and the results that are
already coming from them, the meet
ings must have been strictly 'revival''
in character. Steps are being taken
to try the consolidated" plan in
several places, notably at Rudolph,
Baskerville and BabcOck.

BOUND OVER.
L. c. Gibbs Charged With Embezzlement,
Held for Trial at the May Term of Court

Saturday and Monday Justice
KrOmer'S court was occupied with the
preliminary hearing Of the charges OF
embeZzlement, preferred by the
Austin and Western Co. limited
against their former agent, L. c.
Gibbs. The defense submitted no
testimony and that of the prosecution
was limited principally to letters and
other exhibits. \ few witnesses were
examined. however. including prin-
cipally the prosecuting witness, A, a.
Cowles, the general agent Of the
company. from WauSau: a. Purvin,
the cOmpany'S auditor, from Chicago:
James HileS, Geo. ". Brown and E.
d. Aver of Pittsville: IT. ". Boyer.
WauSau. After hearing The testimony
and arguments in the case, Justice
Kroner bound the defendant over to
the May term of the circuit court in
bonds of 5000 which were furnished
and the defendant was liberated.
The case in a few words is as follows:
Gibbs sold a grader to the town of
Wood at its cost value for $3.50 and
collected the pay for it which he did
not turn over to the company. They
demanded OF him the money and he
refused to pay them unless they would
deduct from the sale price commits
sion to him, freight and carriage
expenses, etc. This they refused to
do and brought criminal suit against
him for embeZzlement.
The testimony shows that the
company is on the smart order and
that the agent, Gibbs, pitted his
brains against the company. Whether
or not he has laid himself criminally
liable in his efforts to keep pace with
the company remains to be seen. His
side of the story is not before the
public yet in the shape of testimony.

The MinstreIs.
The CoOns of Blackville at the
Opera House Tuesday evening enjoyed
the patronage of one of the largest
audiences that has assembled in the
city for long time, and all felt we'll
entertained with the performance.
For a home talent affair it was
exceptionally neritOriouS and the
program was sufficiently diversified to
suit the taste of almost everybody.
Joe Corriveau richly earned rich
cabbage bouquet which he grace
fully accepted, and in acknowledging
receipt of it, he sprung an original
gag" on Bert Brown, which may or
may not have been deserved, as it is
not known that he was the donor.
The receipts of the show were $3.50 in
round numbers, which will net the
band boys about Sl50. A big crowd
stayed to the dance which lasted until
about l:30 O'Clock, and furnished the
orchestra with twenty odd dollars
more for their trouble.

office in the Bank of Grand Rapids.

extend the toll line from Pittsville to

the directors were instructed to
build the line at once. Other lines to
Vedum, and other points were
discussed without coming to a definite
conclusion. The secretary and
treasurer's reports were read and a
statement of tolls received in the
months of January and February were

HEAVY TAX PAYERS,
List OF Tax Payers in the City Who Pay $50
and Over Into the City Treasury.

The following list Of tax payers in
this city embrace the most of those
who pay $50 or more of taxes. There
are probably few others who should
be included in this list, whose tax is
divided into two or more sums less
than $50, but which we did not have
time to collect. 1t will be observed
that residents Of the west side are
taxed heavier as a rule in 1900 than in
1899, and that as rule the east side
tax payers do not pay as much in 1900
as in 1899. The, very extensive
improvements on the west side last
year explains in a measure their
increased taxes. Where an appears
in the 1899 column of figures it means
that the parties did not appear in the
published list a year ago:
