TOWNSHIP TRUSTEE
IS GIVEN SALARY
Commissioners Allow Official
$500 a Year and His
Expenses.

The salary of Wayne township trus-
tee, James Howarth has been increas-
ed to $1,000 a year by the board Of
Wayne county commissioners, the Of
flee now being a salaried one instead
of per diem office. The reason for
increasing the salary of the trustee
is that there are now over $4,000 in
habitants in the township and the du-
ties of the trustee have been increas-
ed to such an extent that higher
salary is justified in the opinion of
the commissioners. in order that COM
petent officers may be obtained for
the position.
BY the 1910 census Richmond had a
population of over $4,000 and by the
1900 census the population of
the township outside of the city
of the township outside of the
city has not been reported, but there
is every indication that it has not de-
creased any in population. BY an opin-
ion of attorney general Honan the
commissioners were authorized to de-
termine the population of the town

and the township in 1900, which to-
gether made over $4,000 inhabitants

of the township and the city combin

trustees pay has been 81 per day, for
each day actually put in service. On
each working day of the year the trus
tee has been in his office and his
salary accordingly was 1926 per year.
In addition the county allowed the
trustee $500 a year as Overseer OF
the poor in the township, but as the
trustees had to employ an office as
sistant and pay him from the amount
received in salary and as overseer
of the poor, when the end of the
year came, the trustees found they
had not realized anything from the of

There was quite a discussion on the
care. propagation and pruning of the
grape. Many of the horticulturists as
well as other individuals of the county,
grow grapes of greater or less quaint
ties, being good judges of this luscious
fruit. Although some difference of
opinion exists relative to care of vines,
yet many unite in the propagation of
good varieties. These consist of the
black. white and red colored sorts, and
singularly enough a black variety, the

Habeas Corpus proceedings have
been instituted by Mrs. Bell L. VIII
lis and her son, DR.. l.. G. Alexander,
to secure the custody of DR.. Alex
ander's little girl, child of his d.
vorced wife recently deceased. Mrs.

when she died gave the little girl in.
to the keeping of a man and his wife
with whom she had made her home.
The suit is to have the child trans
ferred to her grandmother in this
city. Dispositions were taken here
Thursday, the defense seeking to
show that DR.. Alexander is not a
proper person to have the custody of
the child. 1t is admitted that his
habits were bad at the time of the
separation, but it is claimed by his
attorneys that DR.. Alexander has en-
tirely reformed since that time. He
has married again and makes his
home with his mother. The case
will be tried out in Nashville.
