that to them it appears absolutely
preposterous. The question is an inn

Coal Of commercial importance is

Yukon siIts contain some impure lig-

be said to be Of either cretaceous or

intemperance, is engendered in the saloon.

Robert Gallagher, Esq, after term
of two years as chairman of the county
court of Bedford county, retired from
that position last Monday. During his
term of service it is safe to say, and in
fact it is conceded, that the county has
meyer had wiser or more thoroughly
efficient chairman. He has constantly
kept clear eye on the financial condi-
of the county, and in many ways has pre-
vented useless expenditures of the peo-
Piles money. In short he has rigidly and
and faithfully performed his duties as
chairman, and has left everything in fine
condition. We but voice popular senti-
ment in saying that although he is no
longer chairman we are glad that the
county will still have his services as
member OF the county court. Such
