Again we would direct-the attention
of those in authority TO the need OF oct,
ter heating facilities in the SchooI
house. 1t will not do to wait until the
session has begun before the work Is
| looked after. Last winter the heating
conditions were not only annoying bat
absolutely dangerous. The trustees or
town council should takeup this matter
at once.
Our County Supervisor has at last
adopted a wise course in hiring out TO
another county the remnant OF ms
chain gang. 1t is :; pity ne did not DO
this long ago. but it is better late than
never. Now that he has gotten clear
of his convicts. he. will have no neeo
for guards. nor FOR his great big mules
and purchaser for the engine might
lind q welcome and 4 bargain.

There will be no spe eches tomorrow
at the picnic from men who were not
especially invited at the meeting OF the
association to speak. M one is author
lied 10 extend Invitations to speak at
this gathering. We call attention to
this because it has been intimated that
the friends of some men may call upon
them. as is frequently the case at pub
lie gatherings. The man who under
takes to make speech on this occasion
without having been formally invited
bv the association will be regarded as
an unwelcomed intruder.
We have often heard the expression,
"Give Mr.. a pencil and piece OF
paper and he will figure himself out OF
he'll if you give him time" In con,
versation with eX-Comptroller General
Derham. who has been investigating
Clareudon's books for some time, we
gathered it is his opinion that It Is

find that the commissioners, grand jury
and everybody else were mistaken IN
supposins the county TO be in debt. he
did not tell US just when he had this
dream. but then he has not completed
his Investigations.
