no suffering from cold. It will be inn
possible to establish proper sanitary

Hats Off To The Levying Court.

The Record lifts its hat to the
Levying Court, which body made
an appropriation for three new
bridges in Sharp county. This
is a public improvement all the
people need and, practically, all
the people want. The action OF
the Levying Court in providing
for public bridges was a prog
ressive move that means much to
the people at large. We have no
doubt very large majority OF
the people of the county will ap-
prove gladly of the appropriation.

THE LEVYING COURT.
What The Justices OF The Peace Did Ia
Their Annual Session.

The Levying Court, presided
'over by County Judge Jas. W.
Smith, convened Monday morn.
ing. The following Justices were
in attendance:
J. H. Cooke and j. A. Wilson
Eof Big Creek; r. H. Roberts and
C. H. Justus of Big Rock; j. D.
Paden and Sam Spurlock of Da-
wilson; C. A. Hail and R. W.
Cruise of jackson; H. W. Bone
and W. T. Clifford of Johnson;
D. T. Leonard and W. N. Arnold
of Lebanon; T. j. Davidson and
M. F. Kinney of Piney Fork; Lee
Campbell and Allen Smith Of

Carpenter of Cave; Jasper Hut
Gibson and w. F. Stewart of
Morgan; Peter Hansen and j. G.
Sims of Lave Creek; E. W. Cod
win of Richwoods; H. E. Dark of
Highland.
The body levied 5 mill tax to
meet the general county expen-
ses. A tax of three-fourths OF
one mill, to be collected in cur
rency, was levied to meet a judg-
ment held against the county by
W. D. Cochran, and for the pur-
cbase of county records.
Only / 1-2 mills was levied for
road purposes. Much complaint
! was made by various members of
the body in regard to the manner
i'll which the public roads have
been worked IN the past and the
complaining members were bold
to say that as good results could
be obtained from a levy of 1 1-2
mills as from one twice as large.
Almost half of the members ia.
vored road tax of three mills,
but were powerless to get it. No
Road Commissioner WINS elected,
although there was a strong SEN
timent in favor of a Commission
er. After the court would make
only a small levy for road pur-
poses, those who believed a su'
pervisor of public road work is
needed would not press the mat
ter, and, in fact, many of those
favoring a Commissioner would
have voted negatively, under the
circumstances.
The following appropriations
were made:
To defray the expenses OF the
county jails, 'S5o.
To defray the expenses OF
making the assessment and tax
hooks. $500.
To defray the expenses OF pub
| lie records, ..............,S7o.
