On the second of January, a nuIice
was sent to each guardian IN matters
of guardianship now in force in Jeffer.
son county, notifying him of the new
law requiring the filing of guardians
accounts within sixty days after the
3lst of December in each year instead
of during the month of his appoint
ment as heretofore. The account must
be complete up to and including the
3lst of December previous to its FL
ing, and not longer.
A new list of guardianship matters
was made, which shows that 432 per-
sons are under guardianship at the
present time IN Jefferson county. Tn.
compiling of this list involved the
examination. of som. eight or nine
hundred separate guardianship matters
and of the record book and index in
the case, and not a single mistake was
discovered in either of the books nor
was single paper missing in any of
the guardianship matters; which Is
sufficient testimony to the caretulness
with which the records were kept dur
ing the ten years of Judge Grimm S
administration. 1t is self evident
that no better record could be found
IN any county.
