County Bonds

The county commissioners held
an important session this morning
to which they invited a number
of tax payers and representative
citizens from different parts of the
county. The commissioner had
under consideration the matter of
issuing county bonds, which had
been recommended by two grand
juries. One jury recommended
100000, and another jury
$50, 900. The county commissioners
agreed on the compromise amount
of $75, 900 as set forth in their ad-
vertisements in another column of
this paper.
The tax payers that met with
the commissioners unanimously
endorsed the plan proposed by the
commissioners and by a rising vote
pledged themselves to vote for and
to work for the bond issue at the
election ON June 4th. We will
have more to say about the plan
which is set forth in the ad vertise-
ment between this and election
day.

away, a distance of five or six miles

Pooling the Lawyer.

TOOIinS TIC Lawyer
Mr. Barr" gentleman said to a
lawyer at a dinner, Il would like your
opinion on a knotty point of law. An
uncle of mine has a peacock, and last
fall it got into a neighbours garden and
laid an egg there. The neighbor claim
ed the egg, my uncle claimed it as well,
and the two have been fighting and
squabbling over the matter ever since.
Now, sir, what is the law on the ques-
ton"
ut is an easy question to settle"
said the lawyer, with patronizing
smile. Admitting that the egg was
laid on the neighbours ground, the
neighbor nevertheless has no claim to
it unless he can prove that the owner
Of the bird took no steps to prevent it
from straying. In precedent CASE
Excuse me. but this case has no
precedent"
"Well, you know more law than l. do
you? remember distinctly a prece-
dent case where
mo, you don't"
"What do you meanT exclaimed the
lawyer angrily.
81 mean that you never heard before
Of a peacock laying an egg" was the
solemn reply.
