 anecdote of the Tipton county farmer
 that ever forgot it? It was a public day
 in grand old Tipton-but who can tell it except Johnl It was something like this: A stranger was there from Collin county. Texas. Our Tipton county man lns. him and wanted to know if he was acquainted with his brother John in Col lin county Certainly I am." was the answer, "he is one of ou rmost prosper

 mortgage that eats up the farm and crop that will not pay for growing, and | l wish he would help us

 Faces Trial for Life

Decatur November S.--(SpeciaD.-ihe he board of county commissioners is In ses- sion here It will be remembered that few days ago in his report of the exam ination of the books of the county or ficials that State Examiner Charles L. Townes stated that some of the members of the board of commissioners had 1ra"h pay that they were not entitled to. The matter, however, was merely technicai one. The pay referred to was for ser vices of certain commissioners for exam ming bridges, etc, and the examiner held that they could only draw pay when the entire board was in session.
 In speaking of the affair one of the county commissioners said: While the report of the examiner may be techni- caily correct what the commissioners were paid was just and right.
 "To show the justice of It, it is only necessary to call attention to the fact that since the money mentioned in the report was paid out, the state has aek- nowledged that it was right by passing a law allowing the commissioners s day instead of S2, as formely. But the eN- aniner says this was not authorized by law at the time the money was paid out" Whether or not the commission CTS will be required to pay back the money they received for looking litter bridges, etc, is not known at this time.
 Examiner Townus worked on the books here 62 days His fee came to $55S, which under the law had to te paid by the coun- ty
