ment. we include disbursements made
gnder the items of Jail Commissioners.
Convict Labor at Jail and Water and
Light at Jail.
In the expenditure for Public Build
'ings" for the year 1901, some allowance
should be made on account Of altera-
tons and improvements at the County
Court House. We cannot make
proper comparison Of the disburse-
ments on account Of repairs to bridges
throughout the county because Of a re-
districting Of the county in the middle
'of the year which our last report COW
ers.
The Receiver Of Taxes has made
good progress in collecting delinquent
taxes. and If the unadjusted tax claims
now being considered by the Levy
Court were adjusted, there would be
no uncollected taxes for the years 1898,
1S9s and 1900.
Healthy Financial Condition.
In general, the financial affairs Of the
county are in a good healthy condition.
AS submitted in the Treasurer's

6999O for registration fees at the last
general election, and the expenses Of
said election were S16,43S.62, showing
a surplus Of S5,261.2S.
At the end Of the statements submit
ted In this report will be found a state
ment Of the receipts and disbursements
on account of the properties sold for

The amounts marked as receipts are
the surplus over and above all expenses

the parties entitled. A number of prop
lerties were sold, where the amount bid
was iusl equal to the taxes and costs
Incurred by the sale, of which no entry
lis shown in this account.
The money collected from Negro
lscbool Tax in the rural districts is still
ldenosited in the County Treasurer's ac-
lcount at the Farmers Bank at Will

made Of the same, which condition pre-

MRS. GRANT AND GRANTS TOMB.

ten nearly eleven years ago by the Wild

Charles II. r. Coils, and, of course,
has never been published:

General Coils. Dear Sir wish TO
communicate through you to the
Grant Monument Association Some
weeks ago Mr. Duncan, the architect,
who is to build the monument for my
husband General Grant, suggested,
whilst showing me the plans OF said
monument, that my remains should be
placed In the same sarCophagus with
those OF General Grant; this, he said,
would save space. | wish now TO
most earnestly protest against this
plan. General Grant must have his
own sarcophagus and my casket be.
side him.
General Grants identity must re.
lGain distinct. Hereafter when persons
visit this spot they must be able to say,
Here rests General Grant Yours
most sincerely
JULIA D. GRANT"
Mrs. Grants wishes. thus directly
and simply expressed, We're respected
in the arrangement of the final plan OF
the monument. Most people, We think,
will be touched by her manifestation OF
a conscientious solicitude for the pre-
historic prophecies and a definite pur.
pose perhaps at variance with the nat

Baskets in the establishment. Later in
the afternoon. after the body had been
properly prepared, the young man was
sent for again to come and see that
everything was satisfactory.

He said that he had missed the cat and

they had caused the fire. From this ex-
